It was not too long ago that is was much easier to buy Manchester United tickets as it is today. Times have changed and Manchester United tickets have become a commodity in great demand.
The Premier League season is about to start again and it promises to be one of the most exciting seasons ever. The defending champion Manchester United is once again the favorite but teams such as Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal will pose the greatest challenge to Manchester United to win the title for a fourth year in a row.
Even after the loss of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez, Manchester United is still one of the most popular teams around the world. This popularity was on display in July when more than 200,000 spectators saw Manchester United play in a number of preseason games in Asia. The number of passionate fans seems to grow with every season especially if the team keeps on winning trophies as it has in the last few years.
Having more and more fans has one disadvantage though: it is increasingly difficult to buy Manchester United tickets. Old Trafford is the second biggest stadium in the United Kingdom with a capacity of 76,212 (only Wembley is larger) but almost every single home game is a sell out and Manchester United tickets have become harder and harder to get due a number of factors.
The large number of season ticket holders means that only a limited number of tickets are available for every game. This is even more true for some of the big games against the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, the local derby with Manchester City, and some of the Champions League matches against other top European teams. The small number of tickets available are sold to members of the One United fan club, which enter a ballot for every game that they want to see. Becoming a member is easy because all that is required is to pay the annual fee but with the limited number of tickets available, anyone getting tickets through the ballot should consider themselves fortunate.
The supply of available Manchester United tickets will probably not go up anytime soon. The team’s popularity is on the rise and that won’t change even if recent successes (three Premier League titles in a row, Champions League Winner in 2006/2007 and Runner-up in 2007/2008) will not be matched. Furthermore, there are no plans to increase the capacity of Old Trafford for the time being.
