Title: Wigan Away Spare Required
Post by: Holte L2 on February 21, 2012, 09:21:52 AM
Hi All

To my amazement we've sold out for Wigan on Saturday!

Has anyone got a spare for sale?

Cheers

If you can't find a spare, could be worth calling Ticket Office on Friday, as that is when they will know if any of the 1,700 tickets which we haven't been given will be available on the day.

I'vew just tried the ticket office again.  They said they're not being anymore tickets due to NW Police Advice! I don't remember ever seeing any trouble at Wigan!  They don't have enough fans!

Think I'm going to get one in the Wigan end, unless anyone has a spare??

Thought that would be the case. Wouldn't be trouble, though I can imagine that a fair few arrests will have been made over the years at Wigan and Blackburn - Large allocation, away pubs right next to the ground, cheap tickets..........

Based on recent discussions, I don't know if that's a genuine first post or a regular having a piss-take

Currently got a spare ticket that may well go pretty quickly. No first time posters.

It was a genine first post, not a piss take, i normally go on the villa mad site, not this one and don't know what these recent discussions were about.

I do require a ticket still though, this is cause i didn't expect it to sell out and left it too late to get one, my own fault really, but would like to be there

You've been a member on here for two years and your first post is asking for a ticket. Some would consider that a pisstake.

Police have confirmed that there will be no pay on the day, and all tickets are sold. All pubs in the area are fine for away supporters.

I wonder what's changed since last time, there was no trouble was there?

No idea. It might be that they think our previous record when taking loads to that area (notably Blackburn) isn't too good.

Ok, i see your point about wanting a ticket, but the piss take bit was about me being an existing contributor posting under a different name, not asking for a ticket, if you know i've been a member on here for 2 years, why didn't you also confirm that i am not taking the piss about this following recent discussions on here

I guess there is still no chance of a ticket then?

So we haven't played for a fortnight, tickets are cheap, it's an important game and by the looks of it , once again, the ticket office haven't taken enough tickets. I suppose they assumed season ticket holders usually travel away so they thought it wouldn't matter if any of them were unhappy.

Perhaps one of us should suggest innner city school kids might buy a £10.00 ticket for a game against Man U at home in the future if they're encouraged to go to cheap away games and then we'd take our whole allocation.

For those of you who work in customer service, like me, think of how Villa treat it's best customers and convert it to your business model. Then do the opposite.

Dave, I thinl your right. Our Blackburn reccord isn't great. We were a bit lairy at Citeh this season and Blackoool last. May have counted against us?

It was too cold at Wigan last year for the young uns to play up. It seemed pretty subdued in the pub opposite before as well.

The fact that there's no pay on the day or extras asked for might indicate that we're not being allowed any more.
