Hey guys, got a question: would like to come over for one of the last games of the season, so I'd need 4 tickets. Now I guess it is impossible to get tickets for the Chelsea game, but as Swansea is the last game at home, what do you think are the chances to get 4 good seats tickets (me and my brother have a membership and could apply right away though). Many thanks for your help

If the season goes down to the last game of the season, very slim.

Ah... you not booked flights yet? Couple of us are on the Wednesday morning flight from Stansted. May see you out there.
Haven't got a ticket yet :lol: hopefully I'll be able to get a flight out of Manchester.

Don't leave it too late, they're going up by the day. My brother paid £64 for his flight, they're going for about £150 now.

Does anyone know if there's a difference (credit wise) between applying for a Euro away and being unsuccessful in both ballots, or being successful and collecting one? I applied for Braga and didn't get one - and never withdrew from the ballot.

I've now had three separate conversations with people in the ticket office, two have spoken about this "half-credit" thing they reckon I have, the other said there's no difference. Shock horror right, being told totally different things by the ticket office within hours of each other!!

Anyway, sod it, I'm all booked up for Madrid regardless, just wouldn't mind knowing what's what...

I've never heard of the 'half-credit'.

As I understand it, if you apply and don't get a ticket, you get a credit as long as you don't pull out of the application at any time. I think if you're successful and don't collect your ticket, you lose the credit though

Thats correct.

If you applied for Braga and you were never offered a ticket then you will have a credit. You can check online I think as a credit should show in your Account History.

PS: anyone got a spare for Liverpool?

Cheers lads - always thought that was the case, just this fella at the TO starting talking 'half-credits' to me the other day and threw me a bit.

Think they make it up as they go along there to be honest.

They are not on sale yet. With it being last game I reckon it will go to a ballot first anyway. Will probably be early April when that happens

On a sidenote, remember when it was really hard to get United tickets?

I've recently changed job wich means I may get to a few home games before the season ends.

Talk me through One United membership, I see its £32. Should it not have come down in value since its half way through the season? Also, I know that it's unlikely to give access to tickets for big 4 or 5 league games, but a what about cup and Europe?
Used to have a mate with 2 STs so haven't gone about this before.

Thanks kindly.

32 quid all throughout the season, the club don't offer a reduced rate. It'll get you tickets for Norwich, Reading, Villa probably all FA Cup games as long as we don't draw anyone huge. Maybe it'll get you a ticket for Swansea but that all depends on the size of the game when it comes around.

Personally I'm not so sure it's worth it right now unless you get lucky in Madrid, City or Chelsea ballot.

Have you looked in to the possibility of a half season ticket?

Would guarentee tickets for all the big games and it is most likely you will find someone who will take the tickets of games you can't attend, especially the business end of a season...

Hi guys, thinking of making a trip for the United v Soton game near the end of the month, just wondering which of the following is the best section to be at: NW3430, N4401, N4402, E331-334, NE3417-22?

Thanks

Edit: NE3418 has the most expensive tickets, does that mean those are the best seats to buy?

Depends what you want really? Atmosphere or view?

I'd say no straight away to N4401 & N4402, too high up.

The quadrants (NW & NE) are good if you're in the first 10 rows or so. First 15 rows in East are also good.

Thanks for the info, most of the seats are right near the back of each section, think I'll try the NE quadrant, haven't been there yet, been in NW a few times...
