The ones released this morning that I noticed all seemed to be restricted view. Block 528 had 1 ticket available yesterday but a few restricted view ones at 11am.
Occasional supporters have never had a need to buy membership before. My brother has purchase history (no membership), and under his own name has bought Man Utd away and Chelsea away tickets, amongst others, this season. He can’t buy an FA cup semi final ticket is his own name without buying...
You can’t buy bronze membership anymore (I haven’t checked YS). You can buy next season’s membership thing (a renamed bronze membership), and that allows you no guest tickets.
New membership does not allow you to buy guest tickets. Therefore a family of 4 who occasionally take their young children to a game face a membership (booking) fee of £80 before they’ve even bought any tickets. That’s nonsense.
You say no purchase history but the point is he/she could have lots of purchase history but has no right to buy a ticket for this game. You can buy tickets for almost any home game and quite a few away games now without membership. So it pretty much amounts to a £25 charge for one game.
I really don't understand why the final tickets aren't going on sale to purchase history.
Say for example there's a family with two young children who have been taken to a few games at the Amex and are starting to get interested. The FA Cup semi final would be a great game to go to but it...
As long as it’s the right age category I can’t see you having a problem. None of the guest tickets will have the ticket holders name (all in the season ticket / members name), and the guests could easily be in a totally different part of the ground to the purchaser.
