Good luck getting a ticket mate I really didn't expect it to be this hard. Seen people swapping all sorts for them! Going to be big numbers travelling without one including myself up too now!Tried last night mate, got told outbound only.
Office shut now as well so doubt will get anything from them.
Though do live near Blackburn so may well ring me tomorrow going off past experiences. You not got any spares mate?
Nope, useless ticket office.
Guessing no chance for United members
No mate, a lot of season ticket holders will have missed out.
yeah, fair
Optimistic mate!
Courtfield, it's opposite Earls Court tube station.
Would be a crime if you got a ticket ahead of a season ticket holder who travels far and wide to support their team!
Financial/Living circumstances mean not everyone can afford to get a season ticket. I travel up as often as I can, usually costing at least £150 a go all inclusive. Doesn't make me or ManRed any less deserving than you does it?
They are talking about him saying he stays in London so wants an away ticket for the Chelsea FA Cup game at the bridge @Zebs.
Less deserving of a ticket to Chelsea away? Yes it does make you less deserving actually...
Whoops, misread.They are talking about him saying he stays in London so wants an away ticket for the Chelsea FA Cup game at the bridge @Zebs.
Or maybe he does mean the home PL game and they jumped the gun, but the timing of his post just after the draw makes you think he's talking about the FA Cup match
He called it a crime to miss so asked for that kind of response in fairness.
He said it'd be a crime if he didn't get one! I'd love to go and even as a season ticket holder who travels to any away I can get my hands on - there is probably a 70% chance I won't get a ticket...
I travel quite a few times but work doesnt allow me that often.
I stay 10 minutes from Stamford bridge. To have United playing 10 minutes from your house and not going to see will be difficult to take. Calling it a crime is just adding dramatic affect.
I would never want a ticket before a season ticket holder or anyone who travels far and wide around Europe to watch united play. I do go to OT few times a season but financial/work situation doesn't allow me to go as much as I like. I have never watched United play away and for it to be at SB and 10 minutes away would be a perfect mix.
It was only the 'crime to miss it' thing that made me chime in tbh... I have no issue with anyone wanting tickets to a game and appreciate not everyone can be local and it costs a fortune to follow your team nowadays. It just came across like you felt entitled because you are local to the Bridge when tickets to the match are going to be in huge demand and most will sadly miss out.
Yes I think I went too dramatic with the way I said it. I will go to the ground if i dont manage to get a ticket here.
Did you end up getting yourself sorted mate?
Haha, that's my thinking as well unless you owe someone a favour.
Unfortunately I've only got spares for the Cup Final and City away at the moment... if anything comes up for Bournemouth though, I'll let you know!
No-one is taking the piss out of anyone asking for home match tickets in fairness, people just had a little laugh at the idea of having Chelsea away "spares" or Wembley cup final "spares".
To even have a sniff of getting an away/cup final ticket direct from the club, you need to be a season ticket holder opted into the automatic cup scheme which, minimum, will set you back about a grand over the season. Some people then take offence to other people asking for these tickets.
Calm down - Hardly 'having a go', just poking fun at the exceedingly optimistic Cup final ticket requests.
Was that a swap deal mate? (As in did i sort you one back?).Haha, that's my thinking as well unless you owe someone a favour.
P.S. I hope you don't think I have no friends for sorting you that Liverpool home brief all those years ago.. I made sure they were all sorted first!
No I think we just ended up with one spare between us and I gave it to you as you asked in here IIRC.
As if i got a Liverpool in here after saying that 3 posts ago
