Visitor information for the Manchester United Stadium

The gates at Old Trafford open two hours before kick-off on match days. It is generally worth being there early, as almost all matches are completely sold out. This means that there can be long queues at the turnstiles.

To ensure that you can get into the Manchester United stadium without any problems, you should not take any large bags or rucksacks with you. These must be stowed in the luggage lockers in advance and are not allowed in the stands. There are separate controls at the entrance that are reserved for women only. As a man, you cannot take a shortcut here to get to Old Trafford more quickly.

There are over 500 seats for disabled fans at Old Trafford. Here you can choose between seats directly on the touchline or those in the upper tier. Accessible lifts at the Red Devils’ stadium also give you a bird’s eye view of the action from a wheelchair.

In addition to the 278 wheelchair spaces, there are also a further 278 comfort seats for people with visual impairments, walking difficulties or mental disabilities. This means that all Red Devils fans get their money’s worth in every respect and can cheer on their team live at Old Trafford.

VIP tickets for Old Trafford

As befits a legendary stadium, there are of course numerous VIP and hospitality areas at Old Trafford. It’s not just those fans who want to enjoy a very special football experience who flock here. Legends such as Sir Alex Ferguson can also be found here regularly. The suites are particularly exclusive.

• Treble Suite: You can expect a 5-course gourmet menu with steak as the main course and a fully stocked bar with champagne. There is a special entertainment programme for all guests before kick-off and after the match.
• Warwick Suite: The Warwick Suite is less luxurious, but of course still high quality. Here you can help yourself to the snack buffet and watch the match from cushioned seats in the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand.

Alternatively, you can also opt for a visit to “The International” or the Red Café. The tickets for these are cheaper and usually less popular. So even as an occasional visitor to Old Trafford, you can enjoy the hospitality services.

Interesting facts about Old Trafford

Old Trafford has a rich history dating back to 1910. At that time, Manchester United was experiencing its first sporting success and the stadium on Bank Street, which had been in use until then, was deemed unsuitable by the owner at the time. Old Trafford was originally intended to have a capacity of 100,000, but the construction costs were too high and so the arena opened in 1910 with “only” 80,000 seats.

Since the opening match vs. Liverpool, Old Trafford has been extensively renovated seven times and is now one of the most modern stadiums in England. In 1995, the 30-year-old North Stand was demolished and rebuilt, and since the 2000s all stands in the Manchester United Stadium have also had an upper tier.

The Sir Alex Ferguson Stand is the main stand in the stadium and is named after the legendary successful coach. The stand was given its new name on 5 November 2011, shortly after which a statue of the former coach was unveiled on the outer wall. Between the East and South Stands, it is also worth taking a look at the façade of Old Trafford. Here hangs the Munich Clock, which commemorates the sad plane crash in the 1950s in which eight of the club’s players lost their lives.

Old Trafford hosted matches including the 1966 World Cup and the 1996 European Championship. In 2003, the Manchester United Stadium also hosted the final of the Champions League. The Olympic Games in soccer and the Women’s World Cup 2022 were also partly held at the Theatre of the Dreams.

The journey to Old Trafford

Old Trafford is located in the west of Manchester and is generally relatively easy to reach via the A56 from the city centre. However, there is a lot of traffic on match days and the club proactively informs fans to allow plenty of time. On-site parking is only possible if you have booked a parking space in advance. This is possible directly via the Manchester United website when you buy tickets for a home match.

Alternatively, you can of course also travel by public transport. The “Red” train line takes you to within a few minutes’ walk of the stadium and leads out of Manchester city centre. You can also take the number 250 bus to Sir Matt Busby Way and walk to the stadium via the Red Rose Bridge.
