Man United Away Tickets - Change of seating location?
« on: March 09, 2012, 08:13:01 PM »
I see that these are on sale now for £39, and have heard from a Man U contact that we are being moved to NT3, the upper tier section at right angles to the Stretford End, pretty much on the diagonal from the existing away section. If true, a climb that beats even St James Park awaits.

The tickets have an health warning on them!

I think we sat there in the Cup game a few years back and the seats were fine.

£39? A snip when you consider what 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' are charging.

That's bad news as it takes us further away from the station.

What allocation have we got for this?

I am reliably informed that we have only asked for the initial 1700, the balancing 1300 having to be paid for in full, irrespective of whether we sell them or not.

Which is always the case and which is why I believe we have only taken initial allocations all season.

No, I went. Those were in East upper. These are in the third tier in the stand to the right of the old scoreboard end.

Surely if it's reduced, they'd just moved the netting to the right in the corner. I really can't see 1, 700 fans being moved to the upper tier, don't Manure have season ticket holders up there?

Villa Fans moved at Old Trafford

Read in the Observer today that Man U are thinking of moving the away fans and are trialling things with their game against us and seeing how it goes. Apparently we're in the Gods of the third tier of the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand.

How could moving the away fans that far away improve the atmosphere?

196 steps I've been told.  That's worse than Newcastle.  Can't wait...

Atmosphere? at Old Trafford?  At the moment the away fans at Old Trafford are a hindrance to be tolerated by the Prawn sandwich munching cockneys.  In addition if they move the away fans it gives them the chance to potentially increase the allocation as they can't sell out their own. 

If any gloryhunting United fan ever tells you he can't go because its impossible to get tickets it might be worth mentioing that if he rings the ticket office he'll be able to get one no problem they've been on general sale to I think all but 2 of Uniteds home games this season.  What I really like is how they try to make the adverts they put in the MEN as small as possible.  I just cut them out and put them on the Gloryhunters desk at work....
