Or

tbh you'll be lucky to get a ticket for Old Trafford for a premiership game.Best bet is a cup game but there are none in August.You could try an away game but that too will prob be a sell out.

Why would I be lucky to get a ticket ? Would they have sold out already?

Ive been asked to try and get a game when they are playing down south a bit so chelsea or arsenal could be a possibility.

No chance for away United games in the united end unless your a season ticket holder (at united) or prepared to pay £100.00 outside the ground on the day (dodgy)

Tickets are easily available at United games outside the ground on the day....just bring £50.00 with you and listen for "anyone selling tickets" or "tickets face value" being called on Matt Busby Way

You take your chance but you cant fail, there must be upwards of 500 tickets bought/sold outside the ground on match days....I have witnessed one guy flog about 20 at a time before as well as exec tickets before the game

If you get down onto sir matt busby way (while it is open to vehicles) on a Saturday (game k.o @ 15.00) for around 10.30am you can always get tickets from a tout....Have been offered v.i.p's (with meals and free booze) for as little as £75.00 for less important matches

Dont whatever you do take a wad of cash and try to barter with anyone, the sooner you can get rid of the cash and get ticket in hand the better....means little scallys cant pickpocket you in the crowds...

Good luck

Thanks for the info. Never thought it would be so hard to get tickets. Nothing is shown yet for that time of year so will try a bit nearer the time.

Not sold out but not on sale,thats why.

If you could wait cup games are your best bet as most people spend all their cash on season tickets and tend to leave some of the less glamourous cup games.

You could join the club for 2005/6 and enter the postal ballot for tickets. No guarantee you would get them though.

You could always try matchday hospitality. Not the same, but it gets you the ticket and a meal. Or there's always a hotel and ticket package.
