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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
