Some fans have suggested that the club will refund tickets to anyone who has purchased them today without the required amount of points. 

Nathan tweeted: 'Can't wait for ticket office to either charge me £852 for my United tickets or just cancel them. Useless for most.'

Nicky Rowlinson tweeted: 'Can't believe people are moaning they've had united tickets refunded they didn't qualify for them in the first place jog on #swfc'

Ryan Chadburn tweeted: 'Just rang ticket office. They said anyone with less than 720 points will be refunded today at 4 PM. Even if you qualify for tomorrow morning's batch. #swfc'
