They will be far more interested in firing rubber bullets at you over checking the name on your ticket if my experience of following Utd in Portugal is anything to go by.

My experience of Portugal is that it's one of the more civilised countries to watch United. Don't tend to hold us back after a game.
Chelsea ballot results out today.. How did we get on?
I got sorted anyhow, just hope the team does by then or it'll be another drubbing...

3 Pairs going spare for this (6 tickets) in Stretford End Tier 2
Yeh just realised there's a link to "download ticket" on the email. It's not obvious at all, don't make it easy do they. Are you gonna take passport with you then? It's bloody daft if you do need it. Like I've got a picture of it and will have my hard copy of drivers license if they really wanna know who I am which if you were using in a bar (not that they check anywhere in Europe even if you looked 12) you could use your driving license
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.
You can, if you’re sending to a forwarding membership you are told
I have my ticket and my name isn’t on it. Absolute zero chance I’m bringing my passport to the stadium
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
Fair enough mate it's just annoying to keep hold of when on the beer all day and walking about in a place u don't know
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.
Single for Porto available
In the away end?
This is nice and awful.
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.
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.
This is exactly the problem with getting rid of collections provided it’s an away end ticket
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

Ok, thanks for the tip!
Looking for a pair for Brentford. Have bought/sold on here before albeit a few seasons back.
I’m out there tomorrow without a ticket. Have DM’d. I’ll take a risk with the ID spot check issue.
Hello, anyone selling a pair or 2 singles vs chelsea?
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
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.I used it last season and it worked really well. It’s paywalled behind a monthly subscription now though.

Coming out to Porto tomorrow. Can you please clear the fog before then?
Sat at Málaga airport flight delay of an hour. Hopefully only an hour. Up the Porto reds
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
Did anyone not get a ballot email re West Ham away despite applying?
