How to Get Man Utd Away Tickets

Your no nonsense guide to securing Man Utd away Tickets.

Why are away tickets harder to get than home tickets?

Because every away end is tiny and United’s fanbase is massive. We’re talking about 3,000 tickets max for most Premier League away games and over 50,000 season ticket holders all trying to get in.

It’s not just about numbers, it’s about loyalty. The club wants to reward those who’ve been on the road, sun, rain or shine. So unless you’ve been following United to Burnley on a Tuesday night for years, your chances are slim.

Do I need a membership or season ticket to buy away tickets?

Yes and not just any season ticket. You need to have held it for four+ consecutive years to even get your name in the hat.

• No Season Ticket? No chance.
  
• Season Ticket < 4 Years? Still no chance.
  
• Season Ticket + 4+ Years? Congrats, you can enter the ballot.
  

Membership helps for home tickets, but for away days, it’s the big leagues only

How to get away tickets for Premier League games?

1. Hold a season ticket for 4+ years.
   
2. Opt into the away ticket scheme.
   
3. Apply through the club site when the ballot opens.
   
4. Cross your fingers.
   

Even then? It’s a lottery. Some fans go all season without a single successful ballot.

Is there actually no way to get Premier League away tickets without a season ticket?

Honestly? Almost none. Unless a mate who has a spare ticket, or you know someone with a corporate or hospitality connection, you're out of luck.

But all hope’s not lost read on.

How does the process differ from home tickets?

Home tickets have member sales, general sales, and even late drops. Away tickets? Ballot or bust.

• No membership only access
  
• No public sale
  
• No supporter club allocation
  

It’s a closed shop for the loyal inner circle.

How to get away tickets for European games?

Now we’re talking. European group-stage matches especially against the lesser known sides can be your way in.

• No loyalty points? You still might get a chance.
  
• Early rounds in places like Denmark or Belgium are often undersubscribed.
• Football Ticket Pro keeps tabs on Euro away tickets with lower barriers to entry.

Tip: These games help you build away points. So getting to United v Copenhagen now = better ballot chances for United v Bayern later.

How to get away tickets for the FA Cup or Carabao Cup?

Not easy, but more doable than the league.

• Early rounds against smaller teams may not sell out to top loyalty holders.
  
• Midweek games = lower demand.
  
• Ballots still apply, but competition is slightly less fierce (only slightly).

What’s the best alternative to securing away ticket?

Get in the home end. Sounds wrong, but it works if you play it smart:

• No colours: Leave the United shirt at home.
• No reactions: Celebrating in the wrong section is a one-way ticket out.
• Hospitality: Yes, it’s pricey. But it’s legal, official, and gets you through the door

Can I legally buy away tickets from third party sites?

Nope. Not officially.

Resale of football tickets without club authorisation is illegal in the UK.

• No guarantee of entry
  
• No protection from scams
  
• Risk of being banned
  

Stick to official routes or trusted guidance from places like Football Ticket Pro. We’ll never push dodgy sellers

How does the loyalty/points system work for away games?

• Every away game attended = 1 credit
  
• Credits are tracked over 3-year rolling windows
  
• More credits = better chance in the ballot
  
• Miss a game you’ve won a ticket for? Expect it to count against you
  

Start small Europe, early round cups and build up.

Football Ticket Pro helps fans understand the loyalty ladder, and how to climb it.

Let’s not sugar-coat it: Premier League away tickets are the hardest to get in football. If you’re not a top-tier season ticket holder, you’ll need luck, timing, and a Plan B.
