Man Utd v's Chelsea

2L84SLEEP · 23 Oct 2006 at 20:56

Hi folks

Now first off, I know that the chances are next to zero but the girlfriend and I are down the weekend of the 25/26th Nov in Manchester and Man Utd play Chelsea that weekend. Is there any chance of finding tickets for this game anywhere or is it just a watch in the pub game?

Thanks

i think there's still some available for the museum/red cafe and all that crap. Basically for around £200 quid you get a pre or post match meal. complimentary drink free parking and "executive" (ie plastic seat with a cushion) seat in the quadrants. Bit of a rip off really but thats the only way you'll get a ticket for it unless you pay over the odds. No chance of getting a normal ticket direct from united as they'll all be sold out.

I *might* have a couple of spares due to a falling out with a work friend ( I'm a seson ticket holder but get a couple of tickers on top per game ).

Too be honest if they do become avaliable it's a case of how much they mean too you? I'm no tout so I'm not talking about making money, I mean are you a big United fan or just fancy watching the biggest game of the season

Hey there, I wont lie and say I am the biggest Man Utd fan ever, just take an interest. Have been down in Manchester before and did the stadium tour which really got our interest, would love to see what it was like full though in such a big game though! If anything does become available, although I know unlikely, by all means let us know.

As a rough idea, what would tickets from a tout go for, for a game like this on average. This is just really to get an idea whether to rule the whole thing out or not!

Wow you've picked one of the top 4 worse games for touts, never really delt with them but at a rough guess a £25 ticket for around £200 and the likely hood of a tier 3 ticket ( better off watching it on tv than there ! ).

You'll get tickets from the Railway club on match days.

I sadly thought this may be the case, just would have been superb being at a game like that! Do tickets ever become available to the general public for Man U games or are they normally always snapped up before hand?

hi im a big UTD fan, i would love to visit OT to watch them play chelsea. the last game i saw was Man Utd VS Chelsea in league cup.

we actually lost our tickets walking into OT, and had to buy new spares from the ticket booth thingy. we were sat just behind Jose, and had an excellent view. shame about the result.

if anyone has spares pls get in touch!

If you check www.manutd.com then tickets a few european games/fa cup/league cup pop up but it's rare.

Actually went to that game too. Awful seats, but what a goal by Giggs!

If your ever likely to be down often go for a One utd membership for £27 and theres a good chance you'll get tickets for most games during the season.
Otherwise a fair few games have hit general sale recently. Even the Fulham game on the opening day
