Manchester United has placed ticket restrictions on a six-year-old club mascot and other season-ticket holders as part of a crackdown on ticket touting. The six-year-old, named Ruari, was hit by the club's measures after his mother was suspected of unauthorized ticket sales. The boy's mother has denied any wrongdoing, explaining that she simply manages other family members' tickets for them.
The actions are part of a broader club initiative to combat ticket touting at Old Trafford. However, the enforcement method has been criticized as a "ban first and ask questions later" approach.
This strict enforcement has led to growing discontent among supporters, with reports indicating that the club's strategy has left loyal season-ticket holders feeling dispensable amid an ongoing ticketing controversy.
