Old Trafford Installs Marriott’s Seat of Dreams for Manchester United vs Liverpool

Manchester United has not had the best start to the season and this weekend they'll take on current Premier League leaders Liverpool, who are already 15 points ahead of them in the table.

While this could make for uncomfortable viewing, Marriott has teamed up with Manchester United to ensure that at least four fans will be able to watch the game a little more comfortably than normal with the 'Seat of Dreams'.

Debuting this Sunday at the Manchester United vs Liverpool game, with support from Wes Brown and Park Ji-Sung, the Seat of Dreams will give fans at every game the chance to experience match day from a coveted vantage point in the stadium while enjoying special perks including complimentary food and drinks, early entry to the stadium, and the opportunity to meet Manchester United Legends.

The Seat of Dreams will host four fans at every home game and will be awarded at random through a complimentary upgrade to their existing match ticket.

Official Hotel Partner

The debut of the Seat of Dreams marks the kick-off of a larger relationship between Manchester United and Marriott Hotels, with the hotel brand becoming the club’s first-ever Official Hotel Partner.

“Marriott Hotels knows that surroundings have a major impact on how we view and take inspiration from the world, and the Seat of Dreams is our way of offering fans a one-of-a-kind experience when watching their beloved team,” said Mara Hannula, Vice President Brand Marketing for Marriott Hotels. “Through this partnership we are proud to create exciting new fan experiences both at Old Trafford and at our hotels around the world.”

The Seat of Dreams will be featured at the Club’s #ILOVEUNITED events around the globe to give fans the chance to see what this unique vantage point is like – no matter how far away they are from Old Trafford.

Viewing parties held at Marriott Hotels around the world will feature Manchester United Legend appearances and special Manchester United-themed F&B menus. Manchester United-themed amenities and suites will also be made available in early 2020 at the Manchester Marriott Victoria and Albert Hotel.

Back at Old Trafford, the brand has created a hospitality suite modelled after its signature M Club, the brand’s 24/7 business lounge for Marriott Bonvoy Elite members that is featured at nearly 100 Marriott Hotels around the world. The suite will offer VIP access to all of Manchester United’s home games throughout the season, with executive seating and complimentary food and drinks.
