[Albion] Man United away tickets

[PeterT]

I’m actually up in that neck of the woods anyway that weekend. Especially now that it’s an early kick off, what are our chances of getting a couple of tickets for this game in the members priority sale? I am thinking that the kick off time and stupid o’clock departure time might put a few off, but maybe not …

There are some options to go under cover in the home end in the hospitality seats but they start at around £200pp so probably not quite that keen to go at that price!

 

[Superphil]

Well the two tickets I would have bought will now be available due to the change in KO time so you may well be in luck.

Really depends on whether the club take the full 3,000 allocation.
The week before Christmas combined with an early kick off may mean that they go for a lesser amount, thereby reducing your chances.

This……..if they take the full 3k you’ll be fine I would think, but they seem to be using some kind of random number generator to decide on numbers so who knows……….

I doubt we'll take the full allocation as the club will be aware many won't go because it's the last Saturday before xmas, early kick off and it's on tv. That said, if it's like Liverpool it will at least go down to STH.

Surely fill our 3k allocation at OT based on recent away match threads. Even I could fill up a car with irregulars and they’ve just got Amex history. Just hope club communicate allocation.

 

[nwgull]

With the area given to away fans at OT being in the corner, I'm not sure that there's scope to reduce the allocation and give those tickets to home fans in the same way as somewhere like Anfield or the Amex where they can move segregation across the columns of seats as required. And I reckon we'll easily fill 3K anyway.

Old Trafford always seems to be a popular one, so I'd reckon it would sell out at the all-STH level.

 

[AnotherArch]

At least two of the Premier League games at OT went down as far as Members. The FA Cup game was open season - but that was due to another awful kick-off time.

 

[The Kid Frankie]

Given the club has taken reduced allocations twice so far this season I bet they do the same with this one with no explanation. Joke

Maybe if you haven't been before. Old Trafford may be an iconic stadium, but the away fan experience isn't great, especially the bit, where they turn the P.A on really loud aimed at the away end, to try and drown out the singing pre-match. Whenever I look down the fixtures, I never spend too long thinking about Man Utd or Everton Away.

I won't be going there again

Dated ground, cramped stands, small concourse, awful traffic in and out and the atmosphere isn’t all that either. Me neither.

 

[Official Old Man]

I'm out. 12:30 KO means leaving home about 5:30am, and that's not going to happen.
But as mentioned, early KO and on TV means the club will only take 1500 tickets and thus still blocking those without history getting to a game.

One of the worst and over rated grounds ever.
Miles from town and the away end has tiny little concourses.
This and Everton are bottom of the pile IMHO

I’ve only been there as a neutral before, or to see England when Wembley was being re-built. I had decent seats then to be fair, in terms of the view, but it helps in terms of comfort if your legs are on the short side of short. Those seats are not actually designed to be sat in for any length of time!

Plenty of grounds built since then make Old Trafford look scruffy and dated.

Have to agree, although I will be going as this is probably our best chance of getting something there.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

I treat grounds/locations like OT and Goodison Park more for nostalgia than comfort. OT has always had a railway line one side and a canal the other side so expansion squeezed upwards.

 

[patchamalbion]

I just like watching Brighton play with mates rather than worry about the concourse size……must be in the minority these days

 

[Is it PotG?]

As mentioned, it's a much overrated experience in an old, dated and cramped Everton-like place.

Hotel and restaurant booked, here we come......
