EDIT (01.09.2021) - I'm a season ticket holder again! South Stand Lower, next to the dugout. PERFECT!
Come say hi to me if you're around S126!
go to a totenham game
Ok
Big of you bro
Ultimate Bucket List Please do Tottenham
Wet man you lad turning down stetford end
Most underrated channel ever
Thanks!
Ultimate Bucket List great job risky doing rival teams though but absolutely fantastic channel
MSG duckbill agree!!
MSG duckbill I know
Your not joking
Makes me miss living in Manchester. Used to work in media city and I lived in some of those nearby houses. Walked past Old Trafford every day to go to work and it always gave me a smile as I was going in.
You're not missing much! It's still the same, half buildings, half building site. And the same shitty traffic along Trafford Road and the M60. Some things never change!
Aw mate, I hope to go there when I’m older! Born in Canada, and I absolutely love this team, I hope to go to a game as soon as i can, sad that covid has affected this.
Yes, the COVID has really ruined a lot of things.
That said, I'm sure you'll make it here one day!
I recommend it. Been going for 10 years and still have fun every time. Hope you see a good game when you go and you'll love it
It's a dream to visit and watch a match at Old Trafford. Manchester is literally the first place I want to visit when I go out of my country. Great video man👍 Shows us United fans from across the world how the experience is. -All the way from India
I hope you come one day! Good luck to you sir!
Thanks for the tips, I’m traveling from the US and looking forward to going to my first Manchester United game vs city in march!
Cool - I hope you enjoy the game and your time here in Manchester!
I was a bit slow off the mark getting tickets to that one, so I've not bothered. I just watched United vs City in the cup last week ... that was a nightmare. You still might see me at that one though!
Ultimate Bucket Not a bad win today get innnnn❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Luis Fajardo well it was worth it wasn’t it?
Bruh yes sir it was incredible!
Ultimate Bucket List go to Croke park Stadium in Dublin Ireland it is bigger than old trafford 82000
It’s my ultimate dream to visit old trafford and see united play in person. Love the videos . From Western Canada.
Thanks Carter ... if you're coming from abroad, there are several travel companies that will deal with your flights, accommodation and match tickets so you don't have to buy membership etc. Thomas Cook did this before they went out of business, but there's plenty of others!
Went to that game and privileged to be so near to my favourite youtuber
Thanks Rowan. Yeah, it wasn't a bad game - fairly entertaining, shame about the result.
Thank you soooo much I’ve always wanted to go to Manchester to watch the Reds play I’m from America so it’s kinda hard this video has showed me the greatness of Old Trafford thank you bro.
Cool! Glad you like my video - check out my channel for more.
Hope you make it to a game one day?

Mate! I’ve never seen you before, but I will from now on. This is such a brilliant video! Such a good job you’ve done, I mean it! I’m a big fan myself and knew all these things before, but you explain it all so perfectly! This is like stuff you could show at an exam! It brilliant! - Kind regards Oliver
Thanks Oliver, I appreciate that!
I'm not as regular as I used to be due to the whole no season ticket thing. But I do buy single tickets for games sometimes. I'm at the game with City on Tuesday night, North Stand lower, about halfway line if you're looking out for me!
I’ve been to a few games in the 16/17 season and it’s honestly the best thing I’ve ever done, the atmosphere is amazing especially when they score and it’s so worth the money. Just wanted to watch this to remind myself as I’m going to Man United vs Wolves on 1st Feb
Fair enough. Sometimes the match atmosphere is dull, but when things are going well it's good.
FA Cup tickets for Wolves is now up too.
Ultimate Bucket List Yeah great video btw, I’m going to the premier league game getting tickets from season ticket holders so I hope they’re some decent seats :)
@@Minimilesy07 yo bro, how much are the prices around for match day tickets?
@@itsaaronm10c92 with membership, £30-60
Having been going consistently for 2011, OT is great when the games going well atmosphere wise, the prices for food is fair and definitely sit halfway up a stand for the best view. I've sat in the North stand right where he was, and above the tunnel to the pitch. Above the tunnel makes it hard to see for 1 half great for another.
