The Red Army and The Field of Dreams

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Acquiring  Manchester United tickets for a home game not only lets you to see one of the most exciting clubs in Europe play live, but also lets you experience the atmosphere at Old Trafford, also known as the Field of Dreams, home ground of the Red Devils, parade ground for the Red Army.

  Apart from 8 years after it was bombed out during WWII, Manchester United tickets for home games at Old Trafford have been bought by fans since 1910.

The name Field of Dreams was bestowed upon the stadium by Bobby Charlton, one of the Club’s best known players.  

In 1966, Sir Robert “Bobby” Charlton, won the World Cup and was also named European Footballer of the year, in part because of his famous midfield attacks and his ferocious long-range shots.

Seating 76,212 Manchester United ticket buying fans Old Trafford is one of the largest of any English football stadiums, and it is one of only two stadia in England to have been given a  “UEFA elite stadium” five-star rating by UEFA.

As a neutral venue, Old Trafford has hosted many FA Cup semi-final matches and a number of  “English national football team” England international fixtures.

During the  “1966 FIFA World Cup”   and  “UEFA Euro 1996″  and the  “2003 UEFA Champions League Final”  matches were also played at Old Trafford.

The Old Trafford playing field is surrounded by stands, officially known as the North, East, South and West Stands.

Each of the stands has a minimum of two tiers, except the South Stand, which, because of construction restrictions has just one.

The lower tier of each stand is split into Lower and Upper sections, the Lower sections having been converted from standing room only terraces in the early 1990s.

The most well-known stand at Old Trafford is the West Stand, more famously, known as the  Stretford End.

Originally designed to hold 20,000 fans, the Stretford End was the last stand to be covered and also the last remaining all-terraced stand at the ground before the forced upgrade to seating in the early 1990s.

Stretford End is home to Manchester United’s most die-hard supporters, known as The Red Army.

Much of the noise and atmosphere at Old Trafford emanates from this stand, and the roar from the Red Army there was once measured as louder than the roar of a jumbo jet lifting off. 

Unless you’ve been subscribing to your season Manchester United ticket for many years  it is impossible to get a seat in the Stretford End, even for the most die-hard fan.

Manchester United’s fan’s, better known as the Red Army was once the biggest and most notorious group of followers British football has ever seen.

When the Red Army followed Manchester United to an away game, the town would fall into chaos: large numbers of fhe Red Army would travel en-mass by train, coach, car or even by foot if necessary, doing whatever it took to get to the game.  

During the mid-seventies when Manchester United had been relegated from the top flight of English football and played in the  “Football League Second Division” Second Division for one season, the Red Army caused such chaos at games around the country when visiting stadiums where they would often outnumber the home fans, that it led to the introduction of segregation and fencing between of home and away fans at football grounds throughout England.

These days, the Red Army is quite different to what it was in the 1970’s & 80’s.

This Manchester United supporters club, now has a fan base of over 300 million fans across the world.

The vast numbers of Manchester United fans, all of whom would like to visit the Field of Dreams, both to see the game and to experience the atmosphere there, result in it almost always being difficult to buy Manchester United Tickets.

When Does Manchester United Start Selling Tickets?

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Manchester United tickets are some of the most prized football tickets for Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League matches.

The team gives priority to its One United fan club members for home games by letting them apply for tickets in a lottery. Lottery entries usually have to arrive 4-6 weeks before game-day and winning tickets will be mailed out (fans in other countries might have to pick up their tickets from the box office on game day). For some games, (e.g. Champions League matches), applications might have to be  received closer to game day. The easiest way to know when deadlines to apply for tickets are getting near, is to subscribe to the One United newsletter. Because home games do not usually go on sale to t the general public, so becoming a member of One United and entering the lottery are your best bet to get tickets for a particular game.

Manchester United gives priority to its season ticket holders for away games. The allocation that Manchester United receives from the host team is usually only several thousand tickets and demand is generally much greater so One United members and the general public generally don’t have an chance to buy these tickets. Alternatively tickets can be bought directly from the host team, but that would put your seat in the home team fans section. Tickets for the most popular games at Liverpool. Chelsea, Arsenal or for the local derby at Manchester City are hardest to come by, but your chances of success are much greater when Manchester United plays at some of the less popular Premier League teams. You might have the best chance to see Manchester United play an away game during the Group Stage of the Champions League. Checking the respective team’s website will give you accurate information about ticket sale dates.

Manchester United is one of the most popular teams playing today so getting tickets for most games will be a challenge. Although careful planning is essential, it is still no guarantee that you will be able to get tickets. If all other methods are unsuccessful, there are many brokers who sell Manchester United tickets, but usually at prices that are significantly higher than their face value.

The Real Cost of Buying Season Manchester United Tickets

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

The demand for Manchester United Tickets is almost always greater than the supply.

For many fans being able to purchase a ticket to even a single game at Old Trafford is so difficult that the thought of ever scoring a season ticket to see Manchester United play seems unbelievable.

However, if one looks more closely, the obvious advantages season ticket holders have of being guaranteed a seat for all home games and priority for away games, might be outweighed by the disadvantages.

Some examples:
A season ticket holder is not guaranteed a seat in his choice of stand, and if allocated one in an area he does not like the only way to get it changed is to prove exceptional medial hardship.

As a result of this policy, there are those who don’t renew their tickets at the end of the season, preferring to take their chances in the search for single tickets that may be in a better part of Old Trafford.

There is a Manchester United Club policy named the Automatic Ticket Scheme ensuring that every season ticket holder is guaranteed a ticket for all Champions League and FA cup home games.

Initially this might appear to be a positive thing, however the season ticket holder is charged for each of these tickets even if he has no cannot go to one or any of the  games.

In the 2006/2007and 2007/2008 seasons, there were 10 of these extra games – and with a ticket to each game starting at almost 50 pounds, this is a significant extra cost on top of the price already paid for season ticket.

Any Manchester United fan who purchases a  season ticket thinking they can offload tickets to games they can’t attend might find that that is more difficult than anticipated.

Manchester United has an sanctioned ticket exchange where season ticket holders can put up their unwanted tickets for sale, but tickets cannot be posted there until the club announces that the game in question has been sold out.

There is no guarantee that the tickets put up for sale will sell, and the prospective seller then not only loses the ticket he is unable to use, he is out the substantial listing and handling fee it cost him to try to sell the seat.

One cannot deny that the price of a season’s 16 single tickets is more expensive than a season ticket, but when the other costs – at least 500 extra pounds for the Cup games; the possibility of getting a seat in an undesirable part of Old Trafford; and the lack of guarantee of being able to sell any unwanted game tickets are added up, investing in season Manchester United tickets might not be worth it to even the most loyal fans.
