Manchester United give season ticket holders ultimatum for upcoming FA Cup match

Manchester United's season ticket holders are facing the possibility of being banned from a Premier League match if they refuse to dish out cash for the club's upcoming FA Cup replay against Cambridge.

The club have asked season ticket holders to pay £50 for their clash with the League 2 team or face banishment from United's game against Sunderland on Feb. 28 at Old Trafford.

It seems like a harsh stance for the club to take, and the response from some supporters reveals their frustrations with the guidelines. However, the rule is listed among the terms that holders must comply with in order to obtain their season tickets:

Ticket Holders are required to provide valid payment card details which will be used to purchase tickets for home cup matches. For each home cup match for which a Ticket Holder either fails to provide valid payment card details or the card or payment for such home cup match is declined, the Ticket Holder’s Season Ticket may be suspended for one home league match.

The reluctance among United supporters seems completely justified, as the team have refused to lower ticket prices, even though the club is playing a team from the fourth tier of English football. It's even harder on the traveling Cambridge supporters who are forced to spend almost £50 for tickets, despite being used to purchasing tickets at their home ground for under £20 for league games.
