That was easy.

Out of the tickets released/ still available they will have a separate allocation for the 210 on 0 credits?

So thinking they'll have the current tickets left plus 210, just checking how many is left for a friend on 0.

Another question if I logged in my account tomorrow at 9.55 and added a ticket to my basket it won't let me checkout because I already have a ticket and it won't let assign to my friend as his on 0 but if I waited until 10am (allowed 15 minutes in basket) with the ticket in my basket and assigned to him would it allow it to checkout?

This works and I've done it for friends. I'm expecting either the site to crash or a queue be put in place after Wednesdays mess though.

Seems like there might be some kind of release in the next 5min, not sure for what game though?
When you open the website it brings you to the queue..

I am very interested in three tickets to the match against Everton, are these still available? Both my son and my wife have birthdays around the game date, so there is no better birthday present than to fly over to Manchester (from Sweden) and watch The Reds. All three of us are of course members :)

A ticket release at 1:30 and you’ve to be on in and around maybe 45mins early to get on and then if it’s your turn before 1.30 you’re kicked out and back to the beginning . Worst ticketing scheme out there

Ticket release was 1pm wasn't it?
I was loaded in at about 12.30.

1.32 and I'm still at 4746!

Annoying as I want to get out on lunch, but no idea if this is coming up within 2mins or an hour :D

I believe it said you'd be assigned a random place in the queue regardless of what time you turned up before 1pm. Not that I disagree its a poor system but to save anyone thinking getting on early is increasing their odds. I've been through the queue since about quarter past but has barely been a sniff of non hospitality, handful of singles ive been too slow to grab.

The queues are always really inconsistent too.
You can sit on one number for 10mins, or it can suddenly whizz 75% in 20seconds.

Obviously this is more the former but it's 3521 now, so it'd feel awkward to leave for lunch now!

I logged in 15 mins before the sale and got in at 1.15pm. 15k before me in queue.
Wanted two got one but was lucky.

It’s basically a fifa type system.
Random drops whenever with no comms and when you get in the queue you are miles back wondering how so many others knew and you didn’t.

Anybody in a supporters club came across this?

United have said that if you are a member and then in a supporters club that you aren’t allowed to buy tickets off United directly anymore.

Effectively its a scam so that you have 2 buy 2 memberships one for supporters club and one for buying direct off United.

We’ve done this before and they said it was from the start of this season.

Just cost us a ticket for City

Something I believe was bought in at the beginning of the season but not communicated. A friend also got stung with the earlier in the campaign

Yes seems to be a new rule introduced this season. Very frustrating..

I applied through my supporters club for City but it was oversubscribed as expected so now I have no way of purchasing off the club directly should some become available

Yeah the 210 is separate, just checked and there are 650 left still so will be around 800 tomorrow. Hopefully the website doesn't shit itself I need to grab one for a mate too.

When you did it do you refresh your basket when it’s time? Or just assign it once it ticks past the hour

Both work, when you update an assignee the page is reloaded anyway.
I think I updated the assignee and then reloaded the page once it hit the time, last time I did it anyway.

There will be a queue and it’s implemented correctly on the United site, so the basket thing will be near pointless.

Unfortunately, it looks like you're right about this one. Mu57afa was kind enough to send me a private message after I asked, but as a die-hard United fan, I'm holding onto hope until the very end. Maybe there's someone out there with three extra tickets to the April 8th match? I'd even consider alternative dates if anyone has any spare tickets lying around.

Info for Barca away:

if your on zero credits make sure you’ve got passport to hand. You need to input passport number on pop up document to buy tickets.

Good luck guys

My (limited) understanding of this, is that it only affects the big 4/5 games.

I have had no problems getting tickets for other league games.

But any of the bigger sides at home, I got the red text warning about not being eligible!

You can make up flight details and then change them after . If you put down you were flying to Ukraine and then to Barcelona you’d still be allowed purchase . Same as passport number . Change it after if you have to. There’s no wrong answer
