Really wanted to sell tickets for both games to one person as I won't have time to get them back and send again. Thanks for the effort though, at this point not far off selling 4 tickets for£50 which is pretty crazy.
Nar, I've sorted that already pal, hence...
Fair does chaps, :)
Good luck Jarman. You could always get someone to pick up at the ticket office, by supplying their name for collection with ID?

Chubbed for City but the chances of getting a ticket seem to be improving

A total of 9,211 tickets were applied for, but we only received an allocation of 2,750 tickets from Manchester City.

73% of these tickets have been allocated to Season Ticket holders and 14% have been allocated to Executive Club Members. Application success rates were as follows:

  • Season Ticket holders in the Loyalty Pot received 24% of available tickets and their success rate = 85%
  • Other eligible Season Ticket holders received 59% of available tickets and their success rate = 22%
  • Executive Club Members received 16% of available tickets and their success rate = 30%

Managed to get a pair for city! Chuffed with that. I always seem to be successful in batches so that's Leicester and City back to back.

My lower league team are playing in that neck of the woods on the Saturday, so just wondering about doubling up...

Does anyone know anything about Middlesborough and their ticket selling?
Do they sell out? Have membership etc for their games? Or is it easy to buy in their end?
I remember midlands teams, like Birmingham and Wolves used to be very easy on general sale, but no idea on the north east teams...

I've got two together and happy to give you those if you don't manage to get 3/4 together. Feel free to let me know closer to the date.
Are these still available mate?

Earlier kick off so maybe you can now make it?

Still looking for 5/6 tickets if possible for the Bournemouth game. Anyone help please?

Giggs, tearing teams apart since 1991
Alright. Just booked myself a day trip to Manchester for the Watford match. Here is the plan:

8AM - 9AM Dublin to Nottingham
9:30AM - 12:30PM Nottingham to Manchester (My cousin is picking me up and taking me to Manchester)
12:30 - 2:30PM Sam Platts or Bishops Blaize for pre match drinks
3PM - 4:50PM Old Trafford
4:55PM - Grab the first or second (likely second) train from Old Trafford Station to Manchester Piccadilly. I know the train schedule is released a fee days before the match so I am hoping to be in Piccadilly by 6pm latest.
6PM - 6:45PM - Manchester Piccadilly to Manchester Airport
7:30 PM - Gate closes and flight departs back to Dublin by 8pm.


Any thoughts on this? When I get into Manchester I plan on stopping by a train station and grabbing a day ticket so I can switch trains at piccadilly quickly. From my understanding the platform that takes you to Manchester airport is directly across from the train that arrives from Old Trafford Station. I am also going to add fast track from ryanair to my ticket. Given I don't have any bags I am hoping the security won't take long. I am sitting in the West Stand above the Stretty so unless we are winning by at least 2 goals I don't think I will be able to catch the first train. Either way, the sooner I get to Piccadilly the better. If the queue outside of Old Trafford is crazy long I plan on walking a bit away from the stadium and just calling an uber to the airport.

Also anyone know if the Munich memorial will be on that day? It will be our first home match after Feb 6th. Thanks guys!
After the match you could take the tram from Old Trafford tram stop and get off at Trafford Bar(you could also get if from Cornbrook, the stop after), just one stop after Old Trafford. Then get the tram direct to the Airport. The tram is time consuming but with this you should still get to the airport not too long after 6PM, provided you get away as sharpish as possible on the final whistle. Before the game, if you were dropped at Picadilly station after coming into Manchester, you could get the tram from Picadillly to Old Trafford tram stop.

Getting the tram to the airport isn't a bad option... but I reckon you'd be crazy to walk to Old Trafford tram stop, and then wait to get a tram from there to Trafford Bar, only to get another tram to the airport. Trafford Bar is only about a 5 min walk further from the ground than the Old Trafford tram stop. Just walk straight there instead...

@thoward I've found the best way to Piccadilly is a light jog (or leave 5 mins early and walk) to Exchange Quay tram stop where you'll get on the first tram which takes you to Piccadilly in about 20 mins. With a bit of luck you can get there for 5:30pm but I'd say no later than 5:45pm.

United not hanging around as usual:

Further to tonight's game against Hull City, Manchester United are through to the English Football League (EFL) Cup Final. We will meet Southampton at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 26th February, and will receive an allocation of around 31,000 tickets priced at £100, £90, £72, £56 and £40 (50% discount for Under 16s and 65+) at the East side of the stadium.

Applications will be open for Season Ticket holders from 8am Monday 30th January, until 8am Thursday 2nd February. Ballot results will be communicated via email and SMS on Monday 6th February. Tickets will be allocated first to supporters will full home cup credits, e.g. those supporters with 8 home cup credits will receive tickets before those with 7 and so on (irrespective of seating preferences).
Prices seem steep.

What were the prices for the FA Cup Final? Just booked my hotel for London that weekend, prices are going up fast since we went through. I'm seeing Cantona @ The Palladium on the Friday so won't be so gutted if I don't get tickets to Wembley but would top off a nice United themed weekend down that Landan (if we win).

Can't remember but it was cheaper than this I'm told. Nothing on what the black market prices will be mind but it does seem pretty extortionate with the £30 cap on away tickets that's in place at the moment.

Just found the email from last season. I think I paid £65:

We will receive an allocation of 28,000 tickets which are priced £45, £65, £85 and £115. A £10 discount will be applied to any Under 16, 16-17, 18-20 or 65 and over Season Ticket holders

With that many tickets, any chance of those of us with seven credits being successful?

Oh fair enough. My source is dodgy then! :lol:

I think you'll have a good chance cause people that were one/two credits short of full ended up getting sorted for the FA Cup final.

4:30 kick off on a Sunday sucks for getting back to Manchester though. Think I'd certainly drive and ask for ideas on where to park and use public transport for final legs of journey.

I usually park at Ruislip and get the tube to Wembley.

I paid £30 to park my car in the 'Wembley Red' car park during the Community shield game. Its £30 if you prebook and its right next to the stadium. Saves all the hassle of finding parking spots, catching tubes etc. I travelled from the Midlands and it cost me roughly £30 in fuel aswell so a total of £60 was still slightly cheaper than the train ticket and having to rush to get the train.