Agreed. Halfway up Old Trafford is probably the best seat you'll get.
I have now secured a season ticket halfway up the South Stand, and I'm not giving that up anytime soon!
hahah you can see me by the tunnel waiting to go in, good video too :)
Cool, you're famous!
just saw this video I'm going in less than 2 months, this video helped alot to give me an idea what to expect !! thank you!
Great! I hope you enjoy your first trip to Old Trafford!
Thank you so much for this! I'm travelling from Sweden in a few weeks to visit Old trafford for the first time and this video helps me a lot! 🥰
You're welcome, I'm glad this helps you out 🙂
I think you'll enjoy your first game at Old Trafford, I hope you have fun here 👍
I'm a Arsenal fan, but I went to old Trafford with my dad who's a United fan to watch the match against Crystal Palace in August, the best experience of my life, atmosphere was unbelievable and to top it off United lost 😂, but in all seriousness I've always had a soft spot for United because of my dad and I'm telling you the atmosphere at old Trafford actually puts the Emirates atmosphere to shame 😂
Atmosphere is best at the Stretford End, no doubt, but you won't be able to see anything because everyone stands all game.
In general, the atmosphere is okay - but I've been to way better places for that.
@@UltimateBucketList I was sitting in the god tiers of the family stand, view was clear and amazing, I've been to Arsenal games at the Emirates and trust me i got a complete culture shock at Old Trafford, the best atmosphere I've seen at any game 👍🏻
Yes, they didn't call it 'Highbury the Library' for no reason! The Emirates (apparently) isn't much better.
@@rm-gi2mj WRONG! It's an all seater stadium and there are specific areas where you can stand. But otherwise you sit your ass down.
Whilst in the Stretford End, Andre the Giant stood in front of me blocking my view. Everyone else is also standing, myself included. Now, unless you can think of a way of me growing 3 feet to see above said giant - assume you're WRONG.
@@rm-gi2mj I bet you any money you're not a United fan - you're just some troll spouting crap in his mother's bedroom. Do us all a favour and get a job so you can afford tickets to go to an actual game. Then you can 'stand' behind someone like Andre the Giant in the Stretford End and then see nothing all game and happy that you paid good money to not watch football.
Yes, by all means show off your true fandom by not actually watching the game but shouting like you think you know what you're talking about.
I expect that crap from Liverpool fans, but not from true United supporters, which I guarantee that you're not.
Back to the troll hole you go SUNSHINE!
I love this channel, shows me the stadiums i really want to go to, specially Old Trafford and watch United play❤️ u should probably try this for every PL stadium. Good job 👍
Thanks. I probably won't get to go to every stadium - but yeah it's worth a shot.

Great video. Made my first visit to Old Trafford in April 2019 and can't wait to go again. If you are staying overnight, obviously there is the Hotel Football and there is also a pretty nice Holiday Inn Express across the canal in Salford...
Yes, those are decent places to stay. Hotel Football is expensive especially around matchdays, but if you're doing one of their corporate hospitality deals, it works out pretty well.
Thanks!
Iam a Manchester united fan from kenya, i love the video and i always watch it weekly...i really love and thank you for the good work and your efforts to ensure we have a taste of old trafford...i will one day tour oldtrafford.
Yes brother, thank you very much!
I hope you make it here one day! I'm sure you will!
@@UltimateBucketList Thank you so much for replying to me my brother...how much are tickets sold for example during a derby, FA match,

I actually went to this game on a VIP tour, great experience.
Yeah, the VIP experience is fun.
Glory, glory, Man United!😁
Thanks for the video!
Indeed!
Love this club what an iconic stadium
Exactly!

Hi ultimate bucket list i loved your match day experience at old Trafford keep up the fantastic work
Thanks, I'll try and do more interesting stuff like this :)
i was there too!! the game against villa last season at OT. my first time visiting OT and it was amazing :)
Congratulations, hope you enjoyed it. Nice game, shame about the result.
Thanks for the in-depth video! I hope I can make a trip out there some day.
One day you will Enrique ... and I think you'll have an amazing time!
