ticket exchange

[Clampy]

I fully understand where Malcolm is coming from.  If people want the Villa to be a big  club then it will reach out to people outside the WM area.  I am sure quite a few people decided on season tickets on the basis  if they could not get to the Friday night games  the 11am games on a Sunday morning  they could at least transfer their seat for the game.

We are living in 2015 not 1977, I may not like it but football has moved on.

exactly - bought season tickets on basis that with all of the date changes that i could sell if need be - pissed off enough that unavoidably cant go to the game (first time in 52 yrs watching villa that i have missed man u game) andcompounded by losingout on possible £80 because something that should be in place BEFORE SEASON STARTS isnt. i have missed less than 10 home games in 50 years

My suggestion is kindly give your season ticket away to a friend or maybe offer it somebody for face value of the ticket.

very sensible suggestion - that is exactly what i would have done had villa not said a partner would be announced imminently  but i am out of the country until after the match and i have season cards with me so that i could register and sell my tickets .

apologies to mr woodhall for my comments and my unresearched friday facts particularly as i was at the games mentioned. I would like to blame too much sun and alcohol but lets just go with too much sun!!

I can understand your frustration, but you do seem to be throwing well intentioned suggestions back in people's faces.

It sounds like there are likely takers on here and I have always found the ticket office very helpful in resolving ticketing issues. If you end up trusting someone to send you a cheque for £80 for paper tickets that you have authorised the ticket office to issue then you are still in a better position that you are now.

As it stands, if you do nothing then Sky's ownership of football will have contributed to you watching sod all but £80 going down the drain. Welcome to a not very exclusive club.

You can telephone the ticket office and ask them to download a paper ticket for the person you want to pass it on to. They can collect it before the game. They just need your name and postcode.

(They can cancel your season card for that game remotely)

To be honest, I'm not sure why someone who's missed 10 home games in 50 years would be really buy a season ticket on the understanding that Viagogo was there.

Apology accepted. I also seem to remember a Friday night game against Middlesbrough in about 1978-79 that was shifted because of the Motor Show for some reason. We lost and Terry Cochrane ripped Gary Williams to bits.

without going into detail i went for 50 yrs with my father who  passed away b4 start of last season. family circumstances have changed and i now have to finance 2 season tickets rather than one. these circumstances also mean i may have to miss more matches than  b4. i bought 2 season tickets on basis that those matches i could not attend would be financially compensated by the ticket exchange facility. i am probably not as rich as most of you posters appear to be lol!

2-0? remember that game well. I was sat in the directors box for that one. Was that the same season as Luton 0-2 also? maybe in the League Cup? I was in the directors box for that one also.

Just blame the EDL. Or the police, or. The government. Or ISIS, or the taliban, or maybe Hitler, but whatever you do, don't Blame it on the boogie.

I've seen someone post something along the lines of "if you can't make a game, contact the ticket office, they will sell the ticket for you and credit you a percentage onto your Villa Cash card. This can be done until the new ticket exchange is announced". They said that's what they did last night.

Assuming it's true, it's better than nothing.

I had that mentioned to me last night but I don't know if it's an official scheme or just the TO trying to be helpful.
