Manchester United fans plan peaceful protest over season ticket bans

Ahead of the Manchester derby, The 1958 supporter group has asked fans to assemble peacefully outside Old Trafford at 3 pm on Sunday. The rally is a direct response to United’s recent season-ticket bans, part of a summer effort to curb ticket touting that supporters claim has unfairly affected innocent match-goers. The group urges all fan factions to unite, setting aside previous disagreements, and to demonstrate under the banner “Show the evidence.

Lift the bans” at the Bishop Blaize pub. Manchester United has acknowledged that its ticket-enforcement process caused significant upset and that it misjudged the prevalence of account sharing among loyal fans. The derby, kicking off at 4.30 pm, sees United trailing Manchester City by five points in the league.
