Getting their hands on some Manchester United football tickets is something every fan of the Red Devils hopes for. No fan will ever forget their first visit to Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United since 1910. 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.
Buying Manchester United Football tickets is difficult because the team has a huge following and demand for tickets always outstrips supply. Fans who join the One United fan club can apply for tickets through a lottery which gives every member the same chance to obtain tickets for a match. If One United members are unsuccessful in the lottery, they can buy tickets in the secondary market from ticket brokers or ticket agencies.
Where is the best place to sit in Old Trafford? 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. If you are interested in singing and cheering on the team for the whole game, you will want to be in this section. The East Stand, at the opposite end, is quieter because it hosts the visiting fans, so is less favored by the Manchester United fans.
If you prefer to sit along the side of the pitch, the best options for you are the North and South Stands. Smaller than the North Stand, the South Stand hosts the players and coaches in its more intimate atmosphere. The South Stand also hosts many of the visiting VIPs that come to watch the game, as well as the media. On the other hand, the North Stand holds about 26,000 spectators and stands three tiers high. Because it is newer, it has more modern facilities including the Manchester United theme restaurant and bar. If you are sitting on the 3rd level of the popular North Stand, in the section starting with the number 4, you will be seeing the game from quite a ways from the action. In addition, in order to reach your section in the 3rd level, you’ll have to climb many stairs.
Tours of the stadium are offered on non-match days and are educational, and visiting the museum provides a nice trip down memory lane that no Red Devil fan should miss.
