I'd like to take my 8 year old daughter to see ManUtd play this summer. Of course, my wife thinks it a terrific waste of money (tickets, hotel, airline). So, does anybody have 2 extra tickets for any of the stops (other than LA) that they want or need to get rid of, for a reasonable price? Long-shot I know, but thanks.

Sorry I don't have any extra, but I would definitely try eBay, or worst case a ticket broker, which would probably be a ripoff.

Good luck, and hope to see you there!

Talk about rip off, I've looked on eBay and people are selling tix for $200 a piece!

LOL!

Most of these ticket prices being mentioned are after ticket touting scalper markups. You could score tickets to Old Trafford for less - if you knew the right people.

I think the money to be made from the tour itself will hopefully be dwarfed by the exposure we could receive by cracking the US market...

It always helps to keep money coming in the coffers, but we are not going broke anytime soon.

Unlike Real Madrid, we actually balance our books.

If only we could all be subsidized by our national government...

Maybe if we changed the name to Royal Manchester. ;)

I know that Vancouver Whitecaps of the A-League had a deal that if you bought season tickets, you could buy a Man U ticket in Seattle. I am not sure if it would be worth it to by both, but it is worth looking into. Their web site is as follows:
