Even a few years ago, it was much easier to buy Manchester United tickets as it is today. But those days are over, and Manchester United tickets are in great demand nowadays.
The upcoming Premier League season promises to be one of the most exciting ever. Manchester United, as defending champion, is again the favorite but Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal will try to stop Manchester United from winning the forth title in a row.
Manchester United may have lost Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez but the interest in the team has never been higher. During its preseason trip through Asia in July, Manchester United drew more than 200,000 spectators. The team is one of the most popular football teams around the world and the number of passionate supporters seems to grow with every year.
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.
