ManU raised corporate hospitality prices by 15% for next season on the assumption that it "will be participating in the group stages of the Champions League," according to Joe Bernstein of the London DAILY MAIL. The increased costs have been "calculated on the club having at least four extra games at Old Trafford in Europe in addition to the 19 home matches in the Premier League." But there will be no refunds if ManU, which finished fourth in the league last season, "crash out of the Champions League play-off and end up in the Europa League with matches against far less glamorous opposition." Despite the risk of there being no Champions League football, the most expensive suite, The Gallery, has "already sold out" at £8,160 ($12,690) per person with supporters able to "gaze upon a private art collection based on the glory of Manchester United while they dine." Other packages starting at £3,900 ($6,065) per person are still available. Ordinary season tickets for non-corporate guests have been "frozen for next season but apply for Premier League matches only" (DAILY MAIL, 6/14).
