All questions and info on membership in this thread

[Drew9]

:)when u have a membership how soon can u apply for the tickets you want ? and whats the chances you'll get them ?:confused: :)

[burnzy1987]

they post the dates you can apply for tickets on the website.
All games are oversubscribed so they hold a bollot (like names outa the hat)

Not very likely in my opinion, iv applied for three quarters of games this season and got nothing through the ballot!!!...

in my opinion when you become a one united member you pay for the use of the ticket exchange.

[antdevil78]

ballots dont seem too bad. i have applied for about 8 (the others i have missed the deadline) and got tickets for two. One way is to join your local members club (addresses in yearbook that comes with your One United membeship). They have tickets available regular.

This season will be a probable no-no as all the glory hunters come out of the woodwork to have bragging rights that "They were there when...."

[Drew9]

so do you think it worth getting one for next season ? will it benifit me to see more games in your opinion ? :)

[burnzy1987]

its worth 28 quid, even though i have been unlucky in the ballots, i can still use the ticket exchange.

so yes:)

[Drew9]

great thanks a lot :D

[Stephen]

its worth 28 quid, even though i have been unlucky in the ballots, i can still use the ticket exchange.

so yes:)
Really?

Don't think it's worth anything near £30.

You can easily pick up spares for all home games (bar the 4) anyway :s

Yeah suppose. Good luck with the season ticket.

You went Liverpool, you get a ticket in ballot?

[antdevil78]

so do you think it worth getting one for next season ? will it benifit me to see more games in your opinion ? :)

definately. cant get ticket yourself without it and General sale tickets are rare and damn expensive.

Main routes for tickets are ballots, viagogo and members club.

Where bouts are you and I can give you details of nearest club

[burnzy1987]

Yeah suppose. Good luck with the season ticket.

You went Liverpool, you get a ticket in ballot?


lol, did i heck!!....

my gf grandad been s st holder since '66.......i went with him....in the executive suite!!....brilliant!!!!!.....was in south stand with prawn sandwich brigade!.....

even in south stand awesome atmosphere, i worked out, 50% real fans 50% idiots...

lets hope i get a ticket in the ballot for roma coz there is no ticket exchange for it for some reason??!!???

whats that all about??

EDIT-thanks for the luck with the st mate....even though i will be on my own!!! lmao!

I've been to 8 games this season (7 Premier League, 1 FA Cup) and I got 6 of my tickets in the ballot, the other 2 on the ticket exchange.

The only games I applied for that I couldn't tickets for were Chelsea in the league and Arsenal in the FA Cup.

So I think the One United membership is worth getting.

[Drew9]

i dont understand how this ticket exchange thing works ? can anyone explain ?

Season ticket holders and One United members can sign up to the Manchester United Ticket Exchange.

Season ticket holders can sell their tickets for games they can not attend and One United members can buy them.

The cost of the ticket is the ticket price + admin fee + delivery charge + credit card surcharge so for e.g. a £38 ticket can cost you around £51.

The good thing about the exchange is that you can more or less choose where you want to sit as there are often at least a few hundred tickets available.

I can add that there will rarely be tickets for the big 4 games (City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal), so you haveto be very quick.

You have some amount of luck there Dwarfy. Ive been stiffed to many times
to recall.

[jd_united]

Before I got my ST i used to be a One United member and used to be fairly lucky in the ballot. In the space of about 3/4 seasons, I had seen United play Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid and lots of other Premiership and Champions League games.

I think it has become harder to get tickets in the ballot now though as the number of ST holders has increased. Viagogo ticket exchange is in theory a good idea, but the price is a bit steep. Cough legalised ticket touting cough :rolleyes: :mad:

[Drew9]

in the ticket exchange once you have become a one united member, isit possible to enter the exchange for away tickets ?
somebody fill us in with the info thanks :):cool:


Edit. Merged with your other thread asking the same sort of questions.

No, only tickets for home games are put up on the Ticket Exchange.

That's because season ticket holders have to apply for away tickets and these are always oversubscribed.

