Yes it's fair and I have been an ST holder for longer than I care to remember. It's always about future and a 14/15 only ST holder who has been to all FA cup games should be ahead of those who have not.

Can someone fix the typo on the name of the thread its really bugging me.
Also the point most posters here seem to have missed is that the club clearly stated that all those with eligible criteria can get tickets in the proscribed timeframe, they are just spreading the day to avoid a rush.

Typo fixed, and yes that is exactly the point. I had to wait until yesterday to get mine as my nephew (10+ years, one FA Cup game) didn't become eligible until then while my dad (first time half season ticket holder, four FA Cup games) was eligible the second or third day of sales. If people were missing out entirely then it would be a different matter but supply to ST holders far exceeds demand in the first instance.

Also got our tickets yesterday. Not exactly a great choice. No Cat. 1 tickets available and it was either in the gods (Mrs Javu is not keen on heights), tucked away behind the corner flag or behind the goal. Went for behind the goal.

Might get on the telly, I suppose.

A jester's hat, plenty of facepaint, a half and half scarf, and a sign wishing Stevie G well on behalf of all Villa fans should do it

I will be queing up for mine on the morning of tues 7th April all because I let my sth mate book mine for Blackpool and bournemouth.
Doing that has put me to nearly the back of the queue then back again on weds morning for my kids

You do realise you can get them all on Wednesday don't you? There's no advantage in going twice.

I'm hoping that with all the worrying and moaning about tickets people will actually forget to buy them and they'll loads left at the end.

If its Villa v Blackburn, we should contact the Blackburn supports and club together to buy some advertising at Wembley. Something nice and subtle, like Nelson from the Simpsons pointing at a photo of Steeeeeevieeeee Geeeeee

Totally disagree. Where's the benefit for long term ST Holders?

Yea realise that mate but still worry that I'm gonna miss out although ppl say I won't until I actually have them I won't rest, I'm up for the Qpr game so am going to ask ticket office how many left on the tues and if quite a few then back early doors to be first in queue to get three together.

There's more tickets than people who qualify for the published criteria.

You think this is bad wait till we get to the final.
