How Can I Tell What Kind of Manchester United Tickets I Should Buy?
Every fan of the Red Devils dreams of getting their hands on some Manchester United football tickets. A first visit to Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United since 1910, is an unforgettable experience for any fan. Bobby Charlton nicknamed the Stadium “The Theatre of Dreams” and with its capacity of 76,212, it is the second largest English football stadium after Wembley.
Because the team has a huge following, and demand always outstrips supply, buying tickets to Manchester United Football games is never easy. Fans are encouraged to join the One United Fan club which allows members to apply for tickets through a lottery, giving every member who enters the same chance to obtain tickets for a match. 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 Old Trafford? That depends on what one wants to experience. The Stretford End (West Stand) is where the most passionate fans cheer on their beloved Red Devils. This is the section to sit in if you are interested in singing and cheering on the team for the entire game. 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 be seated along the side of the pitch, the North and South stands are the best places for you to sit. Players and coaches are located in the South Stand which is much smaller than the North Stand and so provides a more intimate atmosphere. This is also the stand in which visiting VIPs and the media are hosted. On the other hand, the North Stand holds about 26,000 spectators and stands three tiers high. It is newer with much newer facilities including the Red Café, a team theme restaurant and bar. The North Stand is popular, but if you are sitting in the section starting with the number 4, you will be on the 3rd level and will see the game from quite a distance. In addition, you will have to climb a good number of stairs to reach your section in the 3rd level.
Red Devil fan should not miss a tour of the stadium (offered on non-match days only) as it is educational and visiting the museum provides a nice trip down memory lane.
