I've managed to get Spurs, Sunderland, Swansea, Palace and Bournemouth. Try the quadrants or tier 3 areas (I get unhelpful errors for the others) and when you're trying to reassign seats to other members be patient and just click once each time and then wait like 5 seconds for the page to refreash.

Got Bournemouth now, had to go for tickets 2 seats apart but surely someone will swap seats and if not it's not exactly a million miles away so shouldn't be too bad.

Ive given up. Useless thing. Ill give them a call later today and see if there are any games with three next to each other.
And agreed @GlasgowRedz probably would have been better getting a ST then selling the games you cant go to lol

Utter joke. I can get tickets into my basket, but then it gives me an error message that implies that I don't have membership. Spent literally 50 minutes on hold to the ticket office before giving up. Absolutely fuming.

I often got to the point where I could pick number of tickets in a section but when adding to the basket it would give me an error about my membership. I had to just keep trying different sections and usually had some look when trying tier 3 or the quadrants (but not always).

Give peas a chance.
F**king hell. Managed to get a few tickets, but it was honestly like pulling teeth. Much preferred it when all the season's tickets weren't on sale all at once. That being said, the United site has always been a bit shite.

C'mon Ed. We know you stalk the caf. Sort it out pal.

So if I wanted to get a ticket for the Liverpool game then how does it work? Do you just apply and when does this happen?

You apply a few weeks before the game and you get rejected because there's about a 1/1000 chance you get picked.

Anyoen got any spares? Me and the two lads I was gonna go with this year can't get any tickets. All gone.

Which game you after? Working on the days we play Newcastle and West Ham, that's assuming they stay as 3PM KO on a Saturday.

Where the goals come from.

That sounds like the old ballot system? More accurate description now is:

You join a mad, one-morning-only, online scramble to buy a tiny number of tickets for matches some of which are nearly a year away, on a website that basically doesn't work.

Anyway, having not been to OT (other than U21 matches) for nearly two years after the experience I had last time, I was planning to try and get some tickets for a match this autumn, but totally missed out on the scramble yesterday (didn't even know the ballot system had changed!).

On the basis of the shit time I had in the NW quad last time, I've long since decided I'm only interested in tickets in the Stretty (or maybe J/K, if it has any atmosphere with this new singing section thing?), and seeing as there are only singles dotted about I'm not paying £40 + £32 membership for one.

So if anybody has any spares in the Stretty - pairs are good, 3 or 4 would be great - I'd be interested. Not too bothered about which match, beyond the obvious preferences... beggars can't be choosers!

PMs on the subject gratefully accepted.

If anybody could sort me out with some tickets for the Newcastle Home game on August 22nd I would be very grateful - didn't get a chance to buy them when they were released. Have bought off here and sold on here before.

Would be looking for 4 in total but would be happy with pairs. Thanks chaps

Hi guys,

Anyone has any advice on how to secure a pair of tickets to the home game vs Liverpool ? That weekend happens to be the first time (and probably my only time) l'll be in the UK in my life.

The VIP package offered are too expensive at £299 per ticket.
How i wish it would be a normal home game instead of one against our bitter rival.

Buy membership, put your name in the ballot and hope you get lucky - either that or sell a kidney ;)

well, by process of elimination, United v Tottenham can't be the early kick off on Sat 8th, as sky are showing Leeds v Burnley.

Am hopeful it'll be on the sunday and not the dreaded 5.30 slot.

Is the ticketing part of the website stupidly slow for everyone else?

I can apply for away tickets this year, without getting my hopes up too much, what are the chances?

If you apply for every game (inc domestic cups) you may get 1 or 2. I seem to get 2 a season. Last year was Sunderland and Liverpool

I know if a bit early and the draw hasn't even been made yet but does anyone know what the situation will be with the CL qualifiers? Will Thomas Cook be doing one of the ticket and travel packages for the away leg? Cheers.

Trying to get 2 for the opening day match against Spurs, for a friend of mine actually. If anyone has or knows of any spares or has any guidance, I'd be very grateful :)

anyone think the liverpool game will be moved to the sunday?
Nope, Sky have booked it for the late Saturday game. Absolutely no chance it will get moved though I can bet on the authorities pushing for it to be.

is a really weird time to have it.

It Is still the biggest rivalry game of the season, even with us 4th and 6th last year.

I'll be visiting England this summer from Aug 9th to 22nd. What are my chances of getting any tickets? I was thinking Villa away might be possible since it's on Friday. The other possibility is the CL playoff, if we are home. I don't get a chance to travel to England very often, so I'd like to use this opportunity to see United. Any suggestions?

CL game will probably be the easiest game to go and see as tickets for away games are hard to get hold of regardless of which day the game is being played.

Don't think I have ever seen a game get moved once Sky have chosen to air it. Playing Liverpool on Saturday evening sounds like a stupid idea but we played them on weekday night not so long ago, guessing there wasn't move trouble which is why the authorities have allowed another late KO.

I might be able to sort you out with CL qualifier tickets. I'm sure someone will be able to if I can't.
