There are strikes planned so they won't release the timetable and tickets till the week leading up.I need some help. So I'm going to the Wolves match on the 13th. Am traveling from London to Manchester to attend. However, I can't seem to find any trains available. Would all the trains already be sold out or is the railway strikes I've read about affecting train availability or is there another reason? I am sleeping over in Manchester on the 13th so that's not an issue.
Intention is to take a train back to London on the 14th and there seems to be availability for that but not on Saturday the 13th. Hence me thinking trains must be sold out?
Bugger. At least there's still a chance but I will be in a pickle if trains aren't available for that day. I've setup a notification on Avanti for an alert. Which are the other major operators for London to Manchester?There are strikes planned so they won't release the timetable and tickets till the week leading up.
I went down to London at Christmas from Manchester and it was the same, think it ended up one train an hour instead of the usual three. Think if you go on the avanti website they email you the minute they get released.
Pretty sure it's just avanti on that particular line. There have been trains running on strike days before on that line but could always go up to Leeds and across as that's LNER.Bugger.

I take it bus is the only alternative if trains don't work out?
You might get a final ticket off a mate or relative for £300 but on resale sites you are going to be looking at nearer a grand, makes it worse being a derby. On the other hand looking at the City end criteria, if you are a member and been on a bus journey where you go passed the Emptyhad you are guaranteed a ticket, and you get a free inflatable banana to take into the ground !!Thanks for your replies.
Reasonable for me is around 300-400 max as this is a final.
But in general, if we can’t get tickets from Man Utd website, do you know which are the most reliable websites to buy a ticket for Man Utd games ? Stubhub ? Livefootballticket.com ?

Bus or fly if not.
Applications aren’t open until tomorrow, that’s probably whyAnyone having problems applying for final? I’m clicking apply and then it’s coming up error unable to find price selection
We hired a 7 seater for the semi, with fuel etc it came to about £35 a head.The strikes
Or hire a car.
I think most train companies are on strike on the 12th and 13th and as mentioned some services may run but it’s not a usually full timetable and might be for limited hours.
Sorted done itApplications aren’t open until tomorrow, that’s probably why
have one sorted for £400 so that takes sting out of itAll depends on the individual but you unless you're getting a ticket directly from one of the clubs or through a close friend, you aint getting one for under 700 quid.
absolute joke those prices , £70 section is what Iv gone forTickets seem a bit steep. £145 for Cat 1. £115 for both Cat 2 and the atmosphere section.
I was fairly far back for the Brighton game and was constantly being told to sit down by the guys behind me. I decided not to bother with that rubbish again, so went for the atmosphere section.absolute joke those prices , £70 section is what Iv gone for
Yh my bad, thought they went on sale from tomorrow but they are already there.Sorted done it
We’re going for Cat 2 as well, ridiculous as those seats were £65 for the semis.Tickets seem a bit steep. £145 for Cat 1. £115 for both Cat 2 and the atmosphere section.
Rang them up none of my details went through they only received my name and address, so had to cancel the application and now have to reapply for my ticket.Anyone been hit with the non instant decision on the credit for the season ticket done in it for years to instant approval and my credit rating is nearly perfect.
do I just sit here like a lemon for a decision?
They’ve confirmed we’re east side again so will be torch.Does anyone know when we find out which side we're allocated?
Praying for the Green Man as the torch is comparitively awful.
Happy days except for the bar in the town charging £10 to get in before the game for the semiThey’ve confirmed we’re east side again so will be torch.
Yeah I was surprised by this. Didn't expect such high prices. Hope the lads make it money well spent for us.We’re going for Cat 2 as well, ridiculous as those seats were £65 for the semis.
Been good luck for us so far. Good omen.They’ve confirmed we’re east side again so will be torch.

Not going this time, but it takes a good 55 minutes from exiting the stadium to making it back to Euston on a good day with no delays.Anyone getting the train to West Ham on Sunday reckon you’ll make the last one 21:49 back to Manchester after game? Will be cutting it close. If not, anyone going Leeds and willing to split a taxi.
Got the fast train from Stratford international to St Pancras last year I think, will just leg it after game and try thatNot going this time, but it takes a good 55 minutes from exiting the stadium to making it back to Euston on a good day with no delays.
There isn't one for the new West Ham ground really. Not much help I know.I am traveling to London for the West Ham v. United game next Sunday for my first away game. What location/bar is the typical meet-up point for United fans in London prior to this game?
Sorry if this is the wrong thread for asking this question.
Utd will be in all the pubs around the station. I'll edit this post with the one I was in last year once my mate reminds me the name of it - was decent in there.For those of you going to Brighton away what’s the plan for pre-match drinks? @Utd heap
