I had a celebratory drink in my exec suite until around 6.40, walked to the ship canal past loads of stationary cars, crossed to the Lowry centre where I parked, paid £6 and drove straight out, was on the m602 motorway just after 7 and home 7.20 simple, no delay at all.

My third rejection, percentages getting higher so some have been lucky at least twice out of three

I know someone that's had 3/3
I'm in if the ticket is still available
Only got 1/3 myself, Swansea.
I have arranged for him to pick up a paper ticket on the day (if my replacement hasn't arrived in today's post). Where is the ticket office located at OT? Is it at the 'back' of the stadium? As in, down past the north stand? Just so I can give him decent directions
Ticket office is behind West stand opposite Red Cafe/Sir Alex statue
Still looking for Stoke ticket(s).
Can repay the favour for another away later in the season. I often get spares due to applying on normal ST & execs.
PM me if you can help me out.

Do you still have that ticket?
Looking to apply for CSKA away to get my credits up and running. I'm not intending to actually go to the game though (will cancel if I am successful). Does anyone know the likelihood of me being successful with 0 credits? Also, can I get penalised for applying for all 3 aways and cancelling if successful?
I know it's a long shot but I would be looking for one ticket against Spurs at home.
Anny help/idea is highly appreciated!

Moscow may be risky due to short notice and visa requirements/costs. Much easier than last year in Rostov but the warning is very few went there, some with 0 credits, others no chance, will need a number of points, guessing but probably more than 3
Reckon it'll be worth applying for them

I believe when we last played Moscow under LVG, everyone who applied for the away game got a ticket. The Russian visa requirements and cost will put people off going, never mind the potential for trouble.
If you were successful in the ballot and then cancelled your ticket, I think that prevents you from applying for any future away games this season. That may not still be the case, but pretty sure that is how it used to work. There has to be some deterrent to stop people applying with no intention of going, like you are considering.
Was that not only if you were successful but didn't turn up to the game without cancelling?

Behind North Stand surely, especially considering that's the stand you find the Red Cafe/Sir Alex statue
Pretty sure you don't get a credit for that.
haha, @Ober tan, you don't seriously think you can cheat the system like that? Everyone would do it.
If you cancel, you don't get a credit. As in, you don't get a fecking credit for time wasting
Thanks for that pal
You WILL get a ticket for CSKA. You will NOT get credits if you do not show your passport/visa at ticket office proving you flew to the country.
This is hilarious. Why are you bothering applying then? Do you not want to actually watch a team you claim to support in europe? Bizarre.
Bit of a long shot here folks, but if you don't ask you don't receive.
I have two season tickets in J Stand but have another pal tagging along for Benfica and CSKA game. If anyone has a spare going in J Stand or nearby can you please give me a shout.

It's a bit late but the late KO may still work. My nephew is visiting but is down south somewhere

I'm after a couple of tickets for today's game if anybody has any last minute issues and can't make it. PM me if available.
HELP? I've just realised that I've left my season ticket at our holiday home, which is to far now to travel back to. Will I be able to get a paper ticket on the day?
Panic over got to collect a paper ticket from the ticket office!
I've sent him a message mate so you can take his number off here.
Probably an obvious answer, but never relevant before now, as I've always opted out of League cup/Europa League for my years of season tickets....
This year I've stayed in for the league cup, and now that the first cup payment has come out I presume I can apply in away game ballots?
if I apply for a pair, would it have to be both myself and the other named season ticket holder who go? Would any ID collections be just for me, or for both of us?
I act as the focal point for the two tickets for any situations/issues for home games, is that the same for away?

Any spares available for the Everton game?
Couple of quick questions for season ticket holders and apologies in advance if they're stupid questions.
1) How do ST holders apply for away tickets?
2) If an ST holder is successful for tickets, can I (non ST holder) go in his place?
I have a mate who is a season ticket holder but never applies for away games, as he doesn't want to go for some reason. He's told me if I apply for him, any ticket he gets, I can have. So I'm just wondering if it's an easy process to apply and would it be a plausible idea?

If you have to collect, you will both have to show individual ID's to collect the tickets as they are issued against the ST holder. You can't collect a ticket that is applied for in another ST holders name
You can apply over the phone or online. In theory you could go using the ticket but if there are ID checks your mate could be in trouble. Also, United randomly select people to collect the ticket from the away ground. You have to show ID to collect. If your mate doesn't turn up he would be banned from applying for aways. If he decides to cancel the ticket once he gets the letter to say he has to collect, he will have to collect every away ticket he is successful for for 1 year.
Ta chap. Looks like the safest strategy is just applying myself here and there to be safe.
I can't remember what the odds are these days, but seem to be better? Maybe 1 in 4 rather than 1 in about 10 chances?
Robs spot on here but one thing i'm not so sure about. Dunno what he means by ID checks.
I have yet to see anyone in all my years going to aways being asked for ID at any ground which is then linked to the ticket.
Yeah sure ID for euro aways or if you get a letter to collect but never ever random ID checks.
If your doing anything criminal and caught (coke, damage to property, flares etc) then yes you will be removed and asked for ID and your ticket.
Any spare tickets for Everton game ?
I heard they were doing random ID checks inside the ground last season or the season before. I have not personally seen it myself.
Of course, there is nothing to stop you 'losing' your ticket once inside the ground if you are using someone else's.
I have my ST going spare for the Basel game on the 12th of September.
PM for details.
