For those wanting a free account, which allows tickets to be transferred to you but can’t buy a ticket from official United sources. Now pay attention , go on the manutd.com page, look for memberships, ( do this on tablet or computer, it’s a different format on the phone for some reason.) top right hit ‘ my account ‘ fill that in, scroll down and hit register. You will then get an email from United to verify . When you have done that log out and in again. click on your name and then on the left General information you will see your membership number.

What do you do if you have a ticket on your account but no email forwarded on with a QR code ?

How do people forward tickets on the Man Utd website? When I go to the Tickets section and click the "Forward Ticket" button, the "Forward Ticket" option in the pop-up is greyed out. I am a paid member, but not a ST Holder. Is anyone else facing this issue or not?

Another question, does the "Replace Seat" button work? I was hoping to swap my seat for the Villarreal game, but that option just didn't go live when tickets were on sale today. So I ended up buying another ticket from my wife's account with a better seat (with the hope of selling my previous ticket to someone else later), But how can I avoid this in the future?

On a separate note, I have one ticket to the Villarreal game in N3404. Happy to sell it at the face value of £52. Please let me know if anyone is interested.

PS: this is my first year buying tickets, and it seems like a painful process with everything.

First of all I’m sure a member can’t transfer the ticket the same way as a season ticket holder can , Uniteds thinking being that a season ticket holder has to buy the ticket as part of the T & Cs , a member buys a ticket through choice so therefore shouldn’t have to transfer it. Your best bet would be to WhatsApp your downloaded QR code or if you haven’t downloaded it forward on the email

I may be wrong but I’m not sure that Replace Seat is operational for 51 weeks of the year. It was the option we used to relocate our season ticket seats in July if we wanted and was only in use for 7 days. The ST Hub says that there’ll be 7 days next Summer when it opens up again for anyone wanting a seat move.

I was wondering how this would work, as you'd think there would be some steps to flag 10-15 tickets being "looked after" by one individual / sent to a single address.
But I'm pretty sure a lot of supporters clubs have one individual who legitimately does the admin for their whole club, so it would fly under the radar quite easily.

We've even had people on this thread every so often saying they have 5 or 6 spares for games!
There’s that and also a lot of people use fake names and addresses, but if for example they live at 25 Main Street, there’ll have a season ticket on 25a Main Street, 25e Main Street, all of which don’t exist and go to number 25

or some just use friends and family’s addresses etc.malthough I don’t know them personally, I know of people who do both the above. Really underhand in my opinion

Stupid question but better to check:

I assume I’m paying the ticket price (2x£58) as a full deposit and will be refunded if unsuccessful in the ballot?

Also, how long does it usually take to hear results?

Cheers :)

Thanks guys. I haven’t been charged as I haven’t pressed the “payment” option yet but yeah, that makes sense :D
Ah fairs, yeah you'll probably see a £0.00 "card check" on your statement for Utd straight away but that's it unless successful

I have 1 ticket available for the Villarreal game on Wednesday 29th September.

Great standing seats in the J Stand (N2402). £38.

Would also be happy to swap this ticket for a Villa ticket at home on Saturday 25th September.

PM me if interested.

Looks like the window of time for snapping these tickets is getting smaller by the week.
Perhaps about 5mins today?
Wasn’t long at all. I mean only a handful too when I checked, think I saw 3 together in one section, and maybe 3 or 4 singles dotted around elsewhere.

Yep, absolutely loads scattered around, 1's, 2's, 3's just not available to purchase! So infuriating.

Any reason why they'd make them available, then quickly shut them off even when there's loads still showing?

Just picked up a pair of West Ham away on the website. :cool:

Looks like they need to be collected from the ticket office which wasn't clear prior to purchasing so if any eligible STH are still looking, worth checking the site between now and the game I reckon as I can see a few getting returned based on that.

Some strange work from the club on Villa today for sure.

About a 5min window if you happened to log in at 10.13 or whatever it was, and then shut back down.
And now about 50-60 scattered around but not available.

What are they doing exactly?

I’m relieved that the Villa ticket I forwarded last night to my son’s friend was in his inbox at 7am this morning. Didn’t fancy having to deal with the ticket office if there was a problem.

Boom. I just collected mine and my brother's this afternoon and there was hardly any staff in there. I quite like the new system of being able to pick up away returns by being persistent online rather than getting lucky with a callback.

Any advice for obtaining a season ticket this or next season? I signed up as a full Member (premium unavailable) in August 21 and have registered and paid for priority season ticket waiting list

Agreed, I like it. I spent all day Tuesday hitting refresh and eventually got lucky for 2 West Ham returns, did the same for wolves too

Lots of posts about tickets being available - just not to actually checkout.

You can 100% guarantee, it is to encourage Carabao Cup sales- the only currently active game available for purchase if you scroll down the ticking site.

The rest say register interest.


[edit]
Liverpool ballot- I cannot see an option for seat preference? Am I missing something?
Or has it changed to a simple YES or NO, and they stick you wherever?
