From the official site

'The family and friends of George Best have organised a service of remembrance which will celebrate, and give thanks for, his life at Manchester Cathedral on Thursday 16 March at 11:00 GMT.

Entrance to the Cathedral will be limited to ticket holders only and these will be issued free of charge and limited to a maximum of two per person.

It will be a strict condition of entry that only those registered as having been allocated tickets will be admitted.

It is anticipated that tickets will be heavily over-subscribed and in that event, a ballot will be held to determine the successful applicants.

Those wishing to apply should send a stamped addressed envelope to:

George Best Memorial Service
Ticketing & Membership Services
Manchester United Football Club
Old Trafford
Manchester
M16 0RA

The deadline for applications is Saturday 4 March.

It should be noted that all applications will be welcomed and not be restricted to supporters of Manchester United.'
