With tickets only at £10 and trains below £10, the fact we've never played there and its a local game I think my chances of getting a ticket for this one on my reference are zilch. I was just wondering if anyone would lend me 2 references for this game? Its my birthday on the Wednesday before so me and my mate picked this game
Many thanks in advance

I fit into the Friday June 29 bracket, and may not be able to go (if I can even get tickets).
If that's better than yours, you can have 2 references off me unless something better comes along.
-
Cheers Chipsticks, only did one away last year so well above mine. If no offers by then that would be much appreciated
-
Also looking for at least 2 tickets (though could easily get rid of 4) for this one. Can anyone oblige?
-
Just need the one reference number if anyone can help out.
Cheers!

Anyone who doesn't mind going in the Burton standing sections, you can pay cash at the turnstiles on the day. I'd imagine there'll be plenty who do that, myself included. Popular Side (North Stand) is probably the best bet.

Gotta be honest, thats what I think I'll do, may even get a childs ticket! :P

Have to get there pretty early then. Cheers, Lenny.

I've heard that it takes several hours to get to the ground - or 20 minutes if you don't drink

Does anyone know if away friendlies count towards away booking history?
-
Gah, turns out I can't get the day off work.
One spare going in the standing area. £10 face value.
-
Rob I'll take it off your hands if it hasn't already gone.

Just go in the home terrace, it will be half full of Villa fans anyway.
-
Shite. Left it too late to get a ticket so if anyone has one spare please PM me. Ta

I believe the club have released another 500. You could always just get a ticket for the home end on the day.

Got a ticket now cheers! Now looking to see if anyone is going from the Solihull area and wants to share a lift/petrol costs?
-

Just get the train, I bet it works out cheaper.

And Burton is full of pubs!

Still got a spare in the standing area if anyone's interested...
-
AVFC Ticket Office still has tickets available for the Burton game

My Port Vale supporting friend says that the Beech is a good pub. If you're coming straight from the train station, carry on just past the ground and it's on the left.

It's okay, but as the closest one to the ground it will be the one that is:
"Great pub, packed full of Villa!"
So I personally would avoid it like the plague and visit some of the many, many fine establishments in the Town.

Doubt I'm going, got a night shift on Friday.
Woodhall and Jeffries were going I think, they'll know where to go.

Any tips for parking ?

Use your rear-view mirror and try not to clip the kerb.

If you are coming off A38 at Clay Mills then when you get near to the ground (with Pirelli on your right) opposite are some industrial units which you can pay to park on match days. If you want to save a fiver take the first exit on the roundabout and go over the bridge on the left is a newish housing estate where you can park on the road for free but anywhere else be careful you don't risk a ticket - they're sods round there and hunt in packs, a large away contingent will be like an all you can eat buffet for Traffic Wardens.

Ha, nice one..appealed to my very grown up sense of humour..

Which is exactly what that Police van wasn't doing when it nearly ran you, me and Mr Shin over !!

Just got off the phone to my mate from work, who's sister runs the hospitality side of things at Burton. You can pay at the gate in the Burton sections. They're putting that about to put large numbers of Villa turning up without tickets.

Sorry Lenny, can you clarify this - it isn't clear. You CAN pay cash on the turnstiles, yes? There seems to be a word missing in your last sentence.
-
Yes, pay cash at the gate. I also rang Burton myself a couple of weeks ago, and the bloke on the phone also said pay cash on the day.
-
There is a bar in the away end with seating.It is a well run club and very friendly.
-
The Great Westen pub or the club at the ground is where I'll be heading - excellent reports of both!
-
The Brewery Tap for me I think.
