All ticket/travel information thread - 2024/25 edition - Ticket Purchasing FAQ in OP. Please read it and be careful purchasing tickets

Hi All,

Finally got my son to his first game, he seems to now be really keen to keep going.

Looking for Forest, Bournemouth, Newcastle tickets for his birthday/christmas - I can take upto 3 adults and 1 U16 all with memberships.

Alright troops, I stupidly ended up missing the ballot for the Spurs away game in the league cup. If anyone can’t make it and fancy punting the tickets, I’d be eternally grateful. Give me a shout if so. Thanks in advance :)
 
The ticketing system really isn't fit for purpose. Got kicked out on Friday after waiting in line for an hour for being 'a robot' despite having clicked all the bits before the queue started to prove I wasn't a robot. Anyway, from having a choice of tickets I ended up at the back of the queue and nothing was left when I got to the front again. It's rubbish. Considering every ticket needs to be assigned to a membership, I'm not sure how being a robot would have been to my advantage.
 
My brother and I are coming down for the Rangers game in January and staying in the quays overnight. Where is good to go beforehand for some beers and that?
Depends on your plans during the day.

Presuming you’re not from Manchester, I’d be looking to have a potter around the city centre during the day then go to somewhere like The Nags Head pre-game before getting the tram to the ground later.

Nice one. I was down for my stag do in June and had a brilliant weekend, but not down as often as I'd like. Will probably be arriving into the quays about 4ish.

Will have a look at going there, cheers.

The Quays has some good drinking spots - Lime Bar for example. My only word of warning is I have seen some away fans drink in there too and given Rangers will likely bring a big following I would expect some in there too. As per the suggestion above, Nags Head if you've got time to get to the City Centre - if not, United pubs near the ground (most ask to see your match ticket) are probably your best bet. Not that many good options these days but the Tollgate is decent.

I think town will be a shitshow because of all the supporters Rangers will bring. You’re better off heading out in the OT direction

Cheers. Been to the Tollgate before so will keep that in mind. If we are down in time think we will get into the centre, Nags head, Tollgate and then the game.

Unfortunately Lime bar is now a sushi restaurent. 11 Central round the corner is from it is pretty decent.
 
Single available for Forest and Newcastle. Let me know if you're interested.
 
Loads of tickets in the Stretford end 'atmosphere section" that was 'sold out' to members in last week's ticket drop now available at £299 a pop for Newcastle at home.

I've emailed the club asking about this total piss take - not for the first time.
I can confirm this, I got mine for 150 pounds on that section from a reselling site.
 
I am looking for 2 tickets for Everton at home (1st dec 24) and one for Arsenal away (5th dec 2024).

I am first time going to watch a Utd match. So would really appreciate if someone can guide which websites to buy authentic tickets from, worried about getting scammed.
 
Can somebody please tell me the best websites for ticket purchasing? Should be authentic please.

Man Utd official site for Everton , you won’t get 2 together . Arsenal I’d say forget about it and if you are offered an Arsenal away it’s probably a scam .

Every chance he gets a pair for Everton on here but appreciate when travelling from abroad you want the certainty.
 
So just checked the Official website, got myself signed up, I am able to get tickets for Everton but stands appear to be behind goal and upper tiers and 199 Pound per ticket, whereas for Europa league match, the tickets are very cheap and side stands near goal, which is a better option any advice?

Are you able to make the Europa game v Bodo? If so, I think if you can wait 24hours someone on here may have a pair available.

Certainly a good chance for you to get tickets for both Everton and that game.

Away games are impossible unless you pay silly prices or touts which we are not going to advise on here.

Yes i am travelling to London on Sunday morning for 2 weeks, so I can watch the Europa league Bodo match, Everton Home or Arsenal away. I can manage to two matches, the problem is i am coming for work assignment and my hotel is in London, will it be difficult to travel back from Manchester on weekdays? I know the question may sound stupid but i am a first time traveler. So not really sure.

Have 4 together in N3406 for Bodo if you need a pair!

Not a stupid question at all.

Travel back from Manchester on the same night to London will be tricky - not in a position to check for you at the minute but I'd have thought it will be to late for a train and a coach home would be time consuming and arrive in the early hours.

Hopefully you will get some other good advice on here otherwise I'll check the London Supporters coach details for you tomorrow.
 
Another potentially obvious question here but a considerate caffer has offered me a ticket to the Newcastle game in December. Would folk here suggest taking a picture of the ticket or sending the QR code, in terms of the best way to transfer it?

There is an official transfer method if you have a membership mate. The ticket will be sent over and be in your name - assuming the sender is legit etc.
 
Brilliant, will do that then - thank you for the very quick response, mate!

No problem - you will just need to access the ticket through the Utd app with a normal or lite membership, or via your Google/Apple wallet if you have a forwarding only membership (sounds more complicated than it is - you'll be fine!).

I think by the time the evening games finish (Bodo), the direct/quicker trains to London will be done. Theres a direct Euston to Piccadilly Dec 1st (Everton game), gets in 12.04, plenty of time to get to ground for 1.30 kickoff. Back 4.15. £106?

(Try Trainline or Trainsplit apps)

I know Utdheap has replied but fyi, I don’t think pictures of the tickets work.
 
Train prices are disgusting.
Ahuh, I go down to London a few times a year and if book we’ll in advance, can get quite a bit cheaper but if you’re anywhere near to the date, doubt if can get for under £90… the times I quoted are direct though (which I’d pay more for) so quite quick. About 2 1/2 hours.

Thanks again!
