Go anywhere in the world and even if you don’t know the language the mere mention of Manchester United and it will probably solicit a smile and a thumbs up! They may even mention legends such as Giggs, Best, Cantona, Charlton or that global superstar David Beckham who started his career at Man Utd.

Manchester United are undoubtedly the most famous global football brand in the world. With such popularity and high demand for all things Man Utd this also means that tickets to Premier League matches featuring United are notoriously hard to come by and quite expensive. 

The cheapest long-term option for affordable Man Utd tickets is by joining One United via the Man Utd website. By becoming a member you have priority over the general public when applying for match tickets. However, being a member does not guarantee you a ticket instead these tickets are allocated on a lottery basis. The results of this ballot are announced a couple of weeks prior to each match.

Should a member fail to secure tickets there is still a possibility of acquiring some through the Manchester United Ticket Exchange operated by viagogo. For those members that no longer need tickets they can sell them to other members securely through the website. This is more a question of potluck as any tickets that do become available are snapped up pretty much straight away. Any tickets that do become available will be more than likely for games against the lesser opposition.

Other benefits of One United membership are:

• Receive a £5 discount for all tickets for the home matches

• Get free entry into Home Reserve matches and see stars of the future and potentially first-team players playing to get their sharpness back after an injury lay-off

• Able to put their name forward for the season ticket waiting list

• 10% off any purchases from the Megastore. Particularly handy when you want to buy the new man utd shirt!

If this all seems a bit long-winded and you need tickets without any hassle you can easily purchase tickets from a reputable ticket agency. Here you will find a good selection of tickets and you can potentially choose which stand you would like to be seated in.

Watching a Premiership match live is an amazing experience as you really feel you’re part of the action. A fully packed stadium, great football, the crowd chanting and the opportunity to shout and sing loud without anyone batting an eyelid makes this an experience not to be missed! Above all have fun!
