Hi,
I am on the hunt for one adult ticket for Brighton at home, if anyone does have a spare please shout up or drop me a DM.
Thanks
-
Same. Preferably lower Holte.
-
Sold Out now unfortunately
-
Yep - still worth keeping an eye on the main site for returns, but they seem few and far between for this one so far.
-
Looking for a few returns (but would be happy with 2!) as well if anyone can't go for any reason (once AVH87 and amfy have got theirs of course). Dave B very kindly helping me out but fi anything comes up i'm keen!
-
I'm in the same boat as all the above, looking for 2 if possible. Got one for Spurs which I gave my lad last minute of the official site so will be continuing to look and try and mop a couple up from there, but if any do come spare on here after the good folk above get sorted it would be much appreciated! Definitely getting us both membership in the summer!
-
Hi can anybody help I’m currently in Singapore on my way to the Uk from Australia and I need a ticket for the Brighton game, have been supporter since 1959 hope someone can help me out.
-
I have managed to get the two I wanted this morning online - lots of refreshing in a boring teams meeting - but got one in B6 and one in K2 for me and my son. It's worth keep trying.

Hi mate, which page were you refreshing out of interest? Here? https://tickets.avfc.co.uk/en-GB/categories/home-tickets
Appreciate it. Tom
Edited - yeah i just refreshed for the last 30 minutes and a ticket popped up in B7. I need two tix though so think i'm gonna keep trying!
-
Yep just kept refreshing that, there was one kept popping up in B7 earlier, but you have to als0 buy an "youth" category ticket (my son is 22) and we had decided we just wanted to be at the game however, even if we couldn't sit together. The B6 one came up and then one in the Holte about half an hour later, which he's delighted about!
-
You've given me hope mate! It's my first time back in England during the football season for a few years so I'm going into refresh-mode all day every day!
-
Still havent got one does know if the official site keep putting returns on over this weekend up until the match day ?
-
A tip from Facebook...
wednesday morning is your best bet bud they put all the resale on there then and on the match day morning. just be patient and refresh every half hour everyday
-
Thanks for the advice
-
Thanks for the advice
No probs - do you have a FanID etc. set-up for the online ticket sales, not sure how often you have made it over before?
-
Hi I’m sure I’ve got a digital ID Ive only been in Oz for 6 years and prior to to that was a season ticket holder coming down from North Wales. Fingers crossed I’m tempted to get one from a scalper but can’t quite bring myself thanks for the advice.
-
Hopefully something will crop up today - the Facebook group on which the advice that today might be a good day to keep checking, people were saying a few cropped up throughout the day yesterday. Fingers crossed for you. I would get logged-in in advance to make the process slicker too.
-
One just came up in C2 but I wasn’t quick enough!
-
They are regularly drifting through this morning but there are clearly a few people trying as they go instantly. They keep disappearing before so click through! Grrrrr!

They go so quick EVERY time that I wouldn’t be surprised if they aren’t bots. The resale sites have tickets at £150-£200 in suspiciously similar areas to those that disappeared instantly this morning!

Ah well last live match I saw was Villa Leeds in Brisbane ironic isn’t it I’m on the North Wales coast so it looks like I’ll have to entertain a gooners fan on Sunday thanks again for all the advice

That is what I suspected.
I did a few quick repeat refreshes at various times in the morning, and a couple of times a seat came up, but as soon as I then clicked on select seat button an error message came up, and nothing was available.
The club should cancel any tickets that pop up on resale sites.
-
Some tickets still dribbling through. Generally disappear almost instantaneously. Did get as far as being able to select a blue seat, but by the time I clicked it came up seat not available.
I will carry on dipping in every now and then. Might get lucky.
-
I managed to get one when they dropped the whole of R1 at once. However, it was snapped up suspiciously quickly, like within 2 minutes for a few hundred tickets. Amfy's suggestion that it's likely bots at play seems likely to me
-
Forgive my ignorance but how would a bot be able to navigate its way through the process of ticket purchase quicker than a human?
-
I don't understand the full science behind it, but in theory, you can write a computer programme to refresh constantly, then click the buttons required to purchase all within a second or two of the ticket being onsale. There's various methods the ticket brokers use to combat it, but I think in practice they just keep writing more complicated programmes to get around it
-
I'm sure this is answered elsewhere on the forum but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere so any advice would be appreciated.
I have misplaced my season ticket and need to find a way of contacting Villa Park to have a ticket emailed to me. The ticket line isn't open today and I've repeatedly messaged the Villa Ticket Helpdesk on Twitter but they're not responding. Does anyone have any advice on what to do? Thanks

Ticket Office is closed today but open again @ 10.00am in the morning so I am sure they will sort out your ticket then
-
Get to ticket office in plenty of time and there shouldn't be a problem. I rocked up for a game earlier in the season with old out of date season ticket for some reason. they simply cancelled my season ticket having established it had not been used and issued a paper one. They seemed to be used to this happening.

My mate has arrived at the game and realised he’s forgotten his card and the ticket office sorted it in no time.
