Father and son's nightmare after being 'turned away from Manchester United match over innocent mistake'
A father and son were left devastated after travelling from Belfast to watch Manchester United - only to be turned away from the stadium before kick off.
The family believe Jack successfully scanned his ticket, but made the mistake of not passing through the turnstile quickly enough, causing it to lock before he could go through. "They booked a package and had travel to Dublin, then get the boat to Wales and then get a coach to Manchester where they stayed the night before," she said.
"They spoke to several members of staff. One was very nice and got on the radio and told them to issue two new tickets, to which he was told 'no'." "My brother is 18 and this was only the second game he’d been to. My dad is 53 and had only been a handful of times. It was booked as a Christmas present for both of them and they had been really looking forward to it. They are lifelong Manchester United fans.
