Be a miracle if we sell this out. If we have to play here on a work night, can't they at least make it Friday so you only need to book one day off to attend?
-
The club have subsidised all tickets sold through us - U18 tickets have been subsidised by £5 and all other price classes by £10.
Tickets prices are: £17 [adults], £12 [O65s/full-time students] and £9 [U18s].
-
£17 is good value....apart from the fact that's its Newcastle on a weeknight and you have to watch Villa play
-
Very good value.
-
You're allowed up to 3200 tickets. I don't think we'll sell that initial 2200 despite the price. Away form, season is over, distance, Monday night and on Sky all contributing factors.
-
How much do we earn per sky appearance? Seem to have been on nearly every other week
-
From Blues away to Newcastle away, ten out of eleven away games, have been on live. Only Cardiff wasn't on live.
-
Hopefully sky will start to lose interest when they see we are destined for a mid table finish.
-
One adult for sale for this. £15. Free postage.
-
850 odd gone this morning on 13 aways suggests it will be popular.

Is that including the away scheme though which get added automatically? Seem to recall Norwich was at about 800 after a couple of days and as we know that one really struggled to sell.
-
I'd expect so, but then that is pretty much who would have 13 plus aways anyway. 600 in the scheme and 250 odd outside it is probably just about all that can buy them so far.
-
Either way it shouldn't be an issue outsinging the world's best fans. 500 QPR fans were all you could hear last night in an otherwise silent stadium.
-
It's very well priced. Be interesting to see how it sells. A win Saturday may convince a few.
-
I have 2 references free with 13 aways each on them if anyone needs tickets.
-
1100 gone as of this morning. Selling well.
11 and 9 plus aways to start from 5.
-
our record is terrible up there...was it that infamous dyer/bowyer game when we last won?
-
Yep, 3-0 and Taylor got shot by a sniper too.
-
Pretty sure we've only won there twice since Sky invented the game and both times they had someone sent off.
-
1-0 with Shearer sent off and 3-0 with Steven Taylor sent off for Oscar-winning handball on the line and Dyer and Bowyer dismissed for recreating Raging Bull.
-
so strange when our record at sunderland and boro is so good.
we've even won at old trafford since our last win up there!
-
I didn't go to Newcastle when we got stuffed 3 - 0 in 1975. I got married that day.
That went tits up as well.
-
Does anyone know how this is selling?
-
1280 sold. Only sold 180 in a few days. That Forest game would have put a lot of people off, that was the final straw and effectively ended our season.
On sale to all season ticket holders from 5pm today so doesn't look like we'll sell out the initial 2200 imo.
-
I think it's a good turnout personally. As for the Forest game putting people off, I think the fact that it's a Monday night game on telly would have done that if anything.
-
Yeah, I think the Rotherham match will be a better indicator of any drop in interest.
-
Birmingham Mail giving publicity to Newcastle blogs that have written a piece slating our 'embarrassing support' for the uptake of tickets for this game. Those Newcastle fans are more obsessed with us than the Albion aren't they? Still salty over us relegating them twice.

I think we'll sell out every game now after the Newcastle one. That was never going to sell out on a Monday night.

The comments under those articles are about 90% telling the writers to get over it. Most of their supporters are the same as ours - couldn't care less and faintly embarrassed by such a manufactured rivalry.
-
On sale to Villa Cash from tomorrow - so I'll be taking another 3 off their hands. Never seen us lose up there if that sways anyone not quite sure whether to buy a ticket.
I've also seen those articles from "The Mag" it has become truly pathetic that 8 years after a joke flag in the Holte End, there are still people crying about it.
-
Noticed that Newcastle's game at Norwich on a Tuesday night in on general sale. Surely this can't be right as they are the best fans in the world!

Newcastle to Norwich on a Tuesday night...........Good luck with that journey

Conveniently forgetting the years when Newcastle could fit the team and fans on the same coach and still have space left.
Typical Newcastle bull rubbish.
-
Sound more like typical Evening Mail attempts to shit-stir. Ignore them and they'll cease to function.
-
1533 gone as of this afternoon. Seems more gone in the. Morning today that the whole of the week.
-
What's the latest?
-
My first trip up there - is there a pub the villa fans normally visit before hand?
-
What's the latest?
No update since the 1533

What's the latest?
Tweet the Newcastle Fanzine "THE MAG" they seem to have a buzzer that goes off everytime we sell a ticket so they can let everyone know how embarassing our support is.
-
Anyone got their tickets yet?
-
Anyone got their tickets yet?
Yes, arrived unusually early this time - within days of them going on sale.
-
Anyone got their tickets yet?
Not yet. I emailed the ticket office this morning and they said they posted on Monday morning so should recieve any day now.
-
1760 sold so far.

Good effort all things considered. Can't see many/any more being sold after last night.

As was mentioned in the pub last night, when taking the piss out of us taking less than 2K on a Monday when we're shit in division 2 and it's live on TV, they should remember how many they brought to VP on a Friday when they were shit in division 1 in 1978.
-
It's also easy to comment when they're top of the league. If they were in our position and we were in theirs I'd say they'd bring 1500-2000 to us. Don't forget they had some crap followings in the Premier League for some Monday night games aswell; 900 at Everton being the best example.
-
900 is a lot more than 1978.

Is that alternative maths? 900>1978

It was a Monday and it was twelve.
-
Respect tom all those making the trip!
-
How many did we sell in the end?
-
I'd guess anywhere between 1850 and 2000.
-
Another very good effort imo especially as we have a terrible record on that ground.
We've won at Liverpool, Man. United, Man. City, Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal all since our last victory at St James.