Be sure to check out my videos for more like this :)
I actually love this channel I’m a season ticket holder I just want football to be back 😔
Yeah, me too!
Love Old Trafford, can’t wait until tomorrow night when I’m there.
Tip - don’t leave early, you’re gunna be in a lot of traffic anyway so you May as well stay and support United.
Tip - the best views are The Scoreboard end and Stretford end, behind the goals and as far back as you can get.
Stretford end is the best for atmosphere and views.
I could have got tickets, but cannot justify sitting in traffic for that long. As for your other tips ...
- I used to leave early to get the United train - it works. Now that I drive, it still works for me - I'm away from the ground before I'm stuck in the stairwell.
- I had my last season ticket in the Stretford end, behind the goals. Atmosphere great, but couldn't see shit. Hated it. Gave up the ticket.
Liked and subscribed. Great video very informative. I hope to go one day as well.
Thanks!
Quality videos, man. I just discovered your channel now, I missed football and decided to search for stadium tours. Keep it up (hopefully after this pandemic is over)
Thanks bro. Yeah, I'm hoping this ends quickly so we can go back to watching football, for sure!
@@UltimateBucketList killed a lot of quarantine free time watching a lot of your videos. As a fellow United fan, my fave was the Anfield tour. The looks on their faces seeing you wearing Utd shirt is priceless.
Ah thanks! In fairness, Liverpool were alright about it.
Rangers ... not so much.

I'm going to watch the greatest club in the world in April v Southampton. Museum Suite. I'm so excited and can't wait. Cool vid.
Cool, hope you have a good time.
The Museum suite isn't too bad - not a bad way to watch a game?
Makavelli77 so if you’re seeing the greatest club in the world, we know that you’re not seeing Manchester United.
Nice tour, I visited old Trafford recently and if you don't have a season pass the best way to watch Man United match and have a great seating view when going to non Premier league game, like a Europe league or EFL cup. you find very good seating in about 40 - 50 Pound.
Yes, cup tickets are easier to get, but it's still not straightforward.
Prices are definitely lower though.
@@UltimateBucketList tickets released to non season fans after 2-3 days and you can it, I bought EFL cup match this season for 20 Pond only
Yo man. Great video. I'm going to Old Trafford for the first time, to watch Man Utd - Everton in a couple of weeks and I'll defo use some of your tips!
Cool - thanks Sebastian hope this video helps!

Great video Ninh. Informative with handy tips. I’m from South Africa and looking forward to my first visit to Manchester and the total match day experience at Old Trafford in May 2023 for my birthday.
Thanks Craig, I'm glad this helps you plan your trip to Old Trafford.
I'm sure you'll have fun with the whole experience for your birthday. Hey, you'll probably see me there!
Enjoy! :)
great account of the old trafford experience, only thing i can correct you on for the normal paying fan there has been no increase for over 10 years & price range starts from £28.00. however this is for ticket holders. but great insight to the day out been doing it for 55 years myself. dont queue up at the blaze or the trafford go over to media city better bars & easier to get served i used to go in the dockyard every game when i lived in manchester (Eccles) but i now live in north wales & get in now & again i usually get a beer in the ground now which they have now reduced the price of a bottle from £5.00 to £3.00 so happy days on the concourse now.
Not for season tickets no ... but most of the seats are not season seats. My current season ticket (in the South Stand) works out at £44 per ticket. The same seat in member sale is anywhere between £58 and £63.
A few years ago, the most expensive general ticket was £55.
Member and general sale tickets have been increasing in price. So technically I was correct.
If you want the cheapest way to drink - Tesco across the street, buy a case for £10 a few hours before the match (before they put the alcohol curfew on). Done.
Planning on going to an Old Trafford match next summer, Im a huge Manchester United fan that lives in Mexico and I just realized its really though to get tickets. Hopefully I can get some, thank you for the vid!!
You're welcome. Yeah tickets at Manchester United aren't the easiest to get. If you know you're coming next season, it might be worthwhile to invest in membership so you're eligible to buy tickets?
Let me know if you need any more help.
