18 shall be admitted unless accompanied by an adult over the age of 18.
6. Admittance to the Stadium shall only be permitted upon the satisfactory production by a Ticket Holder of
the Entry Materials. For each Match, a Club official will retain a portion of the paper ticket or voucher
contained in the Entry Materials. Admission will be refused to any person who attempts to use Entry

absolute discretion; (ii) via any ticket exchange system operated by or on behalf of the Club if that

Holder (or an Authorised Representative of a Ticket Holder) is convicted of a criminal offence related to
the illegal sale of match tickets, or the Club reasonably suspects that they have committed such an
offence, it may: (i) notify the Premier League who in turn may notify the UK Football Policing Unit.
Information that the Club may disclose includes contact details of the Ticket Holder, information about
the offence (or suspected offence) and about any other ticket purchases; and/or (ii) immediately
suspend and/or withdraw any tickets or facilities in the name of the Ticket Holder.
9. Hospitality Tickets and Entry Materials will remain the property of the Club at all times (provided that
each Ticket Holder retains a Hospitality Ticket and/or Entry Materials on behalf of the Club and is
entitled to the benefits conferred by the Hospitality Ticket and/or Entry Materials subject to these terms
and conditions). The Club reserves the right to require the immediate return of a Hospitality Ticket
and/or Entry Materials at any time.
10. It is the responsibility of a Ticket Holder to check that the Entry Materials are complete when they arrive by post. If any items are missing from the Entry Materials, the Ticket Holder should contact the Club as soon as practicable.
11. The dates and times of all of the Club’s fixtures for the Season are subject to alteration. Reasonable

Alcohol etc) Act 1985 (as amended) and by all other instructions issued by the Club relating to the
consumption of alcohol at the Stadium. If the Ticket Holder (or an Authorised Representative of the
Ticket Holder) is convicted of an offence contrary to the Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol etc) Act
1985 (as amended) or fails to comply with any instructions issued by the Club relating to the
consumption of alcohol at the Stadium (or the Club reasonably suspects that such an offence has been
committed or that such instructions issued by the Club have not been complied with) the Club may eject
such Ticket Holder (or Authorised Representative of the Ticket Holder) from the Stadium.
13. If a Ticket Holder loses or misplaces their Entry Materials, or has the same stolen, they should report
this to the Club as soon as possible. If any Entry Materials are stolen, the Police should also be
contacted immediately by the Ticket Holder and the relevant crime number should be quoted in all
correspondence with the Club. The Club may issue duplicate Entry Materials in its absolute discretion
and on such terms and conditions as the Club directs. Unless otherwise directed by the Club, there
shall be a fee charged to the Ticket Holder for the issue of any such duplicate. The level of such fee at
the relevant time shall vary depending on the specific circumstances and the Ticket Holder shall be
informed prior to the issue of any such duplicate (which will not be posted out but must be collected from
Ticketing & Membership Services).
14. Without the Club’s prior written permission, to be given or withheld in its absolute discretion, Ticket
Holders and/or Authorised Representatives shall not use Hospitality Tickets and/or Entry Materials as
gifts or prizes in any competitions or other promotional activities of whatever nature, nor shall Ticket
Holders and/or Authorised Representatives make any public statement, announcement or declaration or
carry out or be associated with any promotional activity of whatever nature expressly or impliedly
referring to a relationship between: (i) the Ticket Holder, any Authorised Representative or any third
party associated with the Ticket Holder and/or Authorised Representative; and (ii) the Club and/or
Manchester United Limited and/or any Manchester United group company.
15. The name “Manchester United” and the Club crest are trade marks owned by the Club and in which the
Club has built up a substantial amount of goodwill. Use of the Club crest by a Ticket Holder or
Authorised Representative without the express written consent of the Club is strictly prohibited and for
the avoidance of doubt paragraph 21 of these terms and conditions shall apply in the event of such
unauthorised use. The Club reserves the right to take any action as it deems appropriate (including
commencing legal proceedings) to protect its brand and image.
16. The facilities afforded by a Hospitality Ticket are located in areas of the Stadium reserved for the
exclusive use of the Club’s supporters. The Club shall be entitled to immediately eject from the Stadium
any person if the Club considers or the Club’s officials consider that: (i) such person is not a supporter of
the Club; and/or (ii) the presence or behaviour of such person may create and/or increase potential
crowd disorder at the Stadium. Additionally, in both cases the use of a Hospitality Ticket by such person
shall be deemed a breach of these terms and conditions by the Ticket Holder and, for the avoidance of
doubt, the provisions of paragraph 21 shall apply.
17. The Club shall have the right to charge a Ticket Holder for the cost of any repairs, cleaning,
maintenance and/or replacement of any facilities in the Stadium resulting from any act or omission of
the Ticket Holder and/or any Authorised Representative, except as a result of reasonable wear and tear.

