What do you reckon, how much 2 United-Lyon tickets would cost on the day? We're planning on going with my mate, but the best offer we got from Hungarian travel agencies was 200 quid for a ticket and a room for the night in a three star hotel and that doesnt sound right.

Ok, the only match at Old Trafford currently scheduled to be on a Saturday within the next month and a half is the Newcastle match next Saturday, 17:15 Kick-Off. There may also be a FA Cup match on 26 January if we're drawn at home in the fourth round. There's the Man City game on February 10, which is on a Sunday, Kick-Off 13:30.

There are still some tickets available for the Newcastle match on Viagogo, a ticket exchange website. In order to purchase a ticket on this site you need to have a Manchester United membership number. I believe membership costs £28, but whether your application would be processed in time for the game is highly questionable. One possible way around this problem would be if you could get someone on the Cafe to buy a ticket for you. Can anyone on the Cafe do this for him?

You could always try to buy one off a tout outside the ground, you'd be looking at an outlay of something like £60.

If we are drawn at home in the fourth round of the cup, I'll be at the game and could buy a ticket for you and give it to you outside the ground. There is a real possibility that the cup game could go to general sale, in which case you could buy a ticket without the need for a membership.

it's not the mos horrible price i have seen.

It's maybe double what you would spend on the two seperately. But that being said you can't beat OT on European nights. May well go on GS

I have 2 x tickets available for...

Sun 27 Jan - United v Spurs or Reading in the FA Cup
Wed 30 Jan - United V Portsmouth

Tickets are North Stand Tier 2 (6 rows from the front) about level with the 18 yard box - really good view of the whole pitch and both goals. Selling for face value - £38 each - Tickets can be collected from Sale (10 min drive from OT) or posted and will then have to be dropped of again in Sale or posted back.

PM Me if your interested.

The bloody agency offered us 2 nights in Liverpool(!) and a ticket for 375 pounds, finally. We opted to go on our own, and we booked everything, the only thing left is the ticket(s).

Do Viagogo sell CL tickets? If so, is it substantially cheaper than a online tout's offer?

They do. It'll be little under one and a half times face value on there, so depends on the tout, I guess!

Is anyone selling their Newcastle ticket without me needing to buy the One United membership?

If you have two One United Memberships then you can apply for two tickets in the standard members ballot for the Lyon game. If you're unsuccessful in the ballot, which is certainly possible, then I can almost guarantee you that you'll be able to get two tickets together for the Lyon match on the Viagogo website.

Note, you have to be One United members to buy tickets off the Viagogo website.

No we aren't with One United, I take it that packages will cost an absolute fortune? I'm scoping around here on the net trying to find everything and anything, and getting nowhere with it

Yup, cheapest package available from United will probably set you back at least £200 for the two of you. Cheapest way to get two tickets would be through One United.

MU Travel offering packages at £99 per person for the Lyon game.

hahaha, alright so I am third in line. Seriously, I didnt know getting tickets would be this hard. Was it like that pre-Glazer era? As in we need to pay money to get a One United membership in order to be eligible for tickets? :S I wasn't in the Uk then so I do not know, can someone answer this?

For the first half of the season it's pretty easy. Must have got to 5 or 6 games since Sept just on ringing the Ticket Office on the day/days before the game and that's without renewing my membership.

Second half of the season always harder

I'm a one united member. Didn't expect to have the time off so didn't apply. Tried on here. You can get them on viagogo but i refuse to pay a £10 booking fee, taking each ticket to £50 with all there other things added on as well.
