Man United’s Season Ticket Waiting List Has Dissolved

Season tickets in the Premier League cost a pretty penny these days, especially at stadiums like Anfield and Old Trafford. But there is also big demand, and so several Premier League clubs have sold out of season tickets. This list includes Arsenal, Blackpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Spurs, and notably does not include Manchester United. So much for that waiting list we all heard about last season.

The club is making some statements on tickets and attendance that just don’t seem to add up. Here are the numbers – you do the math yourselves. At the end of last season, United reported a 24,000-person waiting list for season tickets. Now, a day before the season starts, seats are still available. United has reported that no more than a few current season ticket holders have failed to renew. And yet, again, tickets remain.

Is it anti-Glazer sentiment keeping the fans away? Is it the economy? Have expectations for the season cooled off? Whatever the reason, that blue team across town must be enjoying the rare situation of having sold all their seats while some remain at Old Trafford. And all it took was a few dozen million pounds in transfer fees.
