Considering we've only been allocated about 23 tickets I am not holding my breath. But... you never know. One can only try...

Not sure what your budget may be but I went hospitality last year. Was £200 and had a cracking day (until 3pm when Stevie G's tactics were revealed for all to see). Good quality 3 course lunch MC 'd by Jimmy Glass who was very funny / engaged with the guests. Good seats. And was mainly Villa in the suite we were in.

There are 87 left and it moves to 15+ aways at 5pm.

Block 21 has the best availability if you're looking for fastest finger first, albeit there's 35 tickets in there.

Can't believe they haven't gone already.

I can't justify spending £200 plus travel on myself three weeks before Xmas on something like that, great though it sounds, sadly...

Are Bournemouth even thinking about moving to a bigger stadium? They've been in and out of the Prem for nine seasons now and are still occupying a stadium barely twice the size of Crawley's ground...

The Cherries still haven't got Cat 2 Acadamy status, let alone progress on a new stadium.  A few Bournemouth Lions like myself are lucky to have got tickets. Most are going in the home end.

I was lucky enough to get an away ticket with my 'mere' 18+ history. However, when I was unsure, I did enquire about hospitality, to which they offered me a very reasonably priced package (£65 with unlimited beer pre match), the only caveat being I'd had to have had some prior history with AFC Bournemouth home games. The swines figured me out in 2 seconds.

Thought you'd moved to Wales, Richard?...

I have moved to deepest West Wales, but still a Bournemouth Lion at heart Martyn.

I know they're like rocking horse sh1t but if anyone has any spares for Sunday I've got a mate looking for a ticket or two…

Thanks in advance.

Registered with them to try and sneak a home end ticket but they are restricted, although not sold out. They saw through me...

Anyway, should by a miracle a spare ticket appear for this please just PM me, thanks

Even to get corporate you need a local address and prior booking. Plenty of local villa fans in the home end using friends booking history.

Not sure this is right. I did corporate there last season using my home address (in Warwick) and they even put us on a table with other Warwickshire people. I would say the restaurant was at least 2/3 Villa. I believe someone of this parish is also doing it this year - I would have been if I wasn't away.

Correct - you don't have to have a local address. Their staff are very obliging too. Sadly, they are much better than our own ticket office and hospitality team.

Strange as a couple of Bournemouth Lions couldn't get corporate without a previous booking despite a local address.
