Man U fans not happy with Midtjylland ticket price:

Manchester United fans are planning a protest against ticket prices tomorrow after being charged £71 to attend the club’s Europa League game away to Midtjylland.

United fans are angry at being asked to pay a premium price to watch their team against the Danish champions in what they view as a second-rate European competition. Banners have been prepared by some of the 800 fans attending the game at the 11,800-capacity MCH Arena in Herning. One of them has “WELCOME TO SCAMDINAVIA” written on it.

United fans have been charged £71 per ticket, whereas Southampton supporters were charged £22 when they visited Midtjylland in the Europa League play-offs in August. United fans are expected to sing about their annoyance at the ticket charge during tomorrow’s match.

“Seventy-one pounds to watch a Europa League game is extortionate,” Andy Mitten, the author and editor of fanzine United We Stand, said. “The combined cost of all three tickets for Manchester United’s Champions League away games was only £75.

“Do they think United fans are three times wealthier than Southampton fans? Midtjylland are ripping fans off — their own and the 800 travelling fans.”

It is understood that United complained to Uefa when the prices were announced, but there was no reduction.

The only direct flights from Manchester to Billund, the nearest airport to the ground, are available at £321 return. Given that fans will have to pay up to £100 to reach Herning and hotels are charging up to £320 for a room, a two-night trip to Denmark could cost much more than £1,000.
