You shouldn't steal other posters' thunder, you'll be posting "news" stories about Florida next. :(

I know a chap called Florida, John Florida. Can I talk about him?

I do too, used to work with my Dad at land rover

I'm sure you'd find El Floridita more interesting. ;)

Obsessed with flin5tone we know what you are!!!!!
It's a DISGRACE

If there genuinely was twenty seven thousand people on a waiting list and we're currently sitting 6th and have hundreds of seats up for grabs for a very important match would you not think we could muster up a few hundred from the 27k?? Never heard of anything so bonkers
-
Nobody is going to bite at 1.30am, Fred.
Take the night off, go to bed.

If there were, Fred, if there were. As you was.....

Looks like the same guy Stu. John was a colleague at LR. I probably know your dad as well😊

Mmmmm…. Yes I think so.

Absolutely bang on you are. Even more disgraceful is that they persist with the lie at season ticket purchase stage. For the last two seasons I have trying to buy two more ST’s to add to 3 I have got for family use and they keep insisting that I wait my turn in this so called queue. Total disgrace. A joke club the Villa is.

I know. They won’t let me buy two either, they’d rather waste a hundred million quid on a white elephant than take my money. DISGRACE!

Good chance, although he passed away in 95.
Worked with John at lode lane.
Small world

There's just over 400 £40 seats still available for this televised mid week game.
Quick, cancel those expansion plans.
-
I tried to buy 3 tickets but couldn't because my 'guests' have no previous history. 🥱
-
Why do you need booking history? Aren’t they on general sale? And sounds bonkers for everyone in the party to need it.
No wonder they haven’t shifted them all with that and it being clear as mud that they’re selling tickets in those sections.

Having never previously needed to buy a ticket for someone without a booking history, I asked a question on here a couple of seasons ago when I wanted one for my daughter in law and it was confirmed that it was necessary.
It only needed a call to the ticket office and a very efficient lady created an account there and then, (I had all of the required details), and sold me a ticket at the same time.

Seems like it is specifically in those sections you have to have booking history - probably don't want to take any chances with the increased proximity to the away fans.

Seems like a prudent move with the Fulham Ultras in town.
Seriously though, I had the same issue with buying a ticket for my mate in the Holte and/or Trinity for the Leeds game. He's not a Villa fan so just used my uncle's history instead. Linking the two accounts was a bit finicky as well so it all seemed a bit of a faff.

316 left.
That whosoever believeth in the waiting list, should not perish, but shall have every lasting life.

We can’t go sadly, I start work at ten. If I’d known about these tickets I would have booked the night off in time, but it’s too late now. I’m a DISGRACE.

My son booked a couple for him and his nipper over the phone this morning. He was told that they restricted online bookings because of proximity to away fans to try to try to stop people buying them just to sell on. They’re also not selling the first couple of rows.

John 3.16?

15 minutes on the phone to the ticket office. Countless 'pink' announcements. Gave up in the end. I am not that desperate to hand over £100. Easier to stay at home and watch TV.
-
I think half the problem is the difficult process you have to go through to actually buy tickets, as Telford mentions above. Every time I've tried to get extra it's fiendishly difficult.
-
What are pink announcements?

Trying to flog tickets for the Pink gig at VP.

Ah, yes.

They're like red announcements but not quite as important.

Seeing as Fulham started sales at 4 tickets per season ticket holder and 4 days later put them on general sale, I don't envisage much risk of selling on here.

I think eamonn was just concerned we were wandering into pablo territory.

You’re a terrible fan and it’s your sort that Fred hates with vengeance.

He doesn’t hate me. I’m on the waiting list, so I don’t exist.

119 left now. Sales have picked up since they actually advertised those 3 blocks as being on sale yesterday.

Returns now placed on sale for other areas of the ground.

Intrigued what the secrecy reason is for just saying Fulham have returned all Upper Witton tickets and they're now on sale to Villa fans.
We had this for Bournemouth game which was half empty in the end due to lack of promotion.
40k Villa fans in tonight and it's a very difficult game for Fulham.
-
Hundreds left all over the ground now resale are up. Just put my two up in the Holte Upper if anyone needs two together
-
I've just looked going through section by section and says that 902 are available

Disgrace.

Do they always leave putting the resales up so late?
-

Yeah,
They wait until they have sold every last seat

You must be happy to see a sell out crowd.
-
Can understand some people not wanting a single ticket, but if resale tickets for two people is available surely it sensible to sell them two and would still bring revenue in
-
I'm presuming given this that walk up sales will be allowed tonight?
-

No wonder you’re so bothered about sell outs then.
-
It's a disgrace, no wonder there's a 30,000 waiting list. ;)
