You can, if you’re sending to a forwarding membership you are told

Not true - who told you this ?

you are probably getting confused with the new option of sending tickets to non-members (for an extra free)

As several people have already told you, there really isn't any extra risk over dealing with people who have a 'Forwarding Membership' over 'Full Membership' - no idea why you think there is some big difference
 
Can anyone vouch for a lad on twitter called Owen Murray, picture of him is a lad who looks about 15 at St Mary's in a Utd and Saints half and half scarf. Says it all really. Something seems off about him. Mainly retweeting all utd tweets and not much of his own tweets other than having Porto tickets today

I’ve got a chest pouch thing that I wear under a light hoodie for matches, so I’m gonna bring my passport in that.

Drivers licence is a decent shout though.

It comes up as you are sending it ( well it did last season) there is of course an extra risk if you are sending on randomnly without doing due diligence . as a poster has already mentioned you can get your ST cancelled.
 
For those who sell tickets on here, would you generally be more willing to sell to someone who has a forwarding membership?
 
Got another issue now with Brentford tickets. My mate has purchased a ticket for his cousin who has a forwarding membership, and he's not able to forward it to him - am I right in saying that forwarding membership only works for when you are trying to forward season tickets for single games rather than distribute tickets you purchased as a regular member?

What comes up exactly?

That risk is the same regardless if someone is a Full Member or has a Forwarding Membership - there is no major difference that I know of

Only season ticket holders can forward tickets.
 
Never had an issue with selling a ticket to someone on here, Sultan used had a google sheet or something for safe buyers/sellers but I can’t find it. Could start a new one again as there’s plenty of users on here I would vouch for.

Nail on head.

For yesterday I forwarded some of our tickets to family members of one of the season ticket holders. Am I feck going to ask them to buy £35-40 memberships for each person just for one game, so I created them free memberships and got them to cover the £10 forwarding fees for each ticket. Some people are even taking pictures of QR codes to avoid forwarding but I do expect United to close that loophole at some point.

As @Utd heap implies, it’s all about common sense with who you are forwarding to. If they can be trusted, free/forwarding membership should be fine and if not then insist it’s a full member to protect your ST.

It’s crazy to think about 3 years ago a STH was not allowed to pass on their ticket for even face value and would get done for doing so if caught.

Update to the OP with tips for safe selling to come soon hopefully!

I'm not sure if the policy around this has changed at all? I asked the club at the start of the season whether STHs are able to sell their tickets to friends/family (members) for face value or less as I am not able to make as many matches as possible this season. The guy at the ticket office said T&Cs state no but they understand that this can happen so as long as they are forwarded through the official process then it should be fine.

I recall an email going out to members who had received forwarded tickets from STHs asking them if they've paid above face value (think value was above £53 from memory) which contradicts what I was told slightly.

The major difference is full member is held accountable and forwarding membership the ST holder is held accountable.

So then I'm assuming that as a visitor to the UK hoping to be able to buy a ticket to a match on this forum, buying a full membership for £40 will increase the chances that someone will sell me a ticket?

Lite membership is the cheapest and best option

I don't think that is true - a tout can buy a full membership just as easily as a forwarding membership and if the club was to find out your ticket was eventually sold on at a higher price then you would lose your ST regardless

You just have to know who you are forwarding to
 
A few weeks ago, I put a message on this thread about a ‘Discord’ that sends you a notification whenever a United ticket goes up for sale on the website.

Anyway, I saw the lad again at the weekend and he told me that it is just called Seatify - https://www.seatify.co.uk/.

No idea how it works in reality but he assured me that it is useful as long as you respond to the notification fairly quickly

Please don’t shoot the messenger
 
Looking for a pair for Brentford. Have bought/sold on here before albeit a few seasons back.
 
Anyone in Porto? It’s fecking grim here at the moment , rain hasn’t stopped and most flights in are delayed 2 hours due to fog

Like I said if ticket is transferred to a One United membership it’s no longer his problem. You’re not losing it unless you’ve sold it on as a profit yourself.

I used it last season and it worked really well. It’s paywalled behind a monthly subscription now though.

Lovely bit of foreshadowing, eh :D My packed flight was supposed to leave at 18:55 and we’re still sat on it with no sign of a departure slot.

Trying to maintain the will to live but the worlds loudest man is bellowing out the latest flight radar app updates to the plane as if he works for Ryanair ffs.

Thanks for vouching for it. I was a tad dubious.

Coming out to Porto tomorrow. Can you please clear the fog before then?

Again this is not true in a case of touting - who told you this ?

Plus as I told you before, you have no idea what kind of membership anyone has anyway - it doesn't tell you when forwarding

Just applied for Fenerbache. I dropped to 2 credits this season so fingers crossed

It is true , I know because a ST holder (a mate of mine) got a phone call about it to let them know but as it was a Full membership he sent it to nothing happened. He sold it through Twitter .
 
If my Utd membership is associated with a supporters club, can I forward a match ticket to another member (not in the supporters club)?

For transparency, my brother in law (not really a football fan) wants to take his son to match next Feb/Mar. I was thinking that if he bought the cheapest memberships (ie. forwarding) that I could buy the tickets through my Club and forward to him.
 
Hey guys, very long shot, but if anyone’s flight got cancelled , I’m looking for a spare for the away end
