@MufcWonItAll2 @ManUtd These are the row behind the seats we were kicked out of as season ticket holders last month. £61 a game.

I'll tell you what else is "Suspicious Activity" - selling tickets at hospitality prices, but without the hospitality. You may have seen Virgin Experience Days selling United tickets without hospitality, which is permitted under the Official Reseller contract. How is a £500 package for two basic £45/55 East Stand tickets with zero food or drink perks "100% official"? Follow the money to see who is actually profiting off fans: - Manchester United: Instead of putting these seats in the general ballot at £45–£60 face value, the club sells bulk blocks to commercial brokers at inflated contract rates (£150–£200+ per seat). The club makes 3x–5x more per seat while stripping general allocation from real fans. - Wholesale Brokers: Middlemen buy these commercial allocations from the club, slap on a 20–30% margin, and distribute them to retail platforms. - Retail Platforms (e.g. Virgin Experience Days): They list the seats, process the transaction, and pocket a 15–25% retail commission. The result? A match-going supporter pays £250 per seat for a basic £45/60 ticket. Business after business makes money, whilst the club will threaten Season Ticket Holders with bans for transferring a ticket to a friend at cost, while quietly offloading thousands of standard seats to corporate brokers to make millions on the side. Absolute double standard. ref: virginexperiencedays.co.uk/product/manche…

MUFC Account Restrictions: Key Observations, Legal Flaws, and Tactical Advice Over the last few days, I have reviewed numerous rejection emails sent to supporters regarding account restrictions. Having analysed these responses, here are my key observations and practical advice on how to fight back. Firstly, based on a detailed analysis of an email I was forwarded, it is extremely likely that this response was generated using AI (or heavily drafted using an AI template) and then possibly reviewed by a legal or compliance officer. 1. Document the Rushed Responses ("Procedural Unfairness") Pay close attention to the timestamp between sending your initial appeal and receiving the club's rejection. I've seen emails returned in under 90 minutes stating: "We have carefully considered the explanation you provided, together with the findings of our investigation. Following this review, we have concluded that the restriction on your account will remain in place." It is completely unbelievable that a thorough, individualised, and "careful" investigation, cross-referencing telemetry logs, device IDs, and appeal explanations, was conducted within 90 minutes, and that the reply was written. This indicates an automated, predetermined outcome and a total lack of due process, and the use, as stated above, of AI-generated responses. Advice: Record these exact timestamps. This rubber-stamping is crucial evidence of administrative failure if you take your case to the Independent Football Ombudsman (IFO) or pursue legal action. 2. Submit a Subject Access Request (SAR) Immediately The club is using vague, boilerplate language to reject appeals without actually telling supporters what they have done wrong. Rejection emails routinely include paragraphs like these: "In reaching our decision, we considered the wider pattern of activity associated with your account, including the nature and extent of connections between accounts, Strong Relationships, ticket applications and transactions, ticket usage and other indicators identified through the Club's detection and analysis processes." "While you explained that access to your account was provided solely to facilitate legitimate away ticket applications and ticket forwarding for your supporter group, your response did not satisfactorily explain the wider pattern of activity identified during our investigation. When considered collectively, the scale, frequency and nature of the activity were not consistent with the limited account administration described in your response." Notice that neither paragraph specifies an actual, proven rule breach by the individual. They rely entirely on secret algorithms and vague "indicators." Advice: You must force them to hand over the data behind these claims. Submit a formal Subject Access Request (SAR) under UK GDPR immediately. (See my SAR guide and template here: x.com/OhCheesesChris…). 3. The Club’s Misapplication of Contract Terms and Law One core argument the club is using against match-going groups this season is phrased as follows: "By providing another person with access to your account, including your username and password, you also provided them with access to and control over any tickets held within it. The Club's Ticketing Terms and Conditions state that tickets are personal to the registered Ticket Holder and may only be used, transferred or shared through the Club's authorised processes." This argument is legally defective. Equating shared login access with an unauthorised ticket transfer is a complete misapplication of contract law. - Theoretical Access vs. Actual Breach: The club’s published Terms & Conditions strictly prohibit the actual transfer, resale, or unauthorised use of match tickets. In contract law, having the theoretical ability or permission to access an account is not legally equivalent to performing an unauthorised ticket transfer. - Lack of Evidence: The club has produced zero telemetry proof, whether via digital wallet provisioning, stadium turnstile scans, or transfer logs, showing that a ticket was downloaded, transferred, or scanned by anyone other than the registered ticket holder. - Administrative Convenience vs. Ticket Misuse: Allowing a trusted coordinator or family member to manually log in to submit a joint away application or navigate known website glitches during renewals is an administrative convenience, not a ticket transfer. Restricting an account based on an assumed, unproven breach, without producing telemetry proof of actual ticket misuse, violates basic contractual principles under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. This alone creates strong grounds for a legal challenge or a complaint to Trading Standards. 4. What to Put at the End of Your Stage 2 Appeal When submitting your Stage 2 appeal, do not accept their vague assertions. Use firm, formal language and explicitly link your appeal to your SAR. You should receive an official acknowledgement email once your SAR is submitted. Closing text you should consider using: The club's published Terms and Conditions prohibit the actual transfer or unauthorised use of match tickets, not administrative access to coordinate joint applications. You have produced zero evidence showing that any ticket associated with my account was downloaded, transferred, or used by anyone other than myself. I request that: - My account restrictions be immediately removed. - My Stage 2 appeal remain formally open pending the full fulfilment of my Subject Access Request, should you refuse to reinstate my account immediately.