facilities with an alternative seat and/or facilities of equal (or greater) price.
20. The Ticket Holder shall pay for any additional food and drink (over and above the food and drink
provided as part of the Hospitality Ticket) consumed and/or any additional goods or services (for
example merchandise or commemorative photographs) purchased by the Ticket Holder (and/or its
Authorised Representative) on the match day on which they are purchased.
21. The Club reserves the right to cancel a Hospitality Ticket and/or and any other Club-related tickets or
facilities held in the name of the Ticket Holder (and/or terminate any contract between the Ticket Holder
and the Club) if: (i) a Ticket Holder, any Authorised Representative (or any individual in possession of
the relevant Entry Materials) breaches any of these terms and conditions or otherwise misuses the
Hospitality Ticket; or (ii) the Ticket Holder is prohibited by law from attending any football ground
(including the Stadium). In the event of a cancellation of a Hospitality Ticket pursuant to this paragraph
21, no refund will be paid.
22. If, following issue of a Hospitality Ticket and/or Entry Materials, the remittance tendered in payment of
the same shall be dishonoured or in any other way refused (other than by the Club), the Ticket Holder
shall be liable to pay any bank and reasonable administrative charges incurred by the Club as a result.
In addition, this shall be a breach of these terms and conditions and, for the avoidance of doubt, the
provisions of paragraph 21 shall apply.
23. Once booked and/or purchased no Ticket Holder shall be entitled to cancel a Hospitality Ticket or obtain
any refund, and the Club shall be entitled to seek full payment in respect of all tickets and/or facilities
booked. No refunds will be given by the Club for any matches unattended. Where any match is
cancelled, abandoned or postponed, the Club shall have no liability to any Ticket Holder or Authorised
Representative (or any person attempting to access the Stadium using a Hospitality Ticket and/or Entry
Materials) except that, following any cancellation, abandonment or postponement of a home match, a
Ticket Holder shall be entitled to attend the rearranged match (if any).
24. Each Ticket Holder shall indemnify the Club against any and all costs, expenses and/or losses of
whatever nature however incurred, suffered directly or indirectly by the Club as a result of any breach of
these terms and conditions by the Ticket Holder and/or any Authorised Representative, or a failure by
such persons or entities to pay any sums to the Club when due. Such costs and/or expenses shall
include (without limitation): (i) any legal costs incurred by the Club or its professional advisers; and (ii)
interest on sums due to the Club at a rate of 8% above the base rate of the Bank of England from time
to time.
25. Ticket Holders and Authorised Representatives shall not bring into (or use within) the Stadium any

only for the purpose of making telephone calls or sending messages or emails in text form.
26. Ticket Holders and Authorised Representatives are unable to re-enter the Stadium if they leave the
Stadium at any time on a match day, save where otherwise permitted by the Club in its absolute
discretion.
27. No Ticket Holder or Authorised Representative will be permitted access to the Stadium unless they
comply with the relevant dress code (as directed by the Club from time to time) which applies to their
Hospitality Ticket. Whether any Ticket Holder or Authorised Representative complies with the dress
code shall be at the sole discretion and judgement of the Club.
28. Smoking is not permitted in any part of the Stadium and the Club takes a serious view of any individual
in breach of this policy. The Club reserves the right to eject from the Stadium any Ticket Holder or
Authorised Representative smoking anywhere in the Stadium.
29. A Ticket Holder of any Hospitality Ticket which includes a meal as part of the benefits and facilities
enjoyed may (depending on the facilities which apply) be informed in advance of the relevant match of
those menu choices available (if any) to them. If a Ticket Holder fails to inform the Club of its menu
choices at least 72 hours in advance of a match, then the Club shall not be required to take account of
that choice in preparing any food or meal for that Ticket Holder (or for any Authorised Representatives
or other Hospitality Tickets held by the same Ticket Holder).
30. The Club may from time to time create images and/or audio-visual video footage of Ticket Holders and
Authorised Representatives attending the Stadium. The Club owns all rights in such images and footage
and shall be entitled to use it for the purpose of: (i) promoting the Club and its commercial partners; and
(ii) any other commercial activity, provided in each case that such use does not harm the reputation of
the relevant individual whose image is used.

unenforceable to any extent, such provision shall, to that extent, be severed from the remaining terms
and conditions which shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.
