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?
Yep, no choices now. Makes sense, as there's probably a tiny chance of getting any, let alone having a choice!
Love the "premium" ticket thing. Execs presumably, but how are they available?

I've got Liverpool in the ballot before, admittedly applied for a single - plus had other big 6 games.

Not so keen if it you don't get any preference choices as there are parts of the stadium I would rather not be in - particularly those you get sushed for making noise, or god forbid, stand if we're about to score.

Going to email them to query... Might get a reply in time...

For Liverpool, I think I'd take being in North 3 to be honest.

I think I got Liverpool in the ballot once too, a single. I'd also managed to get one on viagogo, and bizarrely it was uite hard work shifting the extra ticket!

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.
Are you sure this works?
I’ve read or heard several times I need a paid membership to get tickets transfered to my account.

Well it’s worked for loads of people I’ve given this info to, the best way to find out is try it out. There were early problems with United not sending the email to be verified ., but that seems to have been ironed out. I have transferred tickets to friends with free accounts. It’s only so United can keep account of who is sat in the seat. You dont get any other benefits.

Thanks, I can confirm this works now, just got a ticket for the Liverpool match transfered to my account :)
The verification mail from manutd.com i never got however, so i had to sign in using google.

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?
Is there any pattern to when these ticket drops happen? We're looking for tickets for ANY game but I'm totally confused how to go about getting member tickets now. Are there ticket alerts when these go live? We missed the original sale in summer so really struggling to get our hands on any member tickets now.

No ticket alerts, you just have to try your luck by logging in all the time and checking and hoping someone puts it on here. United‘s communications with the supporters are not the best.

Random times too.
10.13 the other day, 730pm or so a couple of times.

Without a pal in the ticket office, or without happening to see someone mention it on here you have no chance unless you love on the ticket site.

Aside from league cups and midweeks. They're probably good chances still. Though we'll see if that rings true v Arsenal.

Doesn't seem to be anyone offering tickets on this thread at all this season either which is rare.

Ah yes, I did think there was one offer, apologies :D

But usually there's quite a few games being offered around, not just the rare non sold out league cup fare.

Yes Rob, still 1 left
The only tickets left for West Ham are about 50 oddies in T3 in North , some in both quads including execs, and a couple of 1000 in East T2 that West Ham returned, quite remarkable really considering it’s a mid week league cup tie, Pep won’t be happy

Thanks.

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 they've sorted out the forwarding system which is good to see. Instead of 10 days it now seems to be instant.

Hi all, is there a fee when transferring season tickets to another member? If so does this depend on whether it's a free or a paid membership? Thanks

Yeah, that was the experience I had the other night. I forwarded a ticket to someone and it showed immediately in my account as being registered in their name and had an email confirmation too. They didn‘t check their emails until 7am the next morning and the ticket was already there.

It‘s for the Villa game and I‘d wanted to get it done early so that I had this week to chase up the ticket office when it inevitably didn’t arrive :lol:

At £250 each, might give it a miss !! You do probably get a programme and a butty with a brew thrown in though !!

Not just me then! I did one today for Everton which is 2 weeks away so I was pleasantly surprised to see it was an instant transferral, hope it continues.

Anybody know the chances of getting an away section ticket for Atalanta game in Bergamo? I really don't want to be in the home end but I've long since let my membership lapse.

As a non member you have zero chance. They've only given us 800 tickets and they will all go to ST holders and members with the most away credits

Fecking hell, 800 is that it.

I've just renewed my membership but there's no chance of getting signed up for it. I live close by so it might be a case of going in the wrong end, Italian stadiums are usually pretty friendly to rogue away supporters as long as you stay away from the ultras.

Anyone else get an email from the club saying they DONT have a ticket for West Ham on Wednesday? eventhough they already took the money from me and it shows in my online account

Really made a mess of ticketing this season

Yes mate, same here having paid weeks ago. I did transfer mine to my cousin but it’s ridiculous. Have also been randomly refunded money for the Villarreal game. Having called them today they had no idea why and said it was a glitch in the system. I wouldn’t mind teething problems but the customer service is as appalling as it’s ever been. Just a mess. Have been on the phone more times already this season than the last ten combined.

Following our previous email, we wanted to clarify that if you have forwarded your ticket for West Ham, your away game eligibility will not be impacted.

As a reminder, away game applications are accepted from Executive Club Members and Season Ticket holders at Silver Level and above who make payment for all home cup games, tickets can then be subsequently forwarded if you are unable to attend.
