Any trustworthy accounts you’d recommend?
I've just recently used a guy on here called ghanared, bought Chelsea and PAOK tickets off him. Fv and sent them straight away, he said he's got another paok ticket unless he's sold that since
Anyone have a spare ticket available for game on Sunday by any chance?
Any last minute singles or pairs for Spurs?
I am still looking for a pair for Chelsea.
I have a single available fv. Can easily sell it back to the club but would rather sell on here.
Just seen I missed your latest DM - apologies for that mate and good on you for dishing out all these tickets on here for FV.
Will hope to grab one off you later in the season.
Anyone pissed off about European away tickets is about to be exceedingly more pissed off.
Information being reported that they are going to do away with collection of tickets for Euro aways and they will be sent to applicants home addresses.
The number of people on maximum credits is going to sore in the next year or 2

Thanks a lot, ghanared. As my friend and I rarely get the chance to go to OT, we prefer to sit together or not go at all so will have to pass up your offer. Maybe another time!
It's digital tickets for Porto - no word on long term yet. It's not paper tickets to home addresses.
I know a lad who works at United who has all but confirmed that wheels are in motion to stop the collection points
Digital tickets is essentially the same as home delivery
Has to be down cost saving and headcuts in the departments.
if they do this then its just going to make it increasing difficult for people on less credits to get tickets as a gap will just form.
United need to put in measures such as requesting scan information at the away ground to see if the applicant actually turned up or a better weighted ballot by where only a percentage of each credits gets a ticket, (but in favour for people with more credits) for example 4-9 credits 75%, 1-3 credits 20%, 0 credits 5% . then if not all the tickets in upper credit bands get sold then they get filtered down.
No worries mate, sounds good.
Yes it does seem that way - people moaned when collections came in as it is a bit of a pain in the arse, but this makes playing the system far easier.
£34 for a credit for Fenerbache away - and you don't need to travel...
Problem with that is though mate. Everyone in certain credit bands will say they've earnt them credits. If I was on 9 credits I'd be absolutely fuming I missed out to someone with 1 credit. I know they've kinda done this on the 2,500 + tickets then 5% goes to 0 credits but that's a real minority
Doubt they'll ever send them to applicants home address. Too many problems with that, first of all tickets aren't usually available to the club until less than a week before the game. So how do they know you're at home to have your ticket? You could be already travelling before it arrives. Secondly if you don't update your home address, because why would you if you're never getting anything posted from utd? Some lucky bugger has a euro away ticket sent to his new house who so happens to be a red or knows someone who will take it.
Awful idea. there was nothing wrong with the collection system. Worked perfectly
How can the club not see this is such a bad idea?
Cos it saves them money and they probably couldn't care less about actual numbers through the door but rather all the tickets sell. Obviously ridiculous and hopefully we can fight the club to change this to an alternative system. Unfortunately as someone said earlier about they need to check the tickets actually being scanned won't work because you're asking the other club to give the data back to utd which they'll just refuse to as it will all be on their system. Collection of the actual ticket would be the only way.
They probably see, they just don't care.
Because it’ll save them money, which appears to be INEOS’ main objective currently with the Glazers and Woodward having spaffed their load in terms of money over the past 15 years
They’ve done it in the past.
Not saying that means anything but it could be an option. Not like they have to care once it’s been sent out.
The other option is an electronic version but that means other clubs abroad having the ability to scan it and some clubs just won’t have the funds or capability to do it.
I can also see MUSA getting involved at some point
understand what you are saying but if its properly weighted then their needs to be some form of acceptance. needs to be made fairer for everyone and not get to a point where people dont even have a chance to go. i have arsenal and leicester mates who just dont get a sniff of anything as all the old school have ridiculous amount of credits (Domestic and away) so no one new gets a chance.
people may need to accept they wont be going to all euro aways. i mean does anyone get to all 19 away league games? the ballot will work if managed properly but rewards loyalty as well.
Can’t make any night games for the forseeable. Pair available for PAOK, fv @ £31 a ticket
Based on this idea nobody would be able to book travel until three weeks or so before the game when the club has run the ballot.
My £60 Porto flights would currently be £296 and my £85 Istanbul flights would be £185. No thanks.
How quickly after they run the ballot are you informed if youve been successful or not for European aways?
Do they inform you by email I guess?
Do they inform you by email I guess?
Porto was the day the ballot closed, same as domestic aways.
Agreed, I feel I've earned the privilege of being able to book flights & hotels as soon as the draw is made knowing I'm guaranteed a ticket because of the number of credits I have.
Having said that, like with domestic aways people will apply even if they can't go and either sort a mate out who was chubbed or swap for another away with someone.
It’s a joke of a system. It looks like Jim is cost cutting again . Collection was a great system. Basically setting up a touting system while they’re trying to stop it in other ways. Very frustrating
Because they won’t have to pay 6-8 members of staff flights , accomodation , expenses and booking a hotel room to hand out tickets . They can email them for nothing and they don’t care who gets them as long as they’re sold.
They need to implement a system where non scanned tickets get penilised .
I am in a bit of a predicament now. Bought two tickets for Spurs, one under my membership and one for my wife under my friend’s membership (didn’t want to pay £35 membership fee for one game). I have tried logging into his account on her phone but it warns me that I won’t be able to use this or any future tickets on any other device, ever. The problem is I am going to Brentford game in 3 weeks with the same friend whose account I am trying to use now and not intending to bring my wife’s phone with me. 
Any way to solve this?