If you're not a season ticket holder the only way you can get tickets for away games is to either sit with the home fans (which I've done a couple of times but is not recommended) or see if anyone has any spares.

[abojodeh]

can any home ticket be exchanged to another one
and you pay the diffrence

[reddwarf]

Tickets are only put up for sale on the exchange, you can not swap them.

[Drew9]

thanks :)

[Stephen]

Although, that is easy enough to do via forums.

[Drew9]

isit extra money to join the ticket exchange or isit automatic when becoming a one united member ? sorry for the continuous questions lol

[reddwarf]

You have to be a One United member to register with the ticket exchange (you need to enter your membership number when registering) but you do not have to pay any money to register.

[reddwarf]

isnt the season ticket cheaper ?

I think the price per ticket for season ticket holders is the same that One United members pay for tickets they get in the ballot but One United members have to pay a small admin fee (a £38 ticket costs £39 and a few pence).

However, tickets bought on the ticket exchange are much more expensive because of all the add-ons. They charge an extortionate admin fee. You have to pay by credit card and they charge you a credit card surcharge. If you're based in the UK they deliver the ticket to your address and you have to pay the delivery fee. However, if you're based outside the UK or you order too close to the game for them to mail the ticket to you you have to collect it before the game so they refund the delivery fee.

[Drew9]

cheers dwarfy once again :D what games you been to this year ?

[reddwarf]

v Derby won 4-1
v Everton won 2-1
v Newcastle won 6-0
v Bolton won 2-0

If you have a membership this year then you will get an automatic renewal form through the post. You can send it back instantly. Last year was from June the 1st.

but i havent had one this season stephen, so when could i apply for next season mate ?
thanks for the help pal

[reddwarf]

So we've convinced you to become a One United member, eh Drew? Good man! :)

The only info I can find at the mo is that membership sales are closed until the end of the season but you can register your interest in applying for next season by ringing 0870 4421994.

They'll probably know the date they're going back on sale but since it's an 0870 number you may just want to wait until there's an announcement on the website.

yeah i've been thinking of doing it for a few seasons now :) if you get any more info dwarfy let us know please mate :D
are you going down to the bridge tomorrow mate ?

[real_fan]

i advise you that you apply for all games and not just the ones you can make

more chance of getting them etc...

not a chance in hell of getting liverpool, city, etc.... :(

[Drew9]

yeah i didnt expect to be getting tickets for them games still it will give me more of a chance at getting there more often :)

[real_fan]

yeah i didnt expect to be getting tickets for them games still it will give me more of a chance at getting there more often :)


yeah deffinatly

although my mate has applied for everygame and only got derby i dont think its done fairly haha

ever considered getting an ST but selling it for the games you cant make, so your getting money back

[Drew9]

yeah have considerd it actually, im even considering buying my friends league matches and leaving him still with the cup matches which is what he wants ... but considering my travel aswell it would be very exspensive considering im just an apprentice with only two days a week at work and 2 and a half days at college, still like i said if i get to more games i'll be pleased, are you a one united member then ?

[reddwarf]

are you going down to the bridge tomorrow mate ?

Nah, I've only ever been to a couple of away matches.

I'll be getting royally plastered down the local with a few mates during the game :D

real fan's right unfortunately. The only matches I tried but couldn't get tickets for this season were Chelsea, Arsenal and Barcelona. I didn't even bother applying for City or Liverpool. Although I'm still waiting to find out if I can get a ticket for the West Ham game.

It's still worth giving it a go though because I managed to get a ticket for the semi against AC Milan last season through the ballot. :)

[Drew9]

yeah just gota be lucky i spose, i could of gone tomorrow unfortunatly i would have had to sit in the home end with chelski :| i chose against the idea as you can imagine lol

[real_fan]

yeah just gota be lucky i spose, i could of gone tomorrow unfortunatly i would have had to sit in the home end with chelski :| i chose against the idea as you can imagine lol

yeah ive sat in the home end before when we played away to

boro last year in the league, its not a good thing to do, better off in the pub :D

[Drew9]

indeed :D cant wait though

[reddwarf]

yeah just gota be lucky i spose, i could of gone tomorrow unfortunatly i would have had to sit in the home end with chelski :| i chose against the idea as you can imagine lol

I sat in the home end at Goodison Park with my dad and older brother when I was a kid. United scored 3 and every time I jumped up to cheer and every time my dad and brother pulled me back down and told me to be quiet.