@@UltimateBucketList I don’t know much about the memberships and I’m currently making my research on them, but will a lite membership (the cheapest one) do the job? I appreciate it
Yes, the Membership Lite is the bare minimum you need to be eligible to buy tickets.
Anfield and Old Trafford are easily the two most beautiful stadiums in English football, can’t beat either of them for their pure beauty and amazing atmosphere. Great video by the way, would love to go to a game with you as a Liverpool fan, would be a pleasure 👍
They really aren't. There's a lot of other stadiums that are far better looking than those two. Good places to watch football though.
Easily Spurs
One thing I will say as its always helped me, buy a membership with the club so then that way you can get a discount if you buy at the megastore
It's only a small percentage, and they already inflate their prices so the discount negates that. It's basically the same as paying retail elsewhere with the membership discount.
Cool video your channel is one of my favorite
Thanks bro, much appreciated!
I stayed in a hotel within a 15 minute walk from the stadium which is very easy to get to from the airport just a tram to stop after trafford bar then to Exchange quay where hotel is straight across the road from it.
Cool, I must admit because I live around here, I don't have much experience of the hotels. But yeah, it's an easy place to get to.
I don’t like Man United but I learned a lot about the club from this video. My suggestion for a next review would be my beloved Chelsea. Would love if you go there. Nevertheless it was another banger of a video!
Thanks Kristian, much appreciated!
I've no plans to go to London anytime soon but maybe one day!
That last bit with Wes was damn hilarious!
Yeah, he wasn't having it!
I take the train to Trafford bar stop and walk the rest of the way. About a mile but you get the atmosphere 👌
The new stop at Wharfside is the easiest tram stop now.
I was at that game and it was my first man u game and the atmosphere was great
The atmosphere has been better in days gone by. Playing Liverpool and City brings out the best in the fans.

Tysm this video was amazing and it helps me so much because I’m in Australia and we are going to England to watch a game because we will be on holiday
I hope you manage to get tickets to a United game - you'll love it here.
Be sure to watch my other videos if you're taking a trip around London / Manchester etc.
Good job guys! 👏
Thanks!
Great video I’m w Man U fan who goes to more or less every game cmon United
Thanks! And I try to go to most games, but recently time has gotten the better of me.
I'd love to watch a game there some day. I'm a United fan but I'm from Australia so it's a bit tricky lol. definitely on my bucket list when I'm in the UK.
Sure, if you do come to the UK - I hope you manage to catch a game!

I love the last bit, while you are here please say like and share on the video. Wes Brown "what" 😂❤😊🎉
Yeah - he wasn't for playing ball on that one. 😂
But Wes Brown is a top guy - you won't be disappointed if you meet him.
@@UltimateBucketList Great video.😃 I love your honesty, humor, and fun.
@@zoesmith1536 If you like this video, check out some of my others :)
I really miss this place I was there last year on 4th September in the disabled bays right in front of the away fans against arsenal o was a get time there I am in Nottingham so I don't get to see old Trafford a lot but that day when I went with my dad I will remember and love that day Man United old Trafford stadium is the place to be 👍👍 come on united
I'm glad you had a good time here at Old Trafford.
Ironically, the disabled bays you sat in used to be a seated area, where I had my first season ticket.
One day you'll be back here! 👍
Yeah we won the tickets on a competition yeah one day mate
hey man they've stopped running the trains direct the the ground now due to safety concerns
I can believe that. Before I drove, I used to ride that thing all the time. So much easier!
Would love to go back to Old Trafford one day.
It's probably not changed all that much since the last time you went.
Great video Ninh although I’m a Chelsea fan! That’s cool you met Wes Brown. Was he a nice guy? I’ll look forward to the next football related video!
Yeah Wes Brown was a nice guy. I've met his wife before, so we were talking about her and his kids rather than football. But yeah, this happens on most weekend match days. Most of the time I don't bother, but for videoing purposes, I thought it'd be cool to add that in.
ua-cam.com/video/2AtnohNOxm8/v-deo.html Tour Morumbi Stadium São Paulo FC. Brazil..
Great information, thank you! looking at coming across the pond to hit up a game and did not want to be sitting with the away crowd. Would have never known. As well as the process for buying tickets is a bit different than out west. Glad I came across this video.
