How to buy tickets for a Manchester United match at Old Trafford?

🎟️ Ticket sales for Manchester United matches at Old Trafford are available on the club's online ticketing platform.

🪪 Ticket sales are reserved for members. You must pay £35 for the season and this provides various exclusive benefits such as shop discounts but most importantly access to ticketing.

For rare European matches against weaker opponents, sales may open to the general public.

📆 There are several ticket sale windows for Manchester United matches:

• The first sale takes place at the very start of the half-season, usually between May and July.
• A second sale opens during the season 2 to 4 months before the match.
• A third sale often takes place 2-3 weeks before the match.

For all these sales you need to be vigilant as demand is very high and tickets sell out very quickly. To stay informed, visit the online ticketing platform, all information is continuously updated for each match. As a member you will also receive an email alert 24-48 hours before each sale opens.

💸 Through Manchester United's official ticketing, tickets generally cost between £30 and £70 (excluding hospitality).

⚠️  One membership = 1 ticket purchase and a membership is personal. Each person who wants to buy a ticket must have a membership in their own name.