There seem to be a lot of people whose account restrictions are being upheld. I’ve only seen one that hasn’t been so far. All this comes with no real direction or confirmation on what the supporter has actually done. For anyone who can’t understand the reasoning due to

Forwards done Bruno dirty again today 🙄

@danmellett They are a different breed. There’s no excuses or reasoning as to how that club have shown themselves up over this youth cup final. I know plenty of blues who are embarrassed by it all.

Remember when this lot used to say Manchester was blue and everyone outside of Manchester believed them? 😂😂 They’re in a title race and their tickets for the penultimate home game of the season are on GENERAL SALE with 3 tickets each. 1000s still available. The game’s tomorrow.

#mcfc are now selling tickets at four per member for the youth cup final. It’s becoming more and more obvious why they moved it to that glammed up cowshed across the road. @OhCheesesChrist

Surely this is an FA decision or at least should be?

#MUFC offered to host FA Youth Cup final at Old Trafford, with #MCFC unable to schedule at Etihad. City declined, insisting on 7,000-capacity Joie Stadium. Major disappointment at missed opportunity for similar scenes to 2022 final when 67,000 attended ⬇️ nytimes.com/athletic/72559…

You’ve got the best two youth teams in England meeting in the FA Youth Cup final. The idea that it’s played in a 6,000 capacity stadium at MCFC is such a shame. 60,000 would watch this game if it was done right.

@Rory_Tealeaf Suss injury time played there. Watched it. Rochdale scored with about 5 seconds of injury time to go then York equalised 2/3 minutes into the restart. Like watching PL.

@danmellett Agree.

Alex Ferguson was at Manchester United for 26.5 years & never embraced Manchester, the club or the culture as much as Pep Guardiola has Manchester City. Just another reason to call him the greatest of all time! 🩵👑

All this City/LFC love in at the end knocks me sick. Players and managers hugging each other like long lost brothers. Give me pizzas getting thrown and Keano trying to kill Vieira any day of the week…

As we spent nearly two hours reaching out for help from @bookingcom and being intimidated by the on site manager and owner. But we were in the wrong and have lost money overall… will be moving away from using booking.com and #tropicalbay in #palolem

A deluxe triple room booked with @bookingcom for myself, boyfriend and sister to sleep in. Guess they were expecting me to be piggy in the middle? Then forcing us to pay £130 to cancel the booking on the day, but gave us £40 credit as compensation. Someone help me with the maths?