Yes, getting American sports tickets are very different from English football - especially the big teams like United, Livepool, City and Arsenal.
I think it's because they're so popular (and the fans so violent) that they have to do it this way.
Appreciate the reply man, so lower north end sounds about right. Little more tame yet some cheering. Don’t mind paying since it’ll be since in a lifetime experience type of deal. So as long as a guy avoids that south corner where the away fans are. The corner opposite the Stratford end on the south side?
@@seganmansfield3071 that's correct yes. The South-East corner is where the the away fans sit, but honestly if you can get tickets to anywhere in the lower half of Old Trafford, your view is good.
@@UltimateBucketList perfect, appreciate it man, def needed that info. Thanks again and enjoy the year!
@@seganmansfield3071 you too bro!
well done for reaching 10k subscribers
Thanks. It's about time!
Fantastic video my friend, I was over at the Partizan game. It's a must-do. The place is magical. It was so good to see some old sites on this video and also learning new things. I didn't know about the lowry shopping center. I didn't know you could meet a legend also. Where is that? Where also are they building the new metro stops? I didn't see them actually. Yes, there is a lot of stairs, I was in N42 plenty of stairs.
Thanks, I appreciate that.
- The Lowry shopping centre is across the bridge over the water, across from the Imperial War Museum. It's a cool place to hang out before the games especially if you don't like the hooliganism vibe that you get at the other pubs. Plenty of places to eat and drink in there.
- Meet a Legend, right next to the ticket office, northwest corner of the stadium.
- They're building new metro stops on Trafford Wharf Road and/or Wharfside way - which is a lot handier to use than some of the others. I suspect it'll be packed though.
- Those stairs man ... there's a lot!
@@UltimateBucketList Awesome, I shall check it out next time I'm at Old Trafford. Oh yes, I know it now. They didn't have that when I was there for some reason. I actually was near Trafford Wharf as I was in the Trafford center that day also. Oh yes definitely, Old Trafford is good but the rest is a bit far away.
You've inspired me to make a video on what it's like to go to a GAA match.
You should definitely do a video on going to a match as an away fan
I'll consider it. Thanks.
This channel is so underrated so so you deserve 1 million subscribers at least
Yeah I totally do! Thanks :)
I went to Bournmeth at UTD last year between Christmas and New year's. Hoping next time I go to get into the Stratford end
It's a great atmosphere, but I hope you like standing. Everyone stands all game.
You should come to Celtic park for a match day the atmosphere is electric ⚡️ 🍀
Sure! If someone can give me an Old Firm ticket for free!
Will you visit the Allianz Arena in Munich also?
As a Bayern fan would I like to see you do a tour there :)
Great videos btw
I certainly would! That's definitely on my list of places.
And thanks! I appreciate that.
I'm going for the first time since 2004 for the Southampton match next month. I can't freaking wait! Best way to get a ticket is join the membership then join some of the Facebook ticket groups
Membership yes.
Ticket groups on Facebook - watch out!
I know the guys who work at Manchester United who join these groups intentionally to weed out ticket touts. They can disqualify your ticket with a flick of a button, so proceed with caution.
@@UltimateBucketList noted. Mines been vouched for among group members and is sat in my website account
@@SingingPhatpants you won't know they've disqualified your ticket until you turn up and it doesn't work at the turnstile. So if you bought one that was openly advertised, just hope and pray it works. Good luck!
@@UltimateBucketList thanks. It's a risk. I paid by PayPal so I can claim money back
On the topic of it being cold I sit in the executive area on the north stand and the north stand is best on the second and third tiers on the first row due to the fact that there is a wall that works as a wind block
Yes, that's true. But that's only the first row ... there's plenty of other rows that don't have that.
I just got a ticket to South Stand again. Very happy with the location.
Great video 🔥
Thanks man.

@@Jason1930. what
Thanks.
Do you know if they plan to increase the stand opposite you to another tier? it looks a bit asymmetrical to me at the moment. Cheers. Best wishes
They've been wanting to do that for decades. The problem is the existing train line and the houses directly behind the south stand. United would effectively need to buy them all and move the train line somehow. Or find an ingenious way to build around it.
