I managed to snag a ticket for the Barcodes match on Saturday week, but was hoping to buy 2 and take my son over.
The ticket site would only let me purchase ‘one ticket per event’
Does anyone know why this is, and what would I need to do to be able to buy two tickets for future matches?
Thanks in advance!

Season ticket holders can buy additional tickets for fans with a Fan ID. You can then assign extra tickets to them
-
You don’t have to be a season ticket holder to order multiple tickets. I think you need to add eligible people to your “network”. You can “add a friend” as long as you have their membership ID. Then you can order multiple tickets and edit the order to allocate the ticket to someone in your network. It’s stupid and clumsy and drives me mad every time.
Unless anyone has a better approach to getting additional home tickets that they can share on here?
-
Yes that's it. Get your son a Villa ID number then you can allocate a second ticket to him

When you say that 'you can order multiple tickets' do you mean that if you want to buy a ticket for you and a ticket for a friend or family member, you would need to process this by transacting two separate orders?

No.
If you have a network of friends/family linked to your profile - they have to be members with an ID - when you order tickets, you can select, say, 4 tickets and when you try to check out you will receive a message saying you have too many tickets. You can then edit your order and allocate the extra tickets ( one each) to members of your network.

No. So long as you both have ID's you can put two tickets in your basket. But before you check out you need to allocate the second one to a valid ID (in this case your sons).

Not sure this will help. I have a “trusted relationship “ with the two people I sit with( my brother & my mate) . To get this I had to email the ticket office with my client ref number and state I was happy for them ( client refs names and their email details they signed up with) to order tickets for me . They had to do the same . We are all season ticket holders , but my mate who isn’t has done this with his other half and worked okay.

I am a Claret Member and have a fanID. I would like to pay for a ticket for a mate but not go myself. Going by above posts if I get the mate's FanID and and it to my account as a friend, I can do this and mail them the ticket. Is that correct?
Edit. And if I did this, does it count as 'purchase history' for me?

This doesn't directly answer your question, but in this situation I guess you could simply transact the buying of the ticket for yourself, as you normally would, and then email the ticket to your mate - on the basis that when he goes through the turnstile on the day of the match, no-one is going to ask your mate to verify his identity against the name that happens to be on the ticket.

I've ordered tickets for several people, most recently yesterday and I've never had to do this.

I don't think you can do this BE. Certainly not in the 'Calret' sales window. You could do it when it gets to general sale, but then what's the point?
edit - as Flamingo says just buy it and e-mail it to him.
-
Also worth noting that you can only buy for others if they are also eligible in that window. So in BE's situation he would only be able to buy a ticket on his mate's ref (assuming his mate isn't a member) on general sale.

Me neither

The exception to this is ST holders can buy additional tickets a few days before they go on general sale. So I can get tickets for friends (with IDs) before they can
-
I have found this week that you don’t need to have people in your ‘network’ in order to allocate tickets to them, you just need their fan ID & surname.
It’s quicker & easier for the people in your network because you just need to click on their name, but you can add anyone’s ID into your order.
I believe that everyone needs a fan ID now though. They like to try and know who’s there.
-
I think the special permission is required to allow you to 'manage' someone else's seat and they yours, to do stuff like relocate your seats as a group without each of you having to show up at or ring the ticket office all at the same time. My bruv and I used it to get our old seats together in the UT in the post-Bruce upsurge and to move us a dozen seats along when his nipper was lucky enough to bag a season ticket when we came up so he wouldn't have to sit on his own!

I must be on the naughty step then !

Thank you for your help. It's a bit clearer now. :-)

If I've understood that correctly, then that's a very significant restriction, isn't it? ie until match tickets go on general sale, you cannot actually use your claret membership to buy a ticket for someone who is not him/herself a claret member?

Correct. You can only allocate a ticket that you have bought to someone else who is eligible themselves. So when you buy a ticket on the day it goes on sale to members, you can only allocate it to another member.

