Hi
I’m an Official member but it says I’m not eligible to apply for tickets but you say we can. Is it actually just season ticket holders who can apply?
Ring united up and do it over the phone mate
Seems to be a problem with the official website as they released ballot information today, season ticket holders and executive members can apply through the website but they have yet to activate the official members options. As Ed says, phone them up for direct membership application but their website should allow members to apply soon.
Hi Sean,
I have applied for 2 tickets as a standard member and I haven’t even renewed it for next season yet.

Hello! Im From Slovakia, so i dont own any membership or season ticket, but i´ll be in England at that time and I´d love to go to Wembley, I´ve been to OT in March for the first time, and i need another dose of Live United Experience, so, please, what´s the best way to get tickets then? Taking chances only with genereal sale is quite risky, i guess, it´d be better for me to have some “insurance”.. Thanks for any advice!
Keep on eye on this article and the twitter account Lukas, this fixture, as stated above will more than likely go on general sale.
Will every season ticket holder who applies get them?
Yes Callum, every season ticket and executive member should be allocated a ticket. In past community shield’s they have gone on general sale, that includes against Chelsea and Manchester City, so a friendly inside Wembley Stadium against Wigan Athletic will be no different.
You got an idea of where the different band tickets are allocated in the stadium?
Hi ,I’m a new member to the club and I want to apply for the tickets but the site said “you are not eligible to apply for tickets on this event for this time”
[…] FA has confirmed that Manchester United will receive a ticket allocation of 35,000, while Wigan Athletic will have just […]
Community Shield 2013 kick-off now confirmed as 2pm BST – http://www.redmancunian.com/2013/06/10/community-shield-date-and-kick-off-time-confirmed/
If the tickets go on general sale, where can I buy them from? The united site still?
Yes John, they usually do them over the phone and a maximum of 4 per person on general sale, but we would imagine that they will put that up to 6 per person this year.
We will let you know here, in a new article and also via our twitter networks of @RedMancunian and @MUFC_Tickets once tickets go on general sale.

Hi I’m from Saudi arabia and I want tickets for the game if I can get them from the united website or by calling them ( if yes can you give the number ) do I have to be a member
Hi, I’m an official member and trying to get two tickets for the CS, but won’t allow me as a I need to ‘assign’ a name/number for the 2nd ticket. Any idea what I should do? Are they likely to go on general sale, and if they do, it will be the higher tier seats left, so not sire whether to risk the wait? Many thanks!