I went recently as a neutral and this video sums up my experience 😂
Wait I was in that same block
🤣
Yes, they put real football fans (people like me and you) way up there in the nosebleeds. The corporate douchebags get the good seats.
Best way to exit Old Trafford on the tram is walk past the tram stop next to the cricket ground and have a ten minute walk down to Firswood, always go that way
I'd say you're correct, though I've never been that way myself.
Also the quadrant is a good pub which is the other side of the cricket ground
It's okay, I've been there before. I come into Old Trafford from Salford and there's many different places top drink way before you get to the Cricket ground. So unless I'm meeting a friend there, I generally don't venture anywhere south of the Trafford pub.
We used to park that way as easy to get away via chorlton
"Oh hello there" 😂😂
Indeed.
Good vid, I was wondering if you would ever be going to newcastle unt stadium?
Yes I would. Just need to get there first.
@@UltimateBucketList could you do mestalla stadium, valencia
You should come to the states. I’d say Portland Timbers is a great suggestion as I’ve been a few times and sitting with the Timbers Army is amazing
Yeah, I'd love to!

hey there, thanks for this video. i myself managed to snap up two tickets in this tier N4405, first row for next season games against luton and bournemouth.
however i wondering if i will get a full view of the pitch when seated, or will the handrails slightly obstruct it 😅
Hi, well done for getting tickets! NN4405 is right at the top tier of the North Stand, and out of all the stands up there, you've probably got probably the best seats available. You'll get a full unobstructed view of the pitch on the front row, but you might find that you're a significant distance away. If the railing is in the way, just lean forward so your head is over the railing ... problem solved. 😀
cheers mate, when i first set foot outside Old Trafford as a boy in 2010, told myself I will be back to watch a game. Well, fast forward to years later, had the chance to do my masters here and of course wanted to catch as many games as possible. So far the record stands as 4 games 3 losses 😅
Hey I love your channel. I’m from the US and have gotten into football quite a bit these past years. My bucket list item is to travel and go to a game at old Trafford. Is there any way to buy single game tickets? Or do you absolutely have to be a member to attend a game?
Hi Ryan, thanks for stopping by.
- Cup games are your best bet for buying tickets as a non-member. They're usually significantly cheaper too. So watch out for Carabao Cup and FA Cup games, as they tend to be the cheapest. European matches tend to be more expensive, but you can still buy them as a non-member.
- It's the regular League games that you definitely have to be a member for. Having said that, if they don't sell all their tickets in a certain period of time (i.e. with a few days left to go) - they'll open them up for sale to non-members - but at this point you have to be quick because those things go fast.
Hope that helps?
Ultimate Bucket List that helps. Thank you! This video was really helpful. My wife and I are ecstatic to go here one day soon.
you should go to an afl game at the mcg...when the afl season starts again
I'd love to. Go Bombers!
ua-cam.com/video/2AtnohNOxm8/v-deo.html Tour Morumbi Stadium São Paulo FC. Brazil..
hey mate, I'll be coming to manchester next year should I buy my ticket through online or just trying chances to get a ticket on matchday and maybe it's vs west ham
I think if you're coming all that way, just follow the process. Get membership and then apply for West Ham tickets. They release them at certain periods.
If that fails, there are always ticket outs trying to flog you tickets outside the ground, but you will get ripped off.
Thanks for your video mate. I’m from the Netherlands and i’m going to manchester united - barcelona in februari. Any tips how to get from the airport to the city center/stadium. Is it expensive to get a taxi or is it better to just go by train. I reckon the popular pubs will be packed this day, any reccomendations on a good local pub which won’t be that packed? Already heard that you shouldn’t go to three legs of men as an outstander. Greetz
Thanks for stopping by, hopefully you've found this video helpful. 👍
The two fastest ways to get from the airport to the stadium is
a) Taxi - this'll take 20 minutes, but it'll cost you quite a bit of money, as taxi's are not cheap here.
b) Use the trams (called the 'Metrolink'). There's a tram station at the airport and you'll need to take it to a station called 'Trafford Bar'. Takes 30-40 minutes and it's relatively cheap (about £3-£4 single journey).