In your online (website, not app) United account, set up an "App Ticketing" relationship with your mates membership. After this, the second ticket should appear on your app - might need to close and reopen the app. Alternative is to set up your mates account on your wife's phone, then next week get your mate to call up the ticket office and say he's got a new phone so he needs to set up the app again.
Thanks mate, linking the accounts worked perfectly. I can see both tickets in my app now. You’re a life saver!
I'm 52 years old, was given a hand-made Utd badge and a footy by my uncle the day I was born. And now I'm standing outside Old Trafford for the first time in my life. Oh boy.
I'm not a member and I don't have my (British) passport as I'm being issued a new visa for abroad. Is there any way I can get a ticket for tomorrow anyway?

Those (members) looking for Spurs
https://tickets.manutd.com/en-GB/ev... hotspur/2024-9-29_16.30/old trafford?hallmap
Keep refreshing - it might keep saying sold out ... occasionally singles are popping up.
Managed to nab one - took a while though

Living out of the UK I'm utterly out of the loop re. getting tickets. Last time I made a game was when I took my son (a United fanatic since birth) to OT for the first time in Dec 2016 thanks to Sultan. He is a pro water polo player in Spain this season and will be in the UK to see my family over Christmas and would love to go to the Newcastle game. So how can I get him a couple of tickets? Is there any way to buy them if you aren't a season ticket holder?
I'm going to kill two birds with one stone here... (P.S. @Wibble, I see you are staff here - is there a way we can have a pinned post or similar in this thread to answer FAQs like you have both asked?)
Official options - Face value costs of tickets in the region of £30-£55 (excluding executive tickets)
Option 1 as a full/lite member (£40/£35 per adult)
With this membership you have the chance to buy tickets directly from the club when they go on sale. There are multiple sale points for each game, including start of season, randomly announced dates by the club and even on the week/day of the game. See post from @corno_mufc above saying they got one today for Spurs. Most of the time it takes a lot of work refreshing the site to pick up tickets using this method.
Option 2 as a forwarding member (£20 per adult)
With this membership, you can't buy tickets directly from the club but you can be forwarded them by other season ticket holders. For example, season ticket holders in this thread who need to get rid of a game. @Gums, there is a chance that a single ticket will pop up in this thread between now and the game tomorrow which you would be able to receive as a forwarding member. Same goes for you @Wibble, however I appreciate it is annoying having to pay for any type of membership when you only want to go to a one-off match...
Option 3 as a free member
There's not much you can do with this membership other than receive tickets from a season ticket holder, however there is a £10 charge by the club for this to happen which you should cover really as season ticket holders would much prefer to forward to paid members otherwise.
Unofficial options - Cost will fluctuate heavily based on popularity of the match
We don't endorse these options but you can try unofficial sites or someone outside the ground selling on matchday. You should definitely take care when considering these options as there are a lot of scammers out there. Safety measures would include using a credit card for an unofficial site as they offer buyer protection. If trying someone outside the ground, ask to be taken inside the ground by them with the ticket and you will pay them when inside.
Hope this helps!
That's an extremely helpful post. Thanks for putting in the time and effort. Appreciate it very much.
