Long-time supporter (30 years) but only just became an official Member this year — already got lucky in the ballot for the City derby on the 13th, buzzing for that.
Question for anyone who's been through this before: if United draw a home fixture for Champions League Matchday 1 (Sept 8–10), how soon after the Aug 27 draw does the club usually open ballot applications for members? Trying to plan international travel around it as I live in Canada and am flying in for the game(s) and the turnaround is tight — only about 2 weeks between the draw and kickoff.
Anyone had experience with a similarly short-notice ballot? Would appreciate any insight on typical timing.
