United have said they are expecting reds take get 3,800 tickets for next month’s trip to Madrid.
In an email, the club said tickets would cost £62.50 and £70.50 in the away end and there would be a small number of tickets in another block costing £157.
When applications open on January 7, fans will be able to choose which price range they want to get, picking a first and second preference.
We estimate that about 2,000 fans have got one credit and anywhere between 400 and 1,000 fans have bought tickets via Thomas Cook Sport.
If you consider that some of the TCS customers will have one credit and that not everyone with one credit will apply, it’s fair to say that anywhere between 600 and 2,000 tickets will be left over for those with no credits, though we think it will probably be around 1,200.
We are looking into whether Real Madrid is complying with UEFA rules which state away fans must pay the same as home fans with a comparable view.
Last season, Bilbao exploited a loophole in that process by giving their members a huge discount, whereas in reality, very few non-members bought tickets in the home end.
Last summer,
Reds Away wrote to UEFA asking them to close this rule and United are also campaigning to close the loophole too.
Damien, passport too!!
Cheers Pre, was the card in your name?
No in my wife’s name , they didn’t care
Perfect Pre, thanks
Flight delayed, looking like it will be 7pm before I get to the bernabeu. Hopefully there won’t be long queues to collect tickets
Shocking getting in the ground! Crushes and police smacking us for a good 10 minutes! Other than that what a trip.
Still not had a refund is anyone else in the same situation let me no plz??
Tom, I am still waiting for my refund.
I actually tried to get in to the second united end but was told to go to the proper united end with my ticket and it worked so I ended up there. Did this happen to anyone else?
I should have been in the 2nd away end too but they wouldnt let me near it, was in the proper away section. Terribly organized the getting in and out. My refund was processed last monday.
Armani – same happened to me, but the other way around
I have received my refund! Finally!
Now that it’s all over lads, I reckon we should give ourselves a pat on the back for making this second away end happen!
Well done everyone!
