Fulham have been slammed by their supporters following a significant increase in ticket prices for their game with Manchester United.<\/p>\n
Marco Silva’s side are set to host the Red Devils at Craven Cottage on Saturday November 4, with the clash kicking off at 12.30pm.<\/p>\n
However, the cost of tickets for the match have risen exponentially since the equivalent game last season, where the highest-priced option was \u00a3100, with this now coming in at \u00a3160 to sit in the club’s new Riverside Stand.<\/p>\n
The family area at Craven Cottage sees adult tickets cost \u00a335, but\u00a0supporters will be set back \u00a367 for the cheapest option outside of that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, junior prices range from \u00a331 to a whopping \u00a380, despite this category being for Under 18s.<\/p>\n

Fulham have been slammed after the ticket prices for the game with Man United were revealed<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The highest-priced adult ticket for the clash is \u00a3160, while junior tickets rise to as much as \u00a381<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Fulham Supporters’ Trust have said that they are ‘extremely disappointed’ with the prices<\/p>\n
After the pricing structure was announced, the Fulham Supporters’ Trust (FST) insisted they were ‘extremely disappointed’ with the club.<\/p>\n
In a statement, they said: ‘The prices for the Riverside Stand are the highest we have ever seen for individual matchday sales and are likely to be financially out of reach for many of those who hold club membership.<\/p>\n
‘We continue to have concerns that club members, including concessions, are being priced out of attending games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘There seems to be a marked increase in matchday ticket prices across London clubs in particular and we will continue to monitor how Fulham compare against our peers.<\/p>\n
‘Matchday ticket pricing will be an agenda item for our October meeting with the club.’<\/p>\n
While Fulham do offer discounts on match tickets of between \u00a35 to \u00a310 for members, the sentiment of the FST was shared by other supporters on social media.<\/p>\n
One angry fan said: ‘Absolute state of those prices for Manchester United at home.’<\/p>\n
Another added: ‘We\u2019re a football club that off the pitch are so out of touch with reality. By charging these prices, you are more than likely replacing genuine supporters who now can\u2019t afford to go with day trippers who have bundles of money. The club can\u2019t afford to alienate supporters.’<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, other Fulham fans were quick to point the finger at the club’s owner, Shahid Khan, and his son Tony Khan, who is the club’s director of football operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One said: ‘Indefensible pricing, feels like the Khan\u2019s are trying to maximise revenue now to increase the sale price of the club; sadly they\u2019re pricing out our next gen fans. I expect there\u2019ll be loads of United fans scattered everywhere.’<\/p>\n
A further infuriated fan added: ‘This is disgusting! \u00a370-80 for KIDS?,’ while another said: ‘We want our club back.’<\/p>\n
Fulham supporters also faced a rise in the price of their season tickets this year, with costs increasing by between 16 to 18 per cent.<\/p>\n

However, the club still sold a record number, with more than 16,000 snapped up.<\/p>\n
The FST have launched a campaign ‘Affordable Fulham’, which aims to put pressure on the club to ‘implement a fair pricing structure’.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, following Saturday’s draw with Crystal Palace, the Cottagers have eight points from six Premier League games.<\/p>\n
They return to action on Wednesday when they host Norwich in the Carabao Cup, before they face Chelsea on Monday, where the highest-priced tickets are \u00a3105.<\/p>\n
