2025/26: Manchester United v Burnley – Ticket Information

[claret wizard]

Great.. wanted 6 as 3 of us have 2000 and 3 have 1980 - looks like we're missing out!

Three of you are missing out?

[ClaretSam92]

I had to ring up last season and they change it been ok since .

Did they change it after you had purchased the tickets? Or did they tweak something on the ticket account for that clarets number?

[Granny WeatherWax]

So at least 3000 people with membership / 2000 points.

[Leisure]

So at least 3000 people with membership / 2000 points.

How have you come to that conclusion?

[Granny WeatherWax]

How have you come to that conclusion?

Because most of the tickets have been sold, and we took over 3,000?!

[ClaretTony]

Because most of the tickets have been sold, and we took over 3,000?!

And there will be far more with 2,000 points than there were last season.

[Tinribs]

Well I had over 2000 points last season but dipped below this season because I lost all the away points from 5 years ago.

[ClaretTony]

Well I had over 2000 points last season but dipped below this season because I lost all the away points from 5 years ago.

But given that away tickets get 20 points now and given people were able to get another 230 points by downloading home tickets, the number of people with 2,000 must be way higher than it was at the start of last season.

[Targetman]

Great.. wanted 6 as 3 of us have 2000 and 3 have 1980 - looks like we're missing out!

Why not get 3 today and then hopefully the other 3 tomorrow.

[Targetman]

230 went on sale on Friday and has sold out.

Has block 229 also sold out then?

[ClaretTony]

Has block 229 also sold out then?

Sold out before we went on sale this morning from what I can see. 230 (not many left) and 231 went on sale at 10 and then 232 and 233 were added.

[claretdj]

Looks like there is about 50 tickets left, not sure how many more blocks to be added though?

[ClaretTony]

None, it's 229 to 233.

Well the stats today suggest your right because there’s going to be no tickets left at the end of today.So a good guideline now is that any popular away trip with 3k or less tickets is going to sell out before it reaches anyone under 2000 points

Were any points issued for buying Lazio tickets?

[claretdj]

None, it's 229 to 233.

Unbelievable 4 hours of sales this morning then.

[jrgbfc]

Be interesting to see how many have 2 thousand points now.

No, no points for any of the 3 friendlies.

I've just spoken to Leisure and he is not sure Block 229 has gone on sale yet so there may be a few more to come.

[claret wizard]

Couple of years ago people were complaining about the loyalty point system. Today, too many people have loyalty points so tickets sell out quick. The club can't win. Same with complaints about Parker last season, and complaints about the CFS changes. A vocal minority in each scenario have skewed the reality that most fans are happy to go with the flow. Messageboard echo chambers aren't the best place for the club to seek opinion from.

I think most people were expecting that day one this season would be greater than 2,000 points. Not sure what that has to do with Parker but as for the CFS changes, I sit in the Longside Upper and twelve days before the first home game I've still not received any information that I am going to have a much longer walk to the bus station after the game.

Perhaps it might be reasonable for the club to increase the number of loyalty points required for the first day of sale, say to 2,250 or 2,500, especially for high profile away games that are likely to sell out.

Just a thought?

[Lakeland Claret]

Or maybe take more tickets in the first place ...

So, for those who have finally got to 2000 points, you think it a good idea that the club now moves the target further away? You reap what you sow. This all came after the Blackpool whinge fest in the VK season, led by a few people upset that they couldn’t go to a nearby game.

[Leisure]

Can't take more than 3000 or 10% if the capacity is less than 30,000.

[MrTopTier]

The last block of 233 on sale now. So about 70 tickets,
of the original sale there are three singles left.

Haven't; seen the block on the left go on sale yet.

The reality here is that even if you did that you are only moving the goalposts. The ones with the most loyalty points are still likely to meet that criteria.

Whatever system is in place will be perceived to be unfair to those that didn’t get a ticket.

What I would like to see more than anything is clear outline of how 3000 tickets are divvied up.

How many to members.
How many to Hospitality members
How many to players and staff
How many to the foundation
How many to anybody else I haven’t thought about.

Which then leaves you with a number for season ticket holders.

Only then can you see where a system needs to be altered or rejigged. At the minute there is too much speculation and guesswork, which adds to the general frustration of anyone who can not get a ticket.

[MrTopTier]

Not sure why they don’t issue them in one go, surely a site like ticketmaster can cope with 3000 requests.

Yes I think its reasonable when it appears many more people now have 2,000 loyalty points.

I did mention that it might be an idea for more high profile games.

There wont be any such problems when we play away at Brighton, Crystal Palace or maybe even Wolves.

Add to that another question....why do hospitality members get to buy 4 tickets?

[MrTopTier]

Add to that another question....why do hospitality members get to buy 4 tickets?

Probably because they pay a ludicrous amount to be a hospitality member in the first place, would be my guess.
It’s a good point though.

With the new system though people would eventually catch up if they went to enough games, which wasn't the case before.
As for how many tickets disappear to sponsors etc with the size of the playing/backroom squad these days a decent chunk must go there now. And i'm sure a sponsor like Barnfield could basically get as many as they wanted.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Be great if this demand is there all season rather than lose around 50% after a few defeats

[The Shire Claret]

I imagine also a good few that missed out on Spurs and was gonna give united a miss will be on this now

[Tinribs]

Or maybe take more tickets in the first place ...

The platinum ticket is too blame,The club rewarding loyalty with points except if you hand £150 over then you get first pick

[Awayfromburnley]

Frustrating this really.

How can I ever get into the 2000 category when Iam on 1980 points but cant buy tickets to increase my points......?

I can live with not going to OT this year but desperate to go to Bramley Moore

You will get five points every time you use your season ticket on the Turf which will soon take you past 2,000.

Not sure what that has to do with Parker but as for the CFS changes, I sit in the Longside Upper and twelve days before the first home game I've still not received any information that I am going to have a much longer walk to the bus station after the game.

The club posted that 2000 pts would be the threshold soon after the fixtures came out. Our group commented on it at the time that it would make Monday mornings interesting. I wonder if they’ll stick to it?

I was just using Parker and the CFS situation that you tend only to hear the moaning few far more than the wider majority. True, I think there’s a lot more to moan about in reference to the CFS. Maybe you should try and move to the CFS, it’ll be a much shorter walk now.

[ClaretTony]

I think I'll give that a miss

There'll be plenty of away games where you won't need 2k points and therefore be able to get a ticket.
Brighton, Palace, Wolves, West Ham- for definite and I suspect a few more...

If we’re playing well, maybe not.

It is funny that lots of people were saying their kids had no chance of reaching the first purchase period. Now the loyalty scheme has changed and they can they complain what they have to pay for a kids tickets!

A time machine and go to a few more away games? Plenty we haven’t sold out in the last 5 years.

[Awayfromburnley]

Thank you, I had absolutely no idea this was the case, good news (until the threshold goes to 3000 )

[Row x]

It’s a good point though.

I bet they haven't put as much money in over the years as I, and many others have done

[Charlie Perry banks]

Was hoping I could buy tomorrow on 1750+ points but looking unlikely now?

[Leisure]

Not really to blame as supposedly Premium members only get access to 5% of our allocation. So for Utd it's just 150.

[littlemissclaret]

Yeah that's obviously right - 3,000 tickets, 100 premium members..... Not foundation members, staff and club comps, supporter clubs, hospitality holders.....

[Kevwando]

How many are roughly left? Will be trying in the morning

City away will be interesting this time, especially if we have a bad start.
