    I like most don't believe this. We've heard it all before.

    You’re going to get pissed so quick on Saturday though.

    Aye, when you’re a company with turnover in hundreds of millions why do you have to subject other fans to high charges to subsidise your own though? Couldn’t they have just used their own money?

    To dissuade other clubs from upping their prices when playing Man United, to try and prevent it from happening again.

    But seemingly the clubs don’t care as it ends up being the fans who have to stump up the cash.

    I wouldn't go that far. It's still the same club that forces pass holders to buy cup tickets otherwise they aren't allowed in for the next league game

    Scratch that I thought it was Man Utd because of the logo in the tweet

    Clearly not the case as Man Utd have acted this way.

    Sevilla fans won't be happy with this which will put pressure on the club to act.

    Official statement from Seville...

    SEVILLA FC ALLOCATED 2,995 TICKETS FOR OLD TRAFFORD
    10/01/2018

    The club will subsidise Manchester United's price increase

    Last week Sevilla FC applied for the full allocation of tickets offered by Manchester United for the second leg of the Round of 16 Champions League tie at Old Trafford. This amounted to 2,995 tickets - 4.1% of the stadium's capacity - which were initially priced at 50, 51 and 60 Pounds.

    Owing to questions of security, the Premier League club did not act in accordance with UEFA regulations - which dictate 5% of the stadium's capacity (3,800 seats in this case) should be made available to the visiting club - when ticket prices were announced midway through December. Sevilla FC duly communicated the fixed prices and seat allocation for travelling fans to Manchester United. On the basis of this, Sevilla FC made the formal application for away tickets on the 2nd of January.

    Though attempts have been made to reach an agreement on fixed prices for tickets, this was ultimately not possible. For that reason, Sevilla FC will maintain the duly communicated ticket prices. Manchester United have announced a unilateral increase in ticket prices for our fans to ensure away tickets for the second leg cost the same as away tickets for the first.

    Sevilla FC will subsidise the price increase for club members travelling to Manchester for said fixture. With this subsidy, the club will guarantee that no club members pay more than the 60 Euros initially specified. Sevilla will be in contact with UEFA over both Manchester United's failure to make 5% of tickets available to away fans, as well as the Club's price increase after a formal application for an away allocation. Sevilla will also look to guarantee that no Sevillista pays a penny more than any Manchester United fan for similar tickets - as competition regulations dictate.

    I find 31 days is more realistic & achievable if you spread it out over the year rather than a month.

    I nearly managed it last year, I was called out when I included Feb 29th as one of my days. Some people are too picky.

    Good effort to last the time you did.