That's right. But just to clarify a ST holder can get one for anyone with an ID a few days before general sale (but after the Claret members window). I've done this a quite lot and there's always seats available in the upper Trinity and Upper Witton

The network thing is a red herring that appeared about the time of one of the Play Off Finals. As long as you have someone's surname and Fan ID (Anyone can get one), you can buy a ticket on their behalf when eligible. However, every ticket needs to have a Fan ID allocated (as I think has been said above)

Thanks everyone - looks like I’m going to need to get him registered for a FanID (even though he’s an Arsenal supporter…)
Cheers.

There's no cost and it's a 5-minute job. But you can always borrow an ID number if it becomes a problem, I've got one you could use.

My niece is looking for 2 tickets for the Man Utd home game on 10 Feb, she found a company called Seat Pick online, who are selling tickets for £120/£130, does anybody know anything about Seat Pick are they legit?

Just looks like it searches other secondary ticket sellers. They must be season ticket holder seats (if they exist), because no other tickets have gone on sale yet.

If they want to get seats close together they are going to need to be members so that they have enough priority on the sales windows.

Don't mind if they are different seats around the ground, what the chances of purchasing tickets then?

There is usually a smattering across the Witton Lane Upper when they go on general sale.
Make sure they all have fan IDs though - it doesn’t cost anything but you can’t buy without them. You need to have them set up and linked to your account to be able to go for tickets as soon as they go on sale at 5pm.

Am I losing it. :) :)
Just bought a Wycombe Wanders ticket on the Villa site.
Puzzled it's 00:09 9th September, Monday Morning.
Evenif it's open, I shouldn't be able to buy one, till Wednesday.
If they have made a mistake, there not having it back. ;D ;D
Have a confirmation email, already.
Really,really puzzled
-
I noticed that last night, I didn’t buy one as I couldn’t go but it was available for me, most confusing.
And checking this morning it’s still available though only 3 tickets left.
-
I have just looked, got as far as "proceed to checkout" to be told that I've exceeded limitations and won't let me go further.
-
Thanks for the messages; that was just strange.
Be interesting to see what the club do about this.
Might ask me to sell them back to the club, for a discount. Then sell them on to the supporters, who are entitled to the tickets. Pretty sure, I wouldn’t have got a ticket. For this game.
Could be another ploy, to increase revenue streams ; ;)

Didn't know where to post this, but has anyone else had problems adding the Crystal Palace cup game to their wallet from the email?
I haven't had any issues with other tickets so far, but don't seem to be able to add that one.

The tickets won't be issued until after the Bournemouth game

I’ve got a ticket question, so this is probably the thread to post it on.
A mate of mine bought his Bournemouth ticket for the lower Holte but he can’t go now - his dad is v ill. He’s got the ticket saved to his wallet so he can’t pass it on to anyone, which would be his first choice, but can he sell it back to the club? Anyone know how that works? I thought it had to be sold out before the club will take it back? I’ll ring the ticket office tomorrow but does anyone on here know?

If he wants to pass it on to someone he can ask the club to re-issue it. Just need to email with the fan ID of the person he wants to pass it on to. I think it’s much the same as if you want to pass on your season ticket, it’s already in your wallet, but you can still nominate someone to pass it on to.
The club are likely to accept it back for a refund at this stage in the week but they may charge an admin fee which reduces how much you get back, or they might only refund if it sells or something. I’m going off how it is with STs though so I’m not sure.
You can email on ticketsales@avfc.co.uk to save hanging on the phone.

Thanks Amfy! Meant to reply to this earlier.

I’m new to electronic ticketing. I have bought 2 tickets for the Man City game for grandson and self, created a Google wallet on my Android phone, and downloaded them into it. What happens when I get to the turnstile. I can see how to create the Qcode for each ticket. Can I show one ticket, enter, then pass the phone back to my grandson so he can get in. How does it work?
Please, please, can anyone help?
-
Yes Alan just pass it back, i was worried the first time i used the digital wallet. There are staff on hand to help if you have any issues
