I've had this from someone who lives in the same building as Kalvin Phillips... good signing?
-
Heard this morning the club have caught a number of fans who secured tickets in the phased process, trying to sell them on for a profit, hence fans are now getting calls offering tickets....🤦♂️

Just had a call off the box office and secured a ticket for Sunday.
If you lost out in the ballots and you get a call from an "unknown" number - answer it!
Congrats! The torment continues then...

Personally I'd like to see a small portion of the away tickets saved for general sale each match. At least then people without points would have a chance of starting to build up some points. The problem with the way it is now is it's not allowing for the next generation of away supporters to have a chance to get tickets. And I know for a fact you get people who have hundreds of points getting tickets for every game and selling them to other people just to keep their points increasing. Most of the away games I've been to in the last few years have been on someone elses tickets.
Are season tickets/loyalty points transferrable to family members? So when I can't go anymore, can I transfer ST and points to my son?

My pal's had a season ticket for 30 years and is in the same boat. It doesn't appear that the ballot section has been well done at all. I'm hearing lots of people who were in the first section of the ballot didn't get a ticket. I'm all for finding ways for more people to get a chance for tickets for both home and away games, but it's more than a little harsh to think that people who have spent years supporting the club through thin and thin have missed out to people who's shown very little interest in the past (I appreciate that this isn't the case with everyone) or cunts who just buying tickets to get themselves more points and then selling them on. I also think the club should have better explained how the ballot process was going to work. I think, justifiably, most people in the first section of the ballot will have expected a ticket and may have made plans/incurred costs on that basis. At least if they had just said it's basically a free ballot and the sections are just so that we can ensure there's no problems for anyone trying to apply, then those people could have made a more informed choice as to whether they would risk their money.
I've also read comments by fans saying it blows the discussion wide open now around access to tickets for league games, especially away tickets. I fully respect the away ticket prioritisation as those who travel to every/most away games should have priority to those tickets. But personally, I don't stand a chance of a sniff at away tickets as I don't have enough loyalty points and can't grow them to be one who goes to every away game. I'd sell my wife to be at every away game!-

That's true but what really fucks me off is the lack of communication and transparency. So we were advised by the club if you want two seats together you will have to wait to apply using the mechanism of the fan who is qualified for the lower period. Additionally the club did not give out information on how the draw would be conducted (links didn't work on website and e-mail wouldn't clarify this). On the first point, this was a lie, or (according to the box office), they changed the rules half way through when they realised that minors had to be legally paired with a guardian, but just didn't bother telling anyone until it was too late. Cunts. On the second point, I'm going to fully agree with David Kelly and say it makes no fucking sense to reserve allocations to lower periods, I just can't get the logic of this. If in principle you think it's fair that fans should be stratified on "loyalty", however you choose to define that, then just fucking do it. Don't let a situation arise as has with us where someone who has been a ST holder for >20 years and clocked up 60 away games, and been to 2 of the home cup matches, ends up with no tickets. That's just not fair.
Couldn't agree more.
Final nail in the coffin and kick in the teeth was getting the season ticket renewal email the same day...

No skin in this game, but surely if someone in P5, P6 or P7 is getting a ticket ahead of someone in P4, then something has gone wrong?
It makes the criteria for 4-7 completely pointless. I'd love to hear the rationale around this from NUST.

This better be someone on the wind up else it's a fucking disgrace.
Absolutely gutted to miss out in P4 and this is 🤦♂️
Feels like a kick in the teeth especially given we just received our season ticket renewal info email after the ten year price freeze we commited to. Still renewing mind.
Ah well. -
Has anyone heard of anyone getting an email or payment taken for ballot tickets yet? That's going to be the moment I write off getting tickets. I need this torture to end.

aye.
I mean common sense would suggest once p3 had finished and they knew how many tickets were left over and how many tickets were gonna be allocated to each of sections p4, p5, p6 and p7 that they would just conduct each ballot separately, surely?
I can see the ticket purchasing history of all the people I'm linked to. it most definitely had my mate as having made a transaction today for man ud v newcastle with a note of ballot transaction next to.
then like a puff of smoke it was gone! I've hallucinated many times in the past, but this wasn't one of those occasions!
Is it not going through p4 to p7 as ballots until the tickets have gone? Or does it mean that some in p4 miss out, but some in p7 go to Wembley?

logged in to book nufc co uk and in the history section it showed my travelling buddy (p4 priority) had made a ballot transaction on 14.2.23. for man utd v newcastle.
text his son saying like your dad's got one.
2 minutes later it had disappeared out of the history!
they can't fuck this up surely?!
It's saying 'Error! Bad Request' when I click on ballot after logging in 🤦♂️

Just read in t&cs, "If you do not receive an email then, unfortunately the number of ballot applications received
has exceeded available ticket capacity and you have not been successful."It's going to be a long day...

Anyone know of a river for the game?
-
It's going to be all praise for Shelvey but Perez has been insane tonight. Great performance and showing his worth.
-
-
Any of our recent managers would have had us shut up shop at 2 nil. Rafa no - and we're stil pushing forward. Great times for us
-
Aye, we woulda struggled without the rub of the green on this one
The goal in 1st haf disallowed was onside so works out
-
-
Goal of the month for sure
-
Holy - Shelvey the beast!!!!!!!!!!
-
Still not sure about that line up
Has to be tactical based on Rafa's research - it's working
-
wonder where Murphy is. Be good to give Atsu some decent time on the pitch in the 2nd half - be interesting to see what he brings.
-
Rafa is creating something v v special
-
Shelvey sounds like he's on it tonight
Transfers, 2023-24 season

Haha that was my thought too! More I read it, more I question it. Hope that the personal opinion is relating to the permanent signing, but we get him in now as cover for Tonali
