On Wednesday, 12 August, Manchester United will take on Leeds United in a pre-season friendly in Dublin.

The match will be played at the iconic Croke Park, and for supporters of both clubs, it is the pre-season fixture they have been looking forward to most this summer.

The heated rivalry between the two clubs means this will be a friendly in name only, and demand for tickets has been reminiscent of a Premier League match.

If you are still on the hunt for Man Utd vs Leeds tickets, here is everything you need to know.

Man Utd vs Leeds in Dublin: Ticket information

General admission tickets

All general admission tickets for the match have already been sold out, meaning Croke Park will be at capacity (82,300). A turnout like this for an all-English friendly is some going, and it is anticipated that there will be a mixture of Irish and English fans in attendance.

Official tickets for the match were sold through Ticketmaster. Both clubs offered tickets to season ticket holders and members for a short period at the beginning of April, before they went on general sale later that month.

Resale tickets

With all tickets for the match now sold out, the only way to get into Croke Park for the match is via the resale market. Ticketmaster has its own resale market, but at present, tickets are available on their platform, which means nobody is trying to ‘officially' offload their ticket.

Other places to look include third-party resale websites, such as Seatpick and Livefootballtickets. Although these types of sites don't offer the same security guarantee as official sellers, they are a way of getting into events that are sold out.

For matches like this, you will have to pay over face value, and it's worth considering whether this is really something you want to do for a pre-season friendly. At present, there are plenty of tickets for the match listed on Seatpick, with prices starting at £110.
