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 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.
Manchester United did lose two of its most popular players in Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez, but nevertheless it is one of the most popular teams in the world. Just last month on its trip through Asia, Manchester United drew more than 200,000 spectators. The number of passionate fans following the team seems to grow every year and not just in the United Kingdom.
The downside to having a larger and larger fan base is that it has become much more difficult to buy Manchester United tickets. Even playing its home games at the second largest stadium in the United Kingdom (with a total capacity of 76,212) does not change the fact that almost every game is a sell out. There are several reasons why it has become so difficult to buy Manchester United Tickets.
Only very few tickets are available for every game due to the large number of season ticket holders. For big games against Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, or some of the top European teams in the Champions League even fewer tickets are available. These tickets are allocated based on a ballot that One United Members (the official Manchester United fan club) can enter. Anyone can become a member as long as they pay their annual dues but even as a member, it requires a fair amount of luck to receive any tickets through the balloting process.
It is very unlikely that more Manchester United tickets will be available in the near future. The team is unlikely to decline in popularity even if the recent successes (three Premier League titles in a row, Champions League Winner in 2006/2007 and Runner-up in 2007/2008) cannot be repeated and there are no plans underway to expand Old Trafford.
