Southampton vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[PeterWithesShin]

3200 tickets, £12.

Fair play to southampton for those prices.

And to us. Both clubs have to agree prices.

[silhillvilla]

You can't do much with £12 these days. I'll either go the game or get one of those M&S dine in for two meal deals for £10 that night and bank the other £2.

[Des Little]

Without wishing to sound like our nearest friends, can we apply for a bigger allocation if demand is high? Being a cup game and assuming the police don't object and all that?

[FatSam]

If it wasn't going to cost me £76 on the train I would be up for this one, especially given the ticket prices are so low. I went to the debacle there last season, and would like to experience some re-balancing.

I'm guessing at "yes". Just been for a look to see when I qualify as I hardly get to many aways these days, and the words "initial allocation" leapt out at me.

The decadent rock n roll lifestyle eh?

des I was actually just thinking that I don't really get why the club are messing about with booking criteria for this one. 3k plus is plenty for 4th round LC at Southampton. It's a bitch of a place to get to from the midlands and back midweek. Why not just put it on general sale? Those that want tickets will get them surely? We'll probably end up returning some I would think.

I'll definitely be going if I can get some time off that week. I can't quite believe that I'll be able to get me and my Dad in for under £20!

We all do that in Solihull.  We're fucking posh.

Do that and you can guarantee that you'll have some complaining that they didn't get priority.

The last time we played them on a mid-week we sold out [and won] at full price and just over two weeks from Christmas.

Southampton is a very easy drive too. It may be 20 odd miles further than London, but apart from the link with the A34 at Oxford there is very little traffic unless there is a cruise ship in, which being a night game, wont be a problem. No cameras or Five Oh on the M40 either. Its not a bitch to get to at all.

Other similar league cup games of distance saw us take 3500 to Norwich at a similar point in December as the Southampton League game and over 3000 down to Portsmouth.

We will sell this out, at these mates rates prices, nah bother.

[john e]

due to the current policy of only taking the lowest allocation we only have 1400 for Chelsea,
so i'm thinking we would do well to sell out over 3k on a midweek league cup match

[AVH87]

I think these will be gratefully snapped up at those prices! Chance to get in to a Cup Quarter-Final.

[Boz]

Crikey that's cheap.

That's probably because they don't rate us as an attractive match.

At £12 a ticket, I doubt any fans going are going to be bothered by that somehow.
