Manchester UNited Football Club
May 14^th, 2006 at 8:37pm

Hi!
I wonder if anyone can help me?
I've tried all the advice given to find a phone number but no luck so far.

I'm looking for MUFC's ticket information number the one they give out is 0870 757 1968
If you have to ring it regualrly and they keep you on for a good few minutes every time, it costs a small fortune!

Manchester is 0161, but there doesnt seem to be any straight to the ticket information line and I don't think i could get away with phoning switchboard every time i wanted to buy a ticket because it would be nearly every week during the season and sometimes more.

MUFC postcode is M16 0RA

If you help me anyone, i would be eternally grateful!

Thanks
V

192.com search reveals:

Switchboard: 0161 868 8000 (in the database already)
Cafe: 0161 868 8303
Megastore: 0161 868 8567

The chances are neither of those numbers will transfer you to the ticket line because they'll be wise to this.

The best chance you've got, if you do want to ring them, is try numbers from 0161 868 8000 upwards. So try random numbers beginning 0161 868 8xxx and you may get their ticket line.

I think this is just for home tickets though isnt it Jamie? Undecided

I'm wondering about the domestic and European aways, as far as i'm aware you can only apply over the phone?!

I have joined your post onto the existing thread for Man U.

What is this number for? If it's for tickets, are they sold by the club or do they use an outside provider such as TicketMaster? If it's in house, then I suggest that the direct number for the box office will be similar to the switchboard: 0161 86880xx and maybe higher depending on how many extensions they have.

A quick glance of the terms and conditions doesn't reveal anything to suggest that the club has a third party sell its tickets. So the 0870 is probably routed directly to the ground, and the switchboard operatives are presumably under orders not to put fans through to the ticket office.
