An absolutely disgraceful way for a big club to treat what is effectively its customers. Have the realised exactly how much Rooney is going to cost them?

They can do it hence they do , with no champions league next year it will come back to bite them , 300k a week for Rooney , that will bite them too , anyway its time for others clubs to enjoy winning , problems at MU are a lot deeper then can be seen

It won't take much at the moment for the fans to turn on the Glazers again..

Last time it was Getting beat by Leeds in the cup that sparked it all off..

I reckon this could tip them over the edge again, They could get their heads together and do something really Drastic... Again.



YES, you guessed it.. Coming to a ground near you..

The return of the Green And Gold scarves ... That'll really show them pesky Glazers!!!

That Green and Gold campaign was a farce.
 
At our place (Crystal Palace) if you want to see a category A game you have buy a corresponding Cat B game ticket. That means if I want to take someone to see Man City I have to buy a ticket to see a team like say, Cardiff. This is despite the fact that I have a season ticket and therefor have a ticket for the Cardiff game already and might have trouble shifting it!

But surely a season ticket is just that, its your seat for every league game? Thats certainly what mine is. I have to buy cup games if I want them but I'm certainly not forced to, and as a ST holder I get first shout for cup tickets. Away games are prioritised by how many previous away games are on your buying history, season tickets dont come into it, which is fair enough in my opinion.

Edit: Just read your post properly:rolleyes:

We operate the same for my season ticket as you but if my son who can't go to every game as he has 2very young children wants to see a top team we waste the money on the other ticket
 
We did the same for a couple of the bigger games last season. I think its a fair system as it means the true fan gets a good shout at getting a ticket in front of the daytripper who just wants to come out for the big games.

Pretty much how ours works. There is a loyalty point system whereby the less attractive games attract more points and the points count for away tickets and at cup final time, but that is the only incentive to buy. Certainly no gun to the head like there appears to be at Old Trafford.
 
It does appear unfair but as a season ticket holder you sign up for buy your ticket for champions league and Fac matches it's part of terms and conditions and risk losing it or failing that tou may not be invited to renew next season.
There maybe a few more empty seats next year as more worryingly the same system is looking like being applied should we scrap in to the Europa league. Don't think the high profile friendly series will be included but who knows!!

A nothing story in my opinion. Season tickets have t's and see that have to be adgered to.

If UTD were playing well and 2-0 up in a glamour tie then the fans would be all over the tickets. Can't pick and choose, they agreed to te terms when taking the season tickets.

That said, I agree they may struggle financially. Just don't think their stance is wrong.
 
Seems strange that the T&C's insist on attending games in a separate event to ensure seats at a PL match. What would have happened if they were already out of everything else? Don't turn up for the previous PL game despite already buying a season ticket and still miss the derby. I think United will feel a pinch with Rooney's salary, missing on CL and the cost of transfers to get players in and rebuild the squad

Missing a Prem game wouodnt matter. They've been prepaid for. Although I believe UTD has a system where you can sell your seat for the day. The cup games still have to be paid for on top of season ticket prices.

The scheme to resell PL tickets has lapsed due to low take up it was with viagogo and basically legalised touring admin charges were in excessive of £15 a ticket over and above face value.

End of day if you don't agree to TnC then don't buy a season ticket.
 
The Golden Goose can only lay so many eggs , the product is not going to be as good as that of past seasons , so to carry on biting the hand that feeds it will be foolish when you have 300k a week to pay for one player and others will note that and want the same , the future is not red for sure ............................................EYG
 
Uniteds season tickets are cheap though, compared with the London clubs, particularly arsenal. Their fans don't realise how good they have it.
United have very strong corporate sponsorship that makes up for this. They can afford to alienate some fans, and they really are not going to suffer much, as the corporate money will still roll in. Seriously, who else can sell their training kit logos for 40 million quid?

Nobody goes to see losers and a bad product , look how many dump Tiger Woods after his wife bash him with a 7 iron , not the same I know but when you are winning , very one wants to watch you , players want to join you and the corporate boxes will be sort after , the saying everyone loves a winner is truer then you think

Well, that rules out 19 premiership teams then, especially arsenal, who have won zip for 9 years, and I still can't get a ticket!
