The issue, vehemently denied by club’s chief operating officer Collette Roche, was that the club were touting their own tickets by reselling general admission seats donated to the Man United foundation.
Roche claimed that bots had snapped up general release tickets by mimicking “long-standing official members”.
For many fans, this did not ring true and in fact evidence that United are doing something similar for the FC Copenhagen match is freely available.
United Peoples TV observed that “Right now, the club directly is touting tickets to Copenhagen for £175. The perk? Access to the museum…”
Manchester United’s apology yesterday about tickets for the South Stand being sold to Galatasaray fans has done little to appease fans.
The issue, vehemently denied by club’s chief operating officer Collette Roche, was that the club were touting their own tickets by reselling general admission seats donated to the Man United foundation.
Roche claimed that bots had snapped up general release tickets by mimicking “long-standing official members”.
For many fans, this did not ring true and in fact evidence that United are doing something similar for the FC Copenhagen match is freely available.
United Peoples TV observed that “Right now, the club directly is touting tickets to Copenhagen for £175. The perk? a fan living overseas who cannot buy a season ticket, I can verify this practice is now the norm at Manchester United, and it is scandalous.
My partner and I paid £70 for our memberships and joined the queue for this season’s home game tickets 30 minutes before they went on sale this summer.
The queueing system eventually told us that all tickets for Premier League home games had already been sold before redirecting us to the corporate hospitality section.
There, we were offered poor tickets in the upper sections of the North Stand for £225 each under the guise of them being hospitality

As a fan living overseas who cannot buy a season ticket, I can verify this practice is now the norm at Manchester United, and it is scandalous.
My partner and I paid £70 for our memberships and joined the queue for this season’s home game tickets 30 minutes before they went on sale this summer.

There, we were offered poor tickets in the upper sections of the North Stand for £225 each under the guise of them being hospitality tickets.
As in the case reported above, the “hospitality” aspect was free entry to the museum.
It is inconceivable that every non-season ticket holder’s ticket to every single game of the current season could have been sold out 30 minutes before even going on sale to members only.
This despicable practice works twice over for United. They sell thousands of seats for inflated prices and also receive £35 each from fans paying for membership to apply for tickets they never had any chance of getting, because they were already being sold by the club at four or five times face value.
