MANCHESTER, England (AP) โ€” Amid growing disgruntlement among its fans, Manchester City announced Wednesday the club is freezing ticket prices for the 2025-26 season.

City said the price freeze related to general-admission season tickets and match-by-match tickets for Premier League games and came after a consultation meeting with a fan engagement group.

Many City supporters stayed in the concourses inside the Etihad Stadium for the first nine minutes of the Premier League game against Leicester last week to protest against the clubโ€™s new partnership with a third-party ticket resale platform.

That came after seven City fans groups sent an open letter to the club complaining about the rise in ticket prices in recent seasons and the prospect of local fans being frozen out of attending games.

In a statement, City said โ€œpositive and constructive dialogueโ€ has taken place over recent weeks with City Matters, the clubโ€™s elected fan engagement program.

โ€œThe club would like to thank City Matters representatives for the feedback they provide on a range of topics relating to ticketing,โ€ City said, โ€œand for sharing a broad range of perspectives from the fans they represent.โ€
