How Can I Tell What Kind of Manchester United Tickets I Should Buy?

Red Devils fans all dream about getting hold of Manchester United football tickets. A first visit to Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United since 1910, is an unforgettable experience for any fan. The stadium (nicknamed “The Theatre of Dreams” by Bobby Charlton) is the second largest football stadium in England after Wembley Stadium, with a capacity of 76,212.

It is not easy to buy Manchester United Football tickets because of their huge following and ticket demands are always much higher than the supply. Every member of the One United fan club is allowed to apply for tickets through a lottery, giving every member who applies the same chance to win match tickets. Ticket brokers or ticket agencies offer an alternative to those fans who do not win tickets in the One United lottery.

Where is the best place to sit in the Manchester United Stadium? Where one chooses to sit depends on the experience wanted. Some believe the best atmosphere is on the West Stand (Stretford End) where the most passionate fans cheer on their beloved team.  This is the section in which to be in if you are interested in singing and cheering on the team for the entire game. The opposite end, (East Stand) hosts the visiting fans so it is a little quieter and less popular among Manchester United fans.

If you prefer to be seated along the side of the pitch, the North and South stands are the best places for you to sit. The South Stand is much smaller than the North Stand and so provides a more intimate experience – coaches and players are also located in this stand. This is also the stand in which visiting VIPs and the media are hosted. Standing three tiers tall and holding about 26,000 spectators, the North Stand provides a different experience. Including the Red Café, a Manchester United theme restaurant and bar, it has much newer facilities. The North Stand is popular, but if you are seated on the 3rd level {section starting with the number 4}, you are seated a good distance from the pitch. In addition, in order to reach your section in the 3rd level, you’ll have to climb many stairs.

Visiting the museum during an educational tour of the stadium (offered on non-match days only), provides a nice trip down memory lane that no Red Devil fan should miss.
