Seat Wave tickets for Aston Villa v Small Heath

[wittonwarrior]

I cannot believe that theVilla  have placed on sale via Seatwave a  whole block of seats in B1 area in the Trinity Road, what is the Club  thinking of.

I might be able to get a ticket in that case.

Lol, not really.

Same rules still apply, Seatwave will check with the club Re; the criteria to make sure eligibility.

Although I noticed I have been able to just get extra tickets as a season ticket holder this time without having to show that the people I am passing them on to have a booking history.

I am sure that for the last couple of seasons I haven't been able to do that.

Brighton fans were buying them up in bulk on seatwave before last game of last season but most of them got refunds before the match took place. Don't think the club is that dumb to let loads of people with no booking history into a match of this magnitude.

Booked tickets today on the Villa website and the Holte's sold out.

[exiled on the wirral!]

I'm amazed they haven't opened the upper trinity already...they know it's going to sell out regardless.

From the seatwave checkout page....

I’m surprised that Villa seem to be endorsing the reselling of tickets for the Blues game at extortionate prices. 

Am I alone that feels Seatwave are just another jumped up ticket tout site peddling overpriced tickets and extortionate fees?  Going for £70-150 per ticket with c.£35 fees on top.  Link from the official Villa ticket page direct to Seatwave.

Interested on what others think about this?

Seat wave will show the actual seat won't it?  Easier enough to seeing which opportunist is trying to rip off a fellow fan

[SoccerHQ]

When are the Preston tickets going on Seatwave?

[Zouch Villa]

Thanks weefan, don’t really do twitter so hadn’t seen that statement.  I’m surprised they haven't put something similar on the website.

Still, doesn’t sit particularly well with me and feels like the club washing their hands of the matter. I thought it was usually standard practice to stipulate that tickets are sold at face value to prevent this kind of opportunism.
