Manchester United: Old Trafford Stadium Guide
At Football Ticket Pad, we are proud to host a wide selection of the best Man United tickets available. With seating for all four sections of the ground to choose from.
If you have been to 'The Theatre of Dreams', which was famously branded by club icon Sir Boby Charlton, then you will have already had a first-hand experience of the world-famous atmosphere. Whether you have sat in the prestigious South Stand or amongst the Red Army in the Stratford End, you will know why the electric atmosphere at Old Trafford is famous the world over.
The 75,000-seater stadium is steeped in history and sells out every week. The Theatre of Dreams is a 'must visit' for any football supporter, and we can cater for your needs every step of the way. With a slew of tickets to choose from, including home, away and even VIP hospitality tickets at Old Trafford for every game this season, you don't miss a kick of the ball.
Away section seats are housed in the southeast section of the ground, and they are often quick to sell given the history and stature of Manchester United. Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal remain United's biggest rivals, and these are the tickets that almost every fan of football wants to get their hands on.
No trip to Old Trafford is complete without a visit to both the Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson statues. Both men are legends of the game and undoubtedly two of the greatest managers in football history.
The Sir Matt Busby Statue is placed outside the East Stand on Sir Matt Busby Way. The clock and plaque in remembrance of the Munich Air Disaster are just as poignant and form a special place at The Theatre of Dreams. Sir Alex Ferguson also had his statue erected in 2012 outside the North Stand, which was renamed in honour of the great manager following his 25th anniversary in charge of the club.
There is currently talk of renovating the stadium so it can accommodate over 80,000 football fans, but we’ll keep you updated if there is any more news.## Manchester United Tickets
Season/Members Cards: These are reserved seats that are available for every single home match at Old Trafford. Football Ticket Pad customers will receive their Season/Members Card before the game away from the stadium before returning them on the final whistle in a pre-paid envelope.
E-tickets: Manchester United tickets are only possible in the form of paper tickets and season cards; they do not carry any e-ticket option.
Paper tickets: This is the more traditional way of receiving your Manchester United tickets. Once your payment has been confirmed on Football Ticket Pad, your tickets are then sent out by post to the address provided in your payment.
Customers often receive their tickets 3–4 days before the match, and they will be sent an email confirmation once their tickets have been dispatched to their provided address. Ticket holders can then gain entry with their paper ticket at the turnstile and can keep the stub of their ticket as a memento of their trip.
Old Trafford Seating
West Stand/Stretford End: The Stretford End is renowned for its famous atmosphere, and United often attacks in this direction during the second half of their matches. The Stretford End houses the most passionate supporters, and it is here that fans can get a real taste of the passion that comes with supporting a club like Manchester United.
This is the main seating area in the stadium. The West Stand also has several Executive Boxes and a family seating area in the lower tier adjacent to the players' tunnel in the corner of the West and South stands.
Sir Alex Ferguson Stand/North Stand: This stand is perfect for fans with Manchester United tickets who want to watch the match amongst some of the most ardent United supporters. The three-tiered stand offers some of the best views in the stadium, with an unrestricted view of the playing area.
Longside Upper and Longside Lower tickets offer customers the chance to sit in the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand, and this is where Private Boxes and hospitality suites are located, including the Salford Suites and Manchester Suite.
East Stand: The East Stand holds almost 12,000 ticket holders and is located behind the goal, opposite the Stretford End. The East Stand is also commonly known as the Scoreboard End because this is where the scoreboard used to be located.
There is also a large disabled section and part of the away section is hosted in the corner of the upper tier. Football Ticket Pad supplies Shortside Upper, Shortside Lower, and Away Section tickets for this part of Old Trafford, and fans can enjoy an unrestricted view of the action.
Outside of the stand is a plaque in remembrance of the victims of the Munich disaster, with the Munich Clock at the junction of the East Stand and South Stand. A statue of George Best, Denis Law and Bobby Charlton is also opposite the Sir Matt Busby statue and the famous United trio is known as the club’s ‘Holy Trinity.’
Sir Bobby Charlton Stand / South Stand: Many would argue that United tickets in the South Stand offer the best views at the ‘Theatre of Dreams.’ The South Stand was renamed the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand’ in April 2016 in tribute to their record goalscorer and former director.
Despite being the smallest stand in the stadium, the Sir Bobby Charlton stand is full of history and atmosphere. The stand is the only part of Old Trafford that still contains parts of the original infrastructure from 1910, and Football Ticket Pad can offer supporters the chance to experience the famous atmosphere firsthand with their very own official Manchester United football tickets.## Manchester United Tickets Frequently Asked Questio
