[Albion] Manchester United v Albion, Sat 17/3 @ 19:45, allocation: 5,500, ticket discount for STHs

£45 is savage. Too much. Assume it will be 15% capacity- we could sell that 3pm Saturday kick off, other times less likely. Savage.

£45 is a rip off. ManUre exploit their own fans for cup games, and away fans too.

If true, that will be a further deterrant to travel.

Old Trafford is a tourist attraction. They charge tourist prices

March 18th...my birthday. Revenge for 83 would be the perfect present. I hate man u with a passion. wanky arrogant club with wanky arrogant fans.

My birthday as well and ditto the rest.

Having done this fixture earlier in the season I have no great desire to put myself through it again. Old Trafford might be big but it certainly aint clever. I'll watch it in the pub

Come on, it’s the Fa Cup quarter final!

 

[theboybilly]

That's as maybe but I can't stand for too long so front row is my best option. If you went to OT earlier this season you may know just how tight the legroom is. I was in f***ing agony for 90 minutes. I get that folk will want to go and I seriously hope we fill our allocation but I will sit this one out with a pint in my hand. We are truly blessed with having the Amex as our home

Old Trafford this season was the game where I decided that this was my last following the Albion away from home. 6:30 am start and getting home some stupid late hour. Traffic chaos in Manchester, M6 holdups, M25 shut. Is it really worth it?
Yep, put me down for a ticket.
But, based on the big prem teams getting through, ours will be the longest journey so surely Sunday afternoon KO.
Meanwhile Sky have, sorry had, Spurs v Newcastle on Friday plus West Ham v Man United and Man City v Albion on super Sunday 18th March. Time to reschedule. Is it too late to move another PL game?

Monday 19th would be perfect for me that’s the start of my weeks holiday

 

[gruntage]

Let those that bothered with the Palace game have first dibs.

Manchester United ticket allocation?

Won’t be Friday as they have CL that week.

 

[crodonilson]

Tickets for th league game were like gold dust for an FA Cup quarter final demand will go through the roof, whatever they give us we will sell but due to the phenomenal support Man U get they could sell it twice over. I just hope every fan of ours gets the chance to witness the Theatre of Dreams in person.

 

[Beach Hut]

Really will depend on the timing of the game as to whether I go to Tourist FC

£45.
Same price as I'm paying to watch us vs Arsenal in a couple of weeks at the Amex.......

The allocation might be down to how United do it.

It might be a case of "9,000 are yours but you have to pay for them in advance" which would mean the club having to hand over £400k and hope the tickets sell. How much confidence will they have in shifting that many. I certainly wouldn't feel confident.

 

[The Rivet]

6,000 max Bozza and an option to go back for more.

Indeed they do:

"How was Derby's ticket allocation decided?
FA Cup rules state that visiting clubs have the right to claim up to 15% of all tickets provided, which at the 75,0000-capacity Old Trafford, is more than 11,000.

The away team has to pay for all of the tickets they ask for."
