Our lowest crowd was 25k to Southampton. Minus the few thousand non season ticket holders and saints there day day I'd say 20 k

It's around 18,000 - it has been in numerous news articles and Villa sites the last few months.

It's been everyone's first question since we won the semi.

I've got one too and so's me dad though he wont be using his thanks to his failed attempt to achieve room temperature last month.  The docs say no excitement for a while for him!

You would be able to determine how many by counting the red dots in the Season ticket select a seat.  All the reds are current STs which you cannot buy until current ST have had their window of opportunity!...I have 4...

18,000 season ticket holders and a 25,000 final allocation according to the Mail.

Typically this was the year I didn't renew in protest at the retention of Lambert - I have however attended all the FA Cup matches and all but one home match so am looking forward to the Final ;-)

I heard the club's allocation for staff & players of around 2,500 come out of the 25k meaning 22.5 going to fans.

does the 18 thousand include half season ticket holders
Title: Re: Our season ticket holders
Post by: cheltenhamlion on April 22, 2015, 06:30:00 PM
Yes. The club will likely trim the players allocations and try and share those. We done have more than 6k to go round after season ticket holders though.

If a someone can't make it, can we have one for Amfy's husband? He has been plenty this season bit mist importantly has done every round of the cup.

Whilst I will invoke the power of the lucky shirt, I am too superstitious not to have him there based on that record!

Get Mike to Wembley!

Thanks Stu! As he has been at every round I too am worried our lucky charm may end up sitting in a pub somewhere nearby!

25,000 Villa
25,000 Arsenal
35,000 to 'Interested parties'

Doesn't seem fair somehow!!

After last years final, Arsenal tried to get the FA to review the allocation policy but got nowhere.

This system isn't going to be changing anytime soon

Whilst they're pandering to corporate bods, the FA won't change policy, especially as they're still paying for a project that cost twice the original budget. I have a Season Ticket thankfully! Very nearly didn't renew this year, but glad I did.

Who would have been mad enough to buy a half season ticket in january?! I bet we didnt sell more than a couple of hundred.

I had a job interview at Villa around February and ended up having to turn down their job offer, suddenly I'm regretting that!

Of course they weren't.
Folk who had a ST for 5 years + attended all cup games were!
I think Bren'd means a bit lower down in the criteria in a general kinda way, once all the FULL ST holders had been sorted.
That's life.

I have a half and half scarve from the Southampton home game, surely I qualify for a ticket

Think they're doing the half and half scarf thing alphabetically Silhill - now if you'd bought one against the arse.....

Two of us have STs. Need a minimum of five tickets. I shall focus on the 35,000 tickets that will be in the corporate trough.
