Visiting Manchester!!!
View this Thread in Original format

Hello fellow UK TAs. My name is Chris and I live in Canada. This year, I am finally going to try and go see a Premier League Match. I am aiming for the May 16th match between Manchester and Arsenal. I've made travel plans to Manchester already and I am now trying to figure out which hotel to stay in, how to get the match tickets and what club to party at later after the match. That is why I am asking you, my fellow Manchester TA's, for some assistance. Please, have a look at the following questions:

1. What is the best way to get tickets for the Manchester vs Arsenal game and what is the best part of the stadium in your opinion?

2. What hotel can you recommend. I was looking at the Britannia hotel in downtown, by the Piccadilly Station, but any other suggestions are welcome!!!

3. Please suggest me few clubs to consider checking out. I am more of a trance lover and I am looking for the harder stuff, so if any, please don't keep them a secret from me ;)

Any other help is greatly appreciated. I figured I will stay around the city center, but if you think that the city life is somewhere else, let me know, perhaps around the university is where it's more fun?

Thanks a lot in advance and greetings from Canada!!!

Manchester has a good night-life but you wont find too many trance events up there. Check out dontstayin for the listings.

Premier league matches have a look at http://www.seatexchange.co.uk/ or lastminute.com for sports packages. Prepare to pay for the privilege though as these matches are incredibly popular.

Old Trafford is an awesome stadium so most seats are fine.

There is another thread here about football tourism in the uk :)

Can I buy tickets directly from ManU? Are they only available for sale at a later date?

2. What hotel can you recommend. I was looking at the Britannia hotel in downtown, by the Piccadilly Station, but any other suggestions are welcome!!! - I stayed at the britannia hotel a few weeks ago and wouldnt recommend it if your paying for a cheap room. Get a good class room as the cheap ones are crap. ETAP hotel is near old trafford and costs £32 per night

3. Please suggest me few clubs to consider checking out. I am more of a trance lover and I am looking for the harder stuff, so if any, please don't keep them a secret from me ;) - I would check out whats on at Sankeys (Google it). Was there for Corsten a few weeks ago and it was awesome. Also look out for any good greef events, or get a train to the syndicate in blackpool. Godskitchen in Birmingham is also only 1 1/2 hours away on the train. Check www.dontstayin.com for all good events :)

Thanks a lot in advance and greetings from Canada!!!
