Really hope I can get one somehow.

It goes down quite quick to be fair it only took me 15 minutes to get through.

Obviously that's still shit but I bit of patience and your'll get one.

So everyone still thinks they'll go on General Sale.
If I become a member and buy them, can I buy multiple tickets or is just one per membership?

Is the the only game you want to go to all season? A pointless friendly!

I dont get why people dont just bite the bullet and get a membership so you can apply for the proper games or get tickets off viagogo

Paz · 16th July 2008, 14:09

nah I'm going to be a member anyway so I can go up to Old Trafford for a few games a season, as usual.
This one is down the road in Wembley, so a no brainer really; thing is I want multiple tickets for family/friends, etc who won't be going to Old Trafford during the season really, hence the wait for the general sale.

I reckon you will have trouble getting seats next to each other.

Might be able to get a few 2's if your quick enough.

Jacob · 16th July 2008, 15:37

when are they on general sale? might come over as flights to london are much cheaper than to manchester

Same here. Usually only ever have the 1 person with me at OT, but was hoping to finally take my little sister to this one aswell, at the very least. Will probably have to see what happens with the general sale. Or scrounge off people again, which is what I always seem to end up doing when I go to OT anyway. I'm not actually sure what it is I pay my membership fee for

I know, yep, same here me, my bro and couple of mates are usually members and we go to the odd game here or there...about 4-5 a season....but since this is local in London, I wanna take my other family etc that don't usually get to see them play...

Yep, and a pen, and a DVD card, and also a letter explaining that I've got a DVD card. They're all stuffed in some draw somewhere, except for the pen, which I've lost.

I almost always end up scrounging tickets though

Paz · 16th July 2008, 18:27

They asked me how many tickets I wanted - but I was only interested in one.

@ being #1 in the queue

Paz · 16th July 2008, 19:08

right, so i cant get more than 1 tick per member...said loads of ticks available and will prob go on general sale so keep an eye out

malcolm31337 · 16th July 2008, 19:09

cheers for the info paz, pretty annoying that you cant get more tickets as a one united member

Psmith · 16th July 2008, 19:16

Ok no 36 now..am going to go the whole way this time.

Psmith · 16th July 2008, 19:21

Never realized the United Road song is so cringeworthy.

First time I'm listening to the whole song.

Paz · 16th July 2008, 19:25

took me about 52 mins to get through, started at 34 or so

Paz · 16th July 2008, 19:26

i just kept my blackberry on loudspeaker and did my thing

Psmith · 16th July 2008, 19:27

#27 now..

Psmith · 16th July 2008, 19:55

FFS..reached no.1 and they closed with 15 min left to 8pm.

Had a feeling this would happen. What a joke...

noodlehair · 16th July 2008, 20:43

This is all so gay and counter productive. I can't remember the last time I succesfully bought tickets directly from the club for a game. I don't often go to games by myself, so most of the time it's not even worth trying the direct route.

Glad I haven't wasted my time trying on this one.

Why can't they put someone with a brain in charge of ticket applications?

Psmith · 17th July 2008, 21:20

Finally managed to get through today. Got a £30 one. Where's everyone else sitting?