Pubs: every pub within the vicinity of the stadium is packed. The worst queues are at the Bishop Blaize and the Trafford, so try the OTSC at Hotel Football.

Thanks, really useful because me and my mates are planning to go to the Grand Final if Wigan make it and we're only 14 so awful with travel
I can tell you now Wigan aren't making the Grand Final this year.
They are woeful at the moment.
@@UltimateBucketList More chance of me scoring a champions league hat trick vs Cheltenham Town but I can hope
Great video! I’ve got a question for you I want to buy tickets but I don’t want to buy the membership because I don’t go there regularly and I live in Edinburgh which takes 6 hours by bus and 4 hours by car 4 hours by train, so what should I do?
Wait for cup games (Carabao Cup, FA Cup), as they're the ones that go on general sale where you don't need membership to buy. Especially if they're playing a 'nobody team' - they're usually the cheapest tickets too (prices start from £20).
As for getting here, Take a Virgin train to Manchester Piccadilly (2 hours), then take the metro outside the station to any of the tram stops outside the ground (about 20 minutes). Getting away from the ground is more painful as everyone will be queuing for the metro, so be prepared to leave early OR plan your return journey waaaaay after the match has finished.
Thank you 😊
Hey man!
Is it possible to get ticket from counter at Old Trafford?
Are the tickets available only on Matchday at counter? or u can come and buy ticket for any match?
You can try! But most of the time, tickets are only available online and the ticket office only sells tickets that travel companies don't want. It's just luck if you get a ticket at the ticket office.
Thank u. Im going in january 2022 to watch the manunited play villa
Hope you enjoyed the game. 1-0 United!
best place to sit is top tier in stretford end, however, i am 4 rows from the front in the east stand for the city game on tuesday, hopefully the atmopshere isnt horrendous.
The atmosphere may be good, but the sightlines are terrible. I gave up my season ticket in the Stretford End.
I'm on the halfway line North Stand for the City game. That should be decent.
@@UltimateBucketList For me the atmosphere is one of the main reasons i go to go games which is why i always sit in stretford end. I've never actually sat in the North Stand.
Hey as a match going fan, I did enjoy your video... it was pretty thorough. However, your tip about leaving early is almost scandalous. Would you leave the cinema 3mins before it finished or the theatre even??? Surely as a fan it’s about supporting the team for the duration and not being worried about being stuck in traffic. I’m pretty sure if there are any day trippers watching this video, who are planning to visit O.T. it’s probably for their first time. I’d strongly advise staying til the end.
You also advise that the megastore prices are a rip-off but the street vendors are poor quality.... hmm?
Anyways, overall I enjoyed your video. Keep up the good work!!!
Well, that's just my opinion and I'm entitled to as such. As a season ticket holder, I missed the grand total of 1 goal because I decided to leave in dead stoppage time. One. And it didn't matter to the scoreline.
If 3 minutes is the difference between spending 45 mins to an 1 hour being stuck in traffic (for a 1 hour drive home), I'd leave every single time.
Tourists can stay if they like. People who live nearby can stay if they like. For busy people with better things to do than be stuck in traffic, this is a solid suggestion.
Yes, Megastore prices are a rip off. Street Vendors are poor quality. You want proper merchandise? Go to a normal retail store, like SportsDirect or JD. That's what everyone else does.
And thanks.
Hi, how is the traffic like after the game? We have to rush to the airport after the game :/
Pretty terrible! You'll have to leave a little early before the game finishes, otherwise you won't be able to get onto any tram or road that'll take you to the airport. Hope that helps?
I went to old Trafford (even though I’m an Everton fan) and I went into one of the boxes there and the experience was actually really good.
The luxury boxes are alright, but certainly not worth the money you paid for them.
The boxes at New White Hart Lane however, are superb!
Might try those then.
5:40 "and you generally don't get the hooligan types here" - LOL
You don't ... it's a shopping mall.
You want the hooligans? Go to the Bishop Blaze or the Trafford pubs.
