EAGER fans snapped up tickets for AFC Bournemouth's opening league game of the season against Manchester United – but only after getting through a lengthy queue.
Tickets for the Premier League clash with the Red Devils – managed by Jose Mourinho – were in high demand after going on priority sale.
Supporters were unable to book their tickets for the match online, only in person or over the phone, with the club issuing an apology for "any inconvenience".
Cherries face the 20-time top-flight champions at Vitality Stadium on Sunday, August 14, giving Eddie Howe's side a tough start to their second season in the Premier League.
