Getting their hands on some Manchester United football tickets is the dream of every fan of the Red Devils. A first visit to Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United since 1910, is an experience that no fan will ever forget. The stadium (nicknamed “The Theatre of Dreams” by Bobby Charlton) is the second largest English football stadium after Wembley Stadium, with a capacity of 76,212.
It’s not easy to buy Manchester United football tickets because it is one of the most popular teams in the world and demand for tickets is always greater then supply. By becoming a member of the One United fan club, fans have to opportunity to get tickets for home games by applying through a lottery. Every member applying for a particular game has the same chance as all of the other members. Fans who don’t succeed in getting tickets through the lottery can buy tickets in the secondary market from a ticketing agency or a ticket broker.
The experience you seek at Old Trafford determines where the best seats are for you. If you are like so many passionate Red Devils fans and enjoy singing and cheering the entire game, then the Stretford End (West Stand) behind the goal is the right place for you. If you enjoy the view from behind the goal but like it more quiet, then the East Stand on the opposite site might be a better choice. This is also where the fans of the visiting team are located.
The North and South Stand are better options for fans wanting to sit along the side of the pitch. The North Stand is the largest stand and holds 26,000 people on three tiers. It is much newer and holds some facilities including the Manchester United theme restaurant and bar called Red Caf. The stand is popular among fans but the 3rd level (Sections starting with the number 4) is very high above the pitch and requires climbing a good number of stairs. The South Stand, on the other hand, is much more intimate and this is where the players and coaches sit. Many of the VIPs and the media can also be found on this stand.
A tour of the stadium (offered on non-match days only) is educational and visiting the museum provides a nice trip down memory lane that no Red Devil fan should miss.
