Ive found it a lot more random since the £30 cap came in. I was successful quite regularly for Arsenal and Chelsea as I guess not many wanted to pay £65 a ticket. Since it’s gone to £30 I tend to get 2 or 3 aways a season.
im sure it won’t be a sell out given United are giving away free tickets to kids. He should be able to opt in … could be wrong though
That's good to hear. Tak til svensken!
You can opt in and out of the league cup on a game by game basis the others are compulsory.
That £30 is great in the premier league, yet there's no equivalent further down the leagues.
You don’t have to be a member
So I can just assign it to them or leave it in my name and they can use it?
I got an email today to say that I don’t have a ticket for the league cup game because I have opted out… even though I definitely have never opted out of any cup scheme ever. Going to call them in the morning and try and sort it out but it’s very strange.
I know that, but if you opt out you can't apply for finals so we need to know if it's possible to opt back in for this game as it was a mistake. Unsure if there is a cut off or something.
Yeah, same thing happened to him. Does it tell you on your United account that you've opted out?
I think either, or. Although leaving it in your name runs the risk of that person having ID checks carried out.
Cheers. Yeah it's just unnecessarily difficult I feel. I was going to pick up a pair of Villarreal tickets earlier as had some together but trying to see who fancies going so quickly to update it all there and then is hard work. My other mate still has his season ticket so he doesn't need one.
And all sold out by 10pm. Glad I saw your post when I did!
If I log in and look at “cup schemes” it shows me as opted in for the FA Cup and CL which is says are mandatory anyway… but nothing for the league cup. I can opt in again online but I want to speak to them to sort out West Ham and find out why they opted me out in the first place. I don’t want it to impact my ability to apply for away matches either.
Glad it helped.
Do you know the answer to the ticket question and memberships for others you want to get tickets for?
Will be interesting to see, as yesterday's set was basically most of one NE quadrant block but then random singles scattered throughout the ground.
So much for all the signing up to get notified of availability!
Never used sports break but them seats will be decent, can't go wrong anywhere in the lower tier. My favorite place to sit is Stretford End/ K stand lower
definately, I’m fairly local and my young lad would love to get to more games even if it’s early cup rounds, give me a shout!
That’s the plan, but if you’re under 65 you should pay to have the ticket upgraded to your age group. Apparently there’s a light system which alerts stewards on the other side of the turnstiles when a concessionary ticket is scanned and if you don’t look like you’re eligible to be using it they will stop you (it happened to my son when using his own ticket in his teens, he must’ve looked older than he was to whoever was checking).
Let me know how you get on, my brother can't call them until later today unfortunately.
Ticket office appears to be useless atm... they don't have capacity to take any calls so the automated line just asks you to email them at 'tickets@manutd.com'. I did that and got an auto reply saying that they are very busy and if the query is urgent, send them a text message with your query to 0161 850 3969. I sent a text and got another auto reply saying that a member of team will get back to me as soon as they can but it may take up to 3 days.
That's insane. And we all thought they had finally got their act together this season
I am wondering if the phones are packed because they've somehow opted loads of people out by mistake?OK thanks. So would they actually refuse entry? I've used the ticket a few times before it went digital and had no problems (I am 27 years old).
There’s an option on the ticket page, on the ticket holder’s account, which says ‘change price type’. That becomes clickable when a game is selected on the list and there’s a drop down with all ticket types listed. I’d assume that you’re then taken to the checkout when forwarding the ticket.
Ah didn't even realise that was a decision to make.
Yeah, could be a combination of that and loads of people wanting tickets now Ronaldo has returned.That's insane. And we all thought they had finally got their act together this season
I'm down to 4 Credits now so not sure how it'll go, the "desirable" aways often go to around 8 minmum normally but I guess less people would be willing to travel.
I’m at 6 , I don’t think European aways will be an issue with 4 credits.
The email address keeps bouncing back for us, is it definitely tickets@manutd.com?