Hi you should go to a Sunderland game I know there in league 1 but the atmosphere is amazing probably better than some premier league clubs
I'll consider it. ua-cam.com/video/uyMJ-Pj0VOE/v-deo.html
Can you go to next years super league grand final?
I would love to see a vlog on that
Incidentally, I was going to make one about this years final. I ended up not going because I got lazy!
Ultimate Bucket List Oh Ok, I understand

hi mate I'm a fan but I've always been worried about visiting the stadium due to noise levels that could damage hearing. Is that an illogical anxiety or do you think there is some possibility of tinnitus etc
You've got nothing to worry about ... Old Trafford is a quiet place unless you're sat in the Stretford End ... and even then, it's not so bad.
You'll be absolutely fine, hearing wise.
Hey mate, not sure if you will see this, but just wanted to ask where the best pub would be to watch a Man United away fixture in Manchester? Do most pubs show it?
Hi pal. To be honest, most pubs in Manchester will show City and United games, as it's a massive earner and brings people to the pubs.
If you want a safe environment surrounded by United fans, find a typical United pub like The Bishop's Blaize or even Hotel Football.
@@UltimateBucketList Appreciate the reply legend! Coming from Australia and very keen!
You should come to craven cottage !!
Maybe if I'm around there.
This was from two days ago. How long is it usually between the time you record the video and when you post it?
Depends on the video and my schedule. Some can be turned around in days, some take years! (No seriously)
Ultimate Bucket List years?!
Great video! I suggest that you come to Green Bay Wisconsin and go to a game with me
I'd love to! I missed out on Packers tickets in London this year, so I'll just have to fly to Green Bay instead!
@@UltimateBucketList I’m going to two games, the jets and packers and my cowboys and packers
@@ericryan1340 nice! I too am a Cowboys fan. How 'bout them Cowboys?!
@@UltimateBucketList so I went to the game in Minnesota and the last game of the season in Dallas last year! HOW BOUT THEM! so the boys play in Green Bay and a week later in Minnesota and I live about 2 and a half hours from both stadiums and I’m thinking about doing the double because heck you only live once. You should come over and make 2 videos
@@ericryan1340 hell yeah! That'd be a sweet idea. I've already been to Dallas, but to do a Green Bay / Vikes game would be stellar!
Hey, you're a lot closer to the action than me ... take full advantage whilst you can!
Hello, I plan on going this upcoming season. I Olán on going with my friend, do we both need to make an account or can I buy 2 tickets off of one account?
Hi Oscar.
It depends if it's for a league game or not.
Cup games are usually easy to get, as they're available to anybody, whether you have a membership account or not. They're usually the cheapest tickets too, with prices starting at just £20 for Adults.
League games on the other hand are tougher to get. You definitely have to be a member and you can only buy tickets for yourself. So if you and your friend want to see a league game, you'd both have to buy membership and you'd both have to buy a ticket through your membership. Prices start from £36 up. They release a small number of tickets to non-members on the day, but you have to go to the ticket office and hope and pray they have some. It's basically luck if you get it or not.
Hope that helps?
5:38 damn that’s the busiest I’ve seen the Lowry
Hahaha, good one.
Do you need a membership to buy from ticket office ?as in turn up matchday buy last minute
No, you don't need membership if you're going on the day at the last minute.
But it's rare that tickets are still available at that point.
The best way to guarantee tickets is to buy membership and buy the tickets weeks in advance.
@@UltimateBucketList cheers yeah over summer i visited as sister moved to manchester could not get a tour so defo might get a membetship. But got a bargain in mega store as was 70 percent off old training wear end of season. Nice info ad im guessing mideeek cup games shoukd be finefrom ticket office to. Saves the one unitrd fee if going only once a season .
I haven't been since the late 80s its changed alot
It certainly has - though I think the general upkeep of the stadium leaves a lot to be desired.
Yeah I was at this game
So was I

One thing is sometimes don’t leave early as u might miss a goal such as McTominay’s goal vs City
Maybe. But that's two late goals in two seasons at United. Hardly worth being stuck in M60 traffic for.
Ultimate Bucket List fair enough I just wanna never miss a goal
