Nice. For people who've used these (or similar services) in the past, what's the useability of this service? How frequent are these buses and how easy/difficult is it to get these to go to Picadilly?

They usually have about 8 busses ready to go. I've never not made one of them despite sticking around and clapping players off etc. They used to do one drop near Deansgate Locks then direct to Piccadilly, would assume it would be the same.

Still after these tickets, doesn't have be together, but much more prefered.
 
Sons first time at OT tomorrow and I know he will want to try and get a signature etc like they all do. Where is the best place to catch the players pre or post game? Don't mind waiting, don't care about how long it takes etc but any advice would be greatly appreciated - I didn't know if he had any chance or they would just usher them to the bus.

Are you able to go down to the sides at HT and get the subs signatures etc too does anyone know?

Thanks in advance

Read that they’ll go back to putting on 15 buses - all lined up and essentially just leave as each one gets full.

I used them all the time - much quicker than the tram

Go under the tunnel about 2-3 hours before the game and they’ll be barriers there and it’s just a waiting game . Some may sign autographs some won’t . It’s the same after the game . There isn’t much interaction from subs to be honest . It’s probably a safety issue though.

It will be much earlier i would think, i took my daughter to her first game (fulham) in august

We got to the barriers between 4:15-4:30 and players were already inside the stadium, after the game our exit was about 20 metres from the barriers so we were there reslly quick and there was already hundreds of people 2-3 deep waiting, got chatting to a couple with a girl of similar age and they had left the game at 85 minutes to go down and wait

They let my daughter stand at the barrier and she ended up getting de Ligt, van Nistelrooy and Martinez to sign her hat and got a selfie with Mason Mount

She loved seeing the players up close, it was just before midnight by the time everyone had left, if you get a spot for your little one you’ll spend the whole night with grown men basically trying to climb over them so they can get a shirt or something signed with the view to selling it, they’re like vultures, players signing stuff should be all about the kids

If you go on the United website you can get these. They are however charging £299 per ticket for the privilege! Hope this helps.

Thanks bro, that's way over our budget.

Probably have to try those ticket webistes now :(
 
Single seat in N3406 for Southampton game I cant' make last minute. Send me DM with offer if you need a ticket?
 
A reminder for those shifting tickets you'll need to transfer by 5/6pm before the turnstiles open and the option gets turned off.

Still no word on a confirmed date and time for the FA Cup fourth round game :o

Yep, there’s probably a lot of juggling going on as it’s quite a busy weekend for terrestrial broadcaster with the Rugby and now the usual Saturday night rubbish starting.

I reckon we’ll be a Saturday late evening but that’s just a guess looking at the other ties!
 
I have a single in North stand tier 1. Great seat, about 5 seats away from executive section, block 405. FV £56, will take £40 from a member.
Edit: this has now gone, and is no longer available

I had booked my flights from Dublin immediately after the Arsenal game for the Saturday. They were cheap (relatively) so not a big loss. I'm not coming over now as there are no late flights back on the Friday so I'd need a hotel etc.

Any good day trip things to do near Manchester instead on the Saturday!? Trip to Scholes gym maybe.

Football museum is mint. Check out the restaurants/bars on Castlefield and have a walk down the river. Old Trafford tour if you've never done it?
 
Does anyone know the story with E138 row SS. I've got 2 tickets, one of them being seat 19 but according to maps etc there is no 19? The wife got them and says she can't recall the map when she got them

There's loads of ghost seats at OT. You'll be fine.
