Leave me alone
« on: April 24, 2015, 02:05:31 PM »
Its getting silly now. As a season ticket holder for the past God knows how many seasons my loyalty will be rewarded with an opportunity to get one ticket for the FA Cup Final.

However, now im getting flooded with requests from casual Villa fans who go once or twice a season asking for Cup Final tickets! Do they not understand that I only get one ticket for the final...my own. The system is fair, one each for the near 20,000 season ticket holders, then the rest go to those who have suffered alongside the rest of us by going to the majority of home games.

Therefore, these people who can't be arsed to go down, spend their money watching the game in the pub, use excuses of not having enough money etc cannot go, and that's only fair. I try and explain this but they don't seem to understand and I'd wished they would leave me alone.

Away games as well. Well done, Villa

Now I've been asked because im allowed to get 6 tickets per transacation, so now im trying to explain that it means 6 tickets per transaction each ticket being on behalf of a fellow season ticket holder.

Not worthy of a thread on it's own so this one will do.  As demand for tickets will be high.  How much would it take for you to depart with yours?

£1,000, £2,000 £5,000, upwards or, no amount of money but a night with Kate Beckinsale might do the trick.

I'm willing to pay as much as £100 for two tickets. I'm from Yorkshire.

I must get two new requests every sodding day.  I wouldn't mind if any of them made it to two or three games a season, but they don't yet still sound disappointed when I tell them no chance.

She's just told me she's going to the match so you're out of luck there

I've had a request from a mate to 'sort a brother out' with a ticket for the final. His only appearance at VP in the last 2 years came when I got him a free ticket because I knew a season ticket holder who couldn't go to the Fulham game last season.

It warms the heart to see loads of secondary sites with tickets on sale for upwards of £400.00 before either club has started selling them.

I have had plenty of requests. And I don't know how big an offer it would take to part with my ticket but it would have to be substantial.
