Are community shield tickets on sale yet?
All ticket/travel information thread - 2016/17 -Touting will not be tolerated on the site
- Thread starter Sultan
- Start date
Is the e-ticketing site working for anyone? I'm logged in finally but when I select a game there is no option to buy tickets, I have membership sorted already of course.
It's not letting me in at all. Took around 30 minutes to get three quarters of the way around and freezes.
It was 0-30 mins when I got in the queue over an hour ago.
Hate how they put them all on sale at the same time.
JB7 - that's about how far I've got too and it's been stuck at that point since about 8.45.
Ye I was dead close in the queue then closed my page by accident, back at the beginning now 
Still not working for me, logged in but when I select a game I just get the ad message "Tickets on Sale to member 15 June at 9am", but no option to buy.
It didn't open til 9, how did you get on there at 8:45? Been on since 9:00, still waiting...
You can log in at any time Jimmy. But sales were supposed to start at 9am.
As I say, I'm in, but no option to buy there at all. Frustrating as hell, tried calling but just get cut off.
You can log on at any time. There's been a queue all morning by the looks of things.
Regarding the new away game rules, saw this on Twitter yesterday:
United have revealed that in the first 15 games of last season, 50 bank cards were used to apply for more than 12,500 tickets. One was used 426 times.
New rules are a good thing if only to stop things like that

Looked at the site around 8.30 and the queue was already open.
In now but it's not letting me buy more than one ticket even though I'm logged in and my son's membership is in my network.
Sent my parents off to the actual Ticket Office as they're in Manchester today, fingers crossed they get better luck than I'm having.
Have the club actually confirmed that or just someone on Twitter?
'cause that's absolutely unreal. If that's what's happening they should have stopped it ages ago.
EDIT: Yeah, just found it. That's ridiculous.
Yeah I saw that... shocking stat.
It's annoying how many are up in arms over this and claiming the club to be out of touch with fans etc.
The only people who can I see being strongly opposed to the changes are those who are abusing the current system... putting in loads of syndicated applications and passing/selling any tickets on. So those people will fall foul and maybe face a ban? I have no sympathy as abusing the system is hardly fair when demand for away tickets is so high.
Hardly surprising, the Irish branch for example have hundreds of ST's linked, as do many other branches. And then add execs to that too, and loyalty pot.
And then touts of course.
Got through, it crashed, now I'm back at the beginning.
Joke.
Joke.
Been a complete joke all morning, not sure what has happened with me. It's like it's not seeing the membership I bought over a week ago. 50 minutes waiting, then no possibility to buy ticket, then finally, refreshed and back in queue.
And obviously the TO number just keeps cutting me off after 5 mins in their queue.
Shite shite system!
It was a nightmare last season as well. Took me about 5 hours to get 4 games. Such a stupid system.
Been stuck at 3 quarters of the online queue and it seems to have froze. Is it better to wait or refresh?
This was a good idea if I do say so myself. They went in and came out 10 minutes later with tickets to the 4 games we wanted - Southampton, West Ham, Everton and Crystal Palace.
I'm furious again. What a fecking nightmare
I just refreshed.... and now it's not even showing as loading....
I was just about to tell you, DO NOT REFRESH! It just takes you back to the start...
Now I'm in but it doesnt let me assign to other members?? WTF
After you refreshed you are in within 20 minutes?
After you refreshed you are in within 20 minutes?
Less... almost 5 minutes. Theyre clearly having serious feck ups with the process
It lets you in but not to buy tickets or assign to other members
I waited on a screen saying I had between 0-30 minutes to wait for 90 minutes then refreshed but Im still stuck in the 0-30 minutes screen. Ohh well. I'll just have to pick up a few Tier 3 tickets for the games no one wants when it all settles down.
It's an absolute farcical way to sell tickets.
Is the derby going to get moved to the Sunday? At a wedding on the 10th....
I'm in the opposite boat to you. I've got a commitment on the 11th so praying it's either a Friday, Sat or Monday. Pretty much nailed on to be the Sunday though, so I wouldn't worry if I were you.
Will have a spare for Southampton and Leicester if anyone's interested.
What a mess. Managed to get on, but it's taken all morning.
Give up. I'll try again later.
I was logged out after waiting for two hours, now I'm on, but I can't get tickets for anyone else in my network. Selling all the tickets in one go like this is absolute madness.
United still took the money though from those bank cards last season, as someone says above why did they not stop it when they spotted that stat mid season if it was such a big deal?
Same thing with the FA cup which fecked people around. Quite happy to take the money from one card all season for shit games no one was interested yet suddenly change the rules for the final.
As said on the previous page I agree with the changes in principal but the reality of it I think will put an already shaky system under immense strain. They are bad enough in the ticket office as it is for making mistakes with applications.
Every year this happens and they never listen or update their systems to cope, honestly the worst run club in the country when it comes to this stuff I think one old woman with an excel spreadsheet would do a better job.
It was OK (well, better anyway) 3-4 seasons ago, when they sold tickets in batches rather than all in one go, but selling them all in one go, at the same time as fixtures are announced, makes literally no sense. I'd love to know the logic behind this, although it'll probably be "we'll sell the tickets whatever, so feck em"
Yeah exactly mate, get that money !!
I'll possibly take those off you mate.
