This is great, thank you. Are there usually set pubs that the United support pre-drinks in for each London team they play against?

I have 2 in the Stretford End, PM me
Yep - usually a few near each ground
Yes and they are only 'set' because they have been used for years and years. Not every single fan goes to this one pub but generally you'll find most will find their way at some point in the day there.
Arsenal for example is normally the Drayton arms, Chelsea begins at the Courtfields, Spurs there is an Irish center that gets plenty of reds, Palace is a witherspoon called The Flora Sandes, Watford is the Moon under water, West Ham used to be the Denmark Arms but not sure where it will be now they moved.
There is plenty of other pubs you can go in with smaller pockets of reds so it depends what you are going for.
Right, so if I make my way to the Courtfields before the Chelsea game on the 23rd, there's a small chance I'd be able to get a ticket in the United section (albeit for a steep price)? I don't mind sitting with the Chelsea supporters worst case scenario, but it would be nice to know what the odds are.
I can do you a single mate if that's any good to you
You WILL get a ticket. You just need to accept the price will be high and get over that mental barrier of spending that amount. A few pints should see to that. You could get lucky and get cheaper but therein is the skill my friend.
Your problem money wise is the competition in London from people who do have that kind of money and don't care about paying it. It has added value with it being Joses first game at the bridge with United.
It goes without saying to know what the real ticket for this season looks like so your not scammed. Mine has not been posted yet but when it is I will send a pic if you need it.
Cheers mate!
Awesome. I personally just want to experience matchday atmosphere. That being said, any singing at the pubs or is that a no-no?
Absolutely the louder the better. Obviously takes a while to get going as drinks go down and more people come in but once it starts up it doesn't stop.
I'm in that vid. Eto'o hat-trick game under Moyes where we lost 3-1.
On another note, I've got 4 free tickets going for tonight in the North Stand if anyone's around and wants to use them. Will need to collect paper tickets from the ticket office. PM me with your mobile number if so.
Well done on that offer mate! Ive done the same in the past when tickets were going spare, better to have them used than to have empty seats.I'm in that vid. Eto'o hat-trick game under Moyes where we lost 3-1.

Exactly my thinking. I didn't even bother pushing a sale for tonight's game too hard as I thought it'd be a waste of time!
Just got some free tickets myself (with free food!) that's quality of you @NextSeason
The guy I gave my Stoke ticket to has now put that up as a 'spare' on twitter. I really really hope he's not conning other fans after paying me face value. I scrolled down his timeline and he's been looking for Arsenal spares too.
Hope I get my season ticket back in one peice. I'm never selling on twitter again!

Looking for a pair together for the Burnley match on the 29th October. Give us a message if there are any going. Thanks.
Quality! The vid not the resultI'm in that vid. Eto'o hat-trick game under Moyes where we lost 3-1.

Still looking for a pair for Stoke if anyone can oblige?
There were some tickets available, including pairs, to members last night online so might still be some now. Worth calling up and grabbing 2 memberships for £32 each as I'm sure they'll come in handy over the season. You even get returns for the big home games the week before.
I do realise this is highly unlikely but I'll still give it a shot. In unfortunate scenario for someone who won't be able to make Liverpool away, I would be glad to pick up their ticket!
Guys, advice needed. My brother is going to the Liverpool away game via an application from a mate with a season ticket that's just moved back to Australia. The mate has received a letter from the club about being randomly chosen to have to collect the ticket in person from the ticket office otherwise he'll be banned from applying for aways for the next 12 months. Is there any way round this?
Yes there is.
They can cancel the ticket with the club which means they will have to collect every subsequent away game ticket they get which basically means they should only apply for away games that they can actually go to themself.
From a selfish point of view, this kind of situation gives me small hope of a callback from United to get a returned ticket.
If he is an exec, he still might be able to do a name change to your brothers name. Means your brother will have to pickup with ID if the deadline has not passed or if he can sweet talk them into doing it for him.
If he is a standard ticket holder he can:
a) Do nothing and hope United are bluffing and the ticket comes in the post (they did this for the FA cup last year).
b) Fly back to collect the ticket
c) Do nothing and get banned as the ticket collection proceeds.
Those are your options.
He can also cancel his ticket as I said mate. Means he has to collect every future away match ticket but it's better than being banned from applying at all, unless of course he risks the ticket coming in the post as you said and it does.
The below is from the official website.
Exactly you already mentioned that so didn't feel I needed to point it out a second time
Hi guys, still on the look out for two tickets for West Ham at home on Sun 26th Nov.
Failing that, Arsenal (19th Nov) or Tottenham (11th Dec)? But I'm assuming tickets for those two will be harder to come by?
Trying to squeeze a trip in before Christmas if possible.

I have also got to pick up my tickets from Liverpool but I'm not seeing this as a bad thing as I appear to be getting more tickets this season. Before this my mate and I both used to make an application each using friends season tickets hoping that one of us would be successful. We were never lucky enough to both be successful for the same game. This backfired last season when for Spurs I had to pick up from the ground with a mate who had never been to an away game as he spent most of his time abroad.
I got lucky that he lived in London and decided he would go so we didn't suffer any repercussions.
However, because of Uniteds new regulations we only apply for the games we can actually go to and so far managed to get all the ones we really wanted and only got knocked back for Northampton which is not surprising.

I am also looking for a pair for Burnley, if there are any about. Cheers.
Still looking for 2 (or 3) together for Burnley.
I have a few memberships I can use but the ticket site says more will be released at a later date and it's been this way for a while. Rang the ticket office and they said they would only release more tickets if some are returned. Would we expect there to be returns / more released to members?
Nearly 100% certain there will be mate. Sign up for alerts when tickets go on sale and you should get notified when as soon as they do. I think every home game bar City so far this season have had returns available the week before the game. Even for City, there were returns available on the morning of the game and someone in here picked up tickets I believe.
That's why, in my opinion, it's worth having access to memberships for anyone looking to get to more than one game a season.
Can the guy who leaks the lineups to you not hook you up ?
I would if I knew someone at the club who knew the teams. Wouldn't be asking around for tickets on here if I did though would I I was actually convinced you worked high up at the club until i just seen you asking for tickets for burnley.
No, just a regular fan I'm afraid. Have met a few of here that will vouch for me!
I'm looking for a pair for Spurs on the 11th December if anyone has any spares? I'm an ST holder but after tickets for friends. Have helped plenty on here before so hoping someone can do me a favour?
Have a pair for Swansea away, looking to swap for a pair for Chelsea away.
Will happily add in another less glamorous away too (on top of the above) or a pair of STs for Liverpool home or Chelsea home (both on top of the Swansea away pair) as understand that Chelsea away is a "little" more attractive than Swansea away.
Let me know. Plenty here that can vouch for me. Cheers,

I need a ticket for the derby game on the 26th. Any ideas?
