I work during the week and can't make it down to the ground today. Does anyone have any idea what the extended hours will be for the ticket office Mon-Thurs?

Exactly what I'm planning on doing when they answer their phones today.

Most of the younger singers can't afford the more expensive seats so I was thinking it might be better to ask for central areas behind the goal to be made a Yellow Army area.

What blocks do people suggest, best to include front to back I'd have thought.

For the younger singers who can't afford the more expensive seats, I think it's important that those who can are maybe in the block directly behind them. I'm hoping the club do allocate a yellow army area, and I'll wait to see if they do before purchasing my tickets. I'm getting someone to buy my tickets on Monday so would like to know where others have decided to sit/stand at OT.

I've been unable to get through to the club so far and now I just get a continued engaged tone so all I can suggest is that those who wish to join the singers will need to try and get tickets for the central areas behind the goal.

Budleigh has kindly agreed to get hold of the club to try and sort out a Yellow Army section. From what I can see, Blocks WL103, WL104, WU204, and FAM206 seem to be the ones to use.

I'm aiming to go in the lower sections, simply because I think most of the younger element will not want to part with £36 for a ticket when they get get them a tenner cheaper.

Brought mine today £36 one. They are selling them from the Corner onwards you CANNOT choose what block you want to be in.

Also noting that Students can buy concession tickets but you have to take proof with you to Old Trafford.

Absolutely pathetic decision by the Club yet again.

Why is it that the fans get treated like shit over and over again. Think I'll stay at home and pay Sky and further screw football in the arse.

Why aren't people at the club listening to the fans?

When's the final deadline for tickets to be bought. Might see if I can leave it to the last minute if the club won't budge on this stupid system.

I'm going to wait and see what they do. I know they've been asked to sort out a section for the singers, if they can't manage to sort that out then sod it, I'll watch it on bloody tv.

Why can we not choose where we sit? Who came up with that ridiculous notion?

Corner inwards? Totally ridiculous, I do wonder sometimes if it's done on purpose just to piss us fans off.

There were people asking them about it. Apparently its out of there control as this is how the people at Old Trafford have asked them to sell them.