I was too young and naive to realise I was putting my family in mortal danger! :o

[Drew9]

lol, the only games i've been in an away end was watford a few times ( i live quite near ) i couldnt sit in the chelsea end tomorrow especially if they win (they wont :D)

[fazman]

You know the answer to this dont go in the away end

[Drew9]

jst wondering if anyones got any more news on the membership front guys ?

[fortapache1]

Hi all,if anyone anywhere is not renewing for 08/09,please contact me on here.Genuine red,dont like prawns.Regards and thank you.Karl in Oldham

[burnzy1987]

wrong section??

just phone the ticket office and get on the "waiting list", from what iv been reading on the net thousands haven't renewed so you could have a choice of stand and have it in your own name.

[stretty]

thats right burnzy , i have heard the same lots of reds are not renewing so just phone up and you will get one .
this 8 to 10 year waiting list is pure rubbish , a lot of mates have got one last season and the season before , most of this is scaremongering to get fans to renew , if the truth be known most people could have one if they could afford it here lies the problem the cost , mine just gone up another £30

[68LUHG9908]

my mate is selling one in k stand 494 quid.

the waiting list is basically a list they put you on for a week or so. then give you one !

my ticket was 495 before glazer its now 686 plus the stupid ACS which is criminal.

you will get a season ticket easy, they went on general sale last year up until the 3rd home game in !

[stretty]

it will not be long before united price their own fans out of the game just like the londoners have done

[burnzy1987]

iv been on the imaginary list since feb.
waiting for them to get back to me coz every time i phone the TO they fob me off...

thing is im probs only going too be able to afford east or west lower now so even tho loads are available im still scared i wont get one in the cheaper seats.....**fingers crossed**....do ya's think i will get lucky?

[jd_united]

As long as you have no real preferance about where you sit, I would say there is a very good chance of you gettting one. Become a One United member if you aren't already and then apply for one in your own name.

i think most of the stretford end lower have been renewed , thats where i sit , it is the cheapest and best seat.
the more expensive ones will be left and you will be lucky to get one of the lower and cheaper seats

[fortapache1]

Hi all,am on the waiting list already but no contact as yet.Thanks for all your help,much appreciated,will keep trying.Sorry for posting in wrong thread,am new to this but am learning.Cheers Karl.

[Stephen]

I'll reply here instead of by PM.

You have to wait until the season tickets renewal deadline is over (tomorrow I think), then if they offer one-years a renew then you'll have a further wait.
Last season season tickets were on sale up to the 3rd game in, so I wouldn't be suprised if something like that happened again. Apparently, 15000 aren't renewing - that could just be United not giving the renew option to one-years.

To get a ST in the Stretty will be tough. And you'll be quite lucky. You should get one in the family stand which is the stretty as well, but quadrants, tier 3 or east 2 are probably the most likely there will be places.

[fortapache1]

Cheers Stephen and all others for your advice.Will keep trying.

[burnzy1987]

bored of waiting!!!

they need to get their backsides in gear!!!!....

hope stephen is right and there is cheapo tickets such as lower stretty/east t2 available....there has to be or i will miss out

[Stephen]

To be fair, they need to sort out the full books renewals first.

Then if they offer 1year's the chance to renew.

Many more in the picking line before new season tickets.

[StevenMorrissey]

Live in London. After going to Old Trafford religiously in the late 70's and 80's, Family life and a hefty mortgage took hold and have just got it together to join myself and my 11 yr old son onto the membership scheme. If I apply for every home game [2 x tickets] how many games am I likely to get tickets for ?.

I hear the Charity shield might be easy to get tickets for ?
