Youth Cup ticket sales pass stunning landmark
ArticleWith 63,000 fans expected at Old Trafford, sales now exceed the capacity of all other British club stadiums.
TICKET INFORMATION
Over 67,000 tickets for our FA Youth Cup Final have been sold and sales are now closed, meaning tickets will not be available for purchase at Old Trafford tonight.
Manchester United want to thank our fans for rallying behind our Under-18s as they attempt to win a record 11th FA Youth Cup title for the club.
Over 5,000 Nottingham Forest fans will also play their part on what promises to be a special night.
At 67,000, the attendance will be three-quarters higher than the previous Youth Cup record (38,187 for Arsenal v United at the Emirates in the 2007 semi-final).
It will also be higher than any Premier League fixture away from Old Trafford this season; only Wembley will see bigger attendances in the UK this season.
Priced at £1 each, ticket sales have raised vital funds for Manchester United Foundation, which creates opportunities for disadvantaged young people across Greater Manchester.
Please ensure you either download your tickets to your mobile phone or digital wallet before you arrive at the ground and that your device has sufficient battery with the brightness turned up when scanning your ticket.
Alternatively, if you are planning to print your tickets at home, please ensure you have printed all of the tickets for your group and that you have only printed each ticket once.
