NEW AWAY TICKET SCHEME ANNOUNCED

Last updated : 28 March 2003 By Editor
Of the 3’000 tickets usually received, 2’000 will go to
fans. 700 go to execs and 300 go to players and sponsors.

David Gill has outlined the basis of the new loyalty scheme:

"Next season of those 2,000 tickets, 1,200 will go into the
'loyalty pot' and the names of those people who have applied
for every home ticket and every away game this season will
go into a ballot.

"The remaining 800 will go to everyone who has bought a cup
ticket for every home game this season.

"The issue we face is over the criteria for the loyalty pot
and how people move into it. We will base next season on
this season but what happens in 2004-05? It's very
difficult.

"There are roughly 21,000 season ticket holders who bought a
cup ticket for every home game at Old Trafford and the way
we had it this season, all of them could apply for tickets
to go to away games. People who would go into the loyalty
pot are those people who applied for tickets for every away
game this season. We are responding to the loyalty need but
the overall issue is one of limited supply."
