Manchester United Football club play their football games at Old Trafford which has a capacity of 76,212 the highest in England, but despite this United sell out the stadium for every game.
For away matches Manchester United will normally get an allocation of around 2,500 tickets and receive over 12,000 applications for these tickets.
For both of these reasons getting to see Manchester United play can be very hard as tickets are hugely in demand. In order to get tickets we can recommend two ways for you. Firstly you can contact Manchester United directly and we recommend you do this on the day before the game as the club will often have last minute cancellations.
The alternative is to use a reputable ticket agent and we recommend using United Ticket Agency for Manchester United Tickets as they sell tickets for both Home Games and Manchester United Away Games
Old Trafford is around 3 miles from Manchester City Centre and is easily reached by car, bus, train and tram. There are several pubs and restaurants in the area and you can also purchase alcohol, soft drinks and food within Old Trafford itself.
There are four stands that make up The Theatre of Dreams, the Stretford End, North Stand, South stand and East Stand, with most of the atmosphere coming from the World famous Stretford End.
On non match days visitors to Old Trafford can visit the Manchester United Museum and can also go on a stadium tour that takes around an hour to complete and is well recommended to all Manchester United fans. The club has a very large Megastore where visitors can buy all the merchandise they want.
