Arrived at Old Trafford 1 hour prior to opening time for concert, looking forward to get another Stones concert. Herded like cattle all around the houses to pick up tickets from booking office. Walk was lengthy, as were queues and as a result we missed the support musician. There were lots of people behind us in the queue and we would not have been the only ones to miss part of the concert. There was no warning we even needed to pick up hard copies of the tickets nor of the lengthy walk involved to do so. My husband who has problems walking any distance struggled with the length of the walk. Old Trafford are blaming Groupon who sold us the tickets for this, and have replied to my complaint in a disrespectful and patronising way. Nothing like passing the buck for their disgustingly poor organisation of this event!!! We will be not be attending events at Old Trafford in future. Why on earth would we pay to be treated in such a disrespectful way, and not receive what we had paid for anyway? Get your act together Old Trafford. You need to provide what people have paid for and also treat your customers with respect.

Visited Old Trafford for the first time as an away fan.

At first sight it's a reasonably imposing sight, but close up you see how old a stadium it really is.

Inside there is zero leg room, and you are almost sat on the knee of your neighbour. The concourses outside are far to narrow creating major congestion at half time. Queue's are processed so slowly you have no chance of leaving on h/t whistle, queuing and being back in time for kick off.

The home support is very poor. At times it is so quite it's hard to believe there are 80,000 people in there. Away support nearly always out sing the home 'support'. I guess this is the price you pay for being the ground being half full of tourists and people on corporate jollies.

Food looked reasonable quality and price (remember I didn't get time to sample it), but £42 for an away ticket is outrageous.

Wouldn't bother going again.

ive visited old trafford many times and i always thought atmosphere was very poor the catering tastes like it has been dragged in manchester ship canal for a week then cooked.
the hospitality is rather poor aswell. it is more of a stadium for familys and day trippers, not one for the die hard football fan.
it is like lego just bits stuck onto other bits..

and the prices for tickets is a mockery to the english workin man!
plus no leg room...

after visiting Old Trafford i have come to my conclusion regarding the atmosphere! i really couldn't find anything good to say about it. on arrival i was amazed by the smell that surrounded it, it somewhat smelt like a swamp. once you get in i feel the atmosphere was very poor! I studied English literature at Oxford university and can honestly say there was more noise in the library than Old Trafford. I have supported united for many years know but have never had the chance to visit that much as i live in London. i also feel that the players and certainly managerial staff looked under the weather. even though we lost on the day 2-1 to visiting side Manchester City i will definitely be visiting Old Trafford again to watch my beloved united.

Old Trafford is a large and modern stadium yet still manages to be fairly compact which helps with good views and can contribute towards a good atmosphere. Atmosphere does depend on who is playing, when, and most importantly which stand you sit in. It looks really impressive as you approach the ground from any direction. It looks smart, modern and imposing although, since its expension to 76000 the noise does not travel to outside the ground so you cannot her the singing as you approach like you could in the past. Sit in the Streford End (aka West Stand) on a Eurpoean night and hear the noise as you climb the many stairs, be amazed as the singing continues on the concourse and the roof is raised even in the toilets! This is the traditional stand of the United supporters. Ascend into the heights of the stand and you'll be buzzing. The opposite East stand is 2nd best for singing but not as loud. However, for the best views of the pitch you want to be in the North Stand, preferably near to one of the goal ends for increased atmosphere. Don't sit in the South Stand (where the dugouts are) unless you have taken a vow of silence. Its family friendly, women friendly and very safe. I've never seen any trouble and racism won't be tolerated by United regulars.

Great Ground, Great Club ,Great fans, Great football but go elsewhere for a decent pie.

I've been to old trafford twice in the past 12 months, to see chelsea v blackburn in the FA cup semi finals, and chelsea v man u at the beginning of this season. both times, i was hugley dissapointed with the ground itself, what with all the hype about its size and atmosphere, to me it looked large from the outside, but once in seemed small, cramped and unimposing, basically a letdown. As for the fans, they made something of a noise when man u were putting a quality move together, and were silent when they didn't have the ball or were playing poor.

Ultimatley, Old trafford was a huge let down for me. Whilst some Man Utd fans are sure to dispute this, i was expecting more, and, whilst it is still impressive, is no where near what i and many others imagined it to be.

Great game in a great stadium. Better off parking at the cricket ground although it will still be tough getting away, looking at a good 30 minutes to get traffic to a decent pace. Food prices are no more expensive than other grounds, not getting a brilliant deal, but no worse than you'd expect. Good place to go if you want to watch world class football in comfort, not so good if you're looking for an on your feet singing till your throat bleeds atmosphere, try the Park head.

This was my worst experience in over forty years of attending First Division and Premiership League football.

We were treated like sheep by the Police and aggressively searched on arrival.
The fans in the tier above were spitting and throwing small items at us.
Complaints to the stewards went unheard.
We were held back for over half an hour by the Police.
We were all directed away from the stadium by the Police in a direction we did not want to go, as we had parked on the other side of the stadium.

I shan't be attending again.

I went to see England vs. Greece there, and I thought it was brilliant from the second I stepped out into the seating. The view at Old Trafford in Manchester was great, and I would go back any time.
