Football tickets!

hey everyone

It's my boyfriend's birthday soon and he is an avid Man Utd fan.. I'd love to get him some Man U tickets but the system seems bizarre to me. I just cannot work out if they are only available to fan club members or if they are just plain sold out or what!
Could anyone who 'gets' it please help me?

Thanks
Leanne

    I've just asked my other half (he's a massive United fan) and he said the best thing to do is phone the ticket office as they can tell you what they have got available and how to buy. Sorry I couldnt help on the website issue, I think you have to be a member to buy online which you have to pay for yearly x

    Try "Global Tickets". Choose option 3 for 4 course meal and free bar plus a stadium tour.

    You can get tickets from Ticketmaster iof you look on there it will tell you more .
    Also if he is a united fan does he know anyone holding a season ticket as he could use theirs if they are not going as alot of people do this that I know .

  • My mate who is a Birmingham City fan and a season ticket holder, gets my tickets for me, when I can go to games.

    Maybe if you have a friend that is a season ticket holder, could get some extra tickets or if there is an offer on like 'season ticket holders can get a ticket for a friend for £15 ' or something. I dunno if United have offer like that though, I know a few other teams do.

    You definitely don't get offers like that at Man Utd! ;)

    OP, which game do you want to go and see?
    Gone ... or have I?

    Ticketmaster just redirects you to the Man Utd website.

    I think they should, have at least similer deals, I think all teams should. Not many people can afford high ticketing prices. I dunno much about United, and there attendence stuff (I mean I only am intrested in a few teams attendence).

    Man Utd sell out for all home games. The only reason other clubs offer reduced price tickets is to get bums on seats - they are not doing it to be kind!
