  1. All ticket/travel information thread - 2023/24 edition - Please be careful purchasing tickets

    I've been going longer than that, but as a member. They definitely did implement a loyalty system this season for Liverpool, Arsenal, Leeds and City. I got all 4 games in the ballots having never previously got 1 in the ballots in all the seasons I've been going. I think they realised that...

    Like I said outside of the big games, tickets are easy to get. The big games...before this season I have never got one in the ballot. Therefore I think you've had more luck than me. I always manage to grab a return when they put them up on the website though. It is very tedious trying to grab...

    I tried in 21/22 no luck. Tried again for this season, no luck. Tried again for next season, no luck. They've still got my £100 deposit though and I've got a cup season ticket.

    Thank you for the offer but I was able to get one a couple of weeks back as they released some on the website a few days after the ballot. The post above was not meant as a way to ask for tickets, I've never asked anyone on here. I always get them direct from United. I just wanted to...

    Just to confirm. The Chelsea ballot was not based on loyalty as the short lived "loyalty scheme" has been scrapped. Confirmation of this was on the fans forum meeting minutes from March. Our ticket office and MUST are a joke. Got 4 out of 4 ballots before the Chelsea game (rejected in ballot)...

    Bizarre that they've not allowed cup season ticket holders into even the 3rd ballot for the FA cup final.

    Yes, I've seen the waiting list for Anfield but it should not be as bad for Old Trafford as we have a much larger capacity.

    Agree with the other poster regarding the FA Cup final.The 2nd ballot should have gone to cup season ticket holders that bothered to apply for and attend the game vs Brighton in the Semi finals. Also this new policy they have introduced about selling season tickets back to the club for pretty...

    Fully confirmed. The United ticket office are lying about the way they are supposed to be conducting ballots this season. Those that had attended the most games were supposed to be given priority. Attended every single game this season. Chelsea ballot = REJECTED. EDIT: This in my opinion...
  10. All ticket/travel information thread - 2023/24 edition - Please be careful purchasing tickets

    Yes, they have made it way too easy. United will sell out every game and therefore, having that rule in place means that people probably are taking advantage of this situation. Attend games vs City, Liverpool and Arsenal. Sell back the rest and keep your seat for an outlay of about 100 quid...
  11. Old Trafford revamp/could be torn down and rebuilt according to Glazer plans

    I've mentioned it before, although it has had very slight renovations, Lambeau field of the Green Bay Packers is pretty much the way it's always been and is seen as a historic landmark. They still sit on bleachers.
  12. Nani

    Nani was 10x the player Berbatov was at United. Nani was genuinely world class and I definitely thought he was under appreciated even at the time. Alongside Ronaldo he was one of the best players for Portugal in the Euro 2016 win too.
  13. Old Trafford next week

    The atmosphere was amazing against Atletico last year. The atmosphere is consistently good at Old Trafford. Sometimes I feel like I live in an alternate universe when people say the atmosphere at Old Trafford is bad and it is so much better at Newcastle/Liverpool. It really is not.
  14. All ticket/travel information thread - 2023/24 edition - Please be careful purchasing tickets

    Well technically if you want to do it on games attended I should get one as I have attended every single game. Not one missed, including the premier league. But the rules are the rules. I'm not a season ticket holder, so don't have priority. The rules are in place for season ticket holders and...
