Need a sugar daddy with loads of away credits who can’t go to pm me please
-
According to table Derby can still get 5th on goal difference
-
They need a 3 goal turn around
-
Derby at home to Barnsley, Boro away at Ipswich. certainly possible
-
How many will we get at Middlesbrough?

Clubs only have to offer 2000 in the play offs. The club can make the decision to offer more if they wish to.
-
Another back in the times gaff. I am going with or without a ticket but not a place at play off time to start the big we are. Come on Villa we can do this.

I would expect us to match them ticket for ticket so it's up to them how many of their fans they want to travel to VP. Give us 2,000 and I'd hope (expect) us to do the same.
-
We will give our usual away allocation. It's not really set up to segregate it in a way that allows more Villa fans so we would only have empty seats if we restricted their tickets in a fit of pique. I'd expect Boro would give us plenty of tickets as they won't sell out. Derby might give a smaller allocation.
-
Boro gave Brentford quite a few from recollection.

Boro only gave 2,500 for the league game but that included the corner bit that could be turned into the no mans land.
We gave both blues and milwall 2,000 so if boro reduce our allocation, I'd expect us to return the compliment
-
Boro and Derby would both only give us 2000 imo. Neither would sell out their home leg but both crowds would be around 30k.
Interestingly I don't think we'll sell out at home, I think we'll get around 38k. We didn't sell out the quarter final against Albion with 6k of them and we didn't sell out the semi against Blackburn, although they only brought a minibus.

Think both Derby and Boro would stick to league allocation to be honest. Definitely think we'll sell out home leg.

That's a given, as long as we're still in the tie

We would have given those reprobates reduced allocations on police advice. I'm unaware of any history of needle between Villa and Boro so can't see why either side would reduce allocations. Plus, when Millwall and Blose had reduced allocations, the seats were empty, we can't put extra Villa fans in if we reduce the allocation by a few hundred. It would be pointless and petty.
-
Just done a bit of Googling (Sunday nights are that boring) and in the play off semi in 2007 Derby gave Southampton 5500, although away fans were still behind the goal then. In 2014 they gave Brighton 2700.
In 2015 Boro gave Brentford 2000 but they didn't sell out so wouldn't have taken more than that anyway.
-
Of course it's not petty. If they reduce our allocation to 2,000, they should be made aware that their allocation will be reduced accordingly as well. It's called negotiating and may well be an incentive to them to allow another 500 of our fans to get to the game.
-
Firstly, there is no indication that they will reduce our allocation, so let's not get ourselves too upset about a hypothetical situation.
Secondly, if a club's board of directors reduce our allocation, why should we punish said club's supporters? Especially if the seats will just remain empty if the away fans don't have them. That's the very definition of petty.
-
Righto

We could give Villa fans the upper tier.
-
Out of interest why do some people think neither Boro nor Derby will sell out at home? I would assume they are both capable of selling 28k tickets for a play off game.
-
I'd expect Derby to sell out. I doubted Boro would, as they always seem a rubbish support sort of team. However, I've since Googled the crowd they got for their last playoff and they did sell out, so imagine they would against us, too.
-
Boro will get 30k. When they were in the prem they used to give away fans behind the goal but since relegation they've changed it to by the corner flag which many clubs do now so not sure how that will affect the allocation.
-
Travel sorted just the small matter of a brief
-
Can I get in the queue behind wittonwarrior for a ticket please. Will likely be travelling up regardless and trying to go in the home end if I don’t get one for ours. Can also offer the guarantee of a final ticket in exchange as I’m a ST holder who is away for it (that’s if we get there)!
-
I'll have two spares if it's Boro, I've been there already this season and I have plans for that evening. If it's Derby I'll probably go though. PM me if you still want tickets after it's confirmed as being Boro.
I make that one ticket for WW and one for Shirley, unless either of you have been otherwise sorted since posting.
-
Ipswich and Derby will both win now. Thread jinx in action.

Thanks, will message you after the game Sunday if it’s Boro.

👍

Actually, WW and Shirley don't other PMing me. I'll be drunk/travelling on Sunday so I'll PM you with the details on Monday when I've sobered up.

Sound.

From PRAVDA
Tickets for our home and away Sky Bet Championship Play-Off semi-finals against Middlesbrough will be on sale from 5pm today.

-
We've only been given 2k.
-
Twats. I hope we reciprocate.
-
2k is all you have to give in the play offs as I said, so I hope we've done the same aswell.
-
Derby have given Fulham their usual 3.1k. Would imagine Fulham will give their usual away end.
-
Oh dear, just seen this thread.... if anyone has a spare I'd be delighted to take it off your hands!
-
I'm not one to study away allocations in much detail but I honestly thought we would have had a better chance of more tickets against Boro than Derby,
looks like I was wrong
if there happens to be a couple of spares going anywhere I will be a willing buyer
-
We've given Boro 2,000 tickets. Glad we returned the favour. 2,000 tickets will limit both teams atmospheres and hope Villa fans can really step up to the plate here. Hope the unused tickets won't go to waste however.
-
2k of them and 40k of us. They'd have had the full allocation I suspect if they hadn't been petty.
Given they don't fill their ground and haven't in 20 odd years, it seems churlish. By the same token, if they sell out, it will be their biggest following at B6 since I can remember. Probably ever I suspect.
-
Should have charged them the £30 that they are charging us as well. Hope their pit is half empty, it certainly will not be full.
-
It's £22 for season ticket holders.
Hour long queue at the moment. Ergh.
-
Another 36 minutes
-
am i right the password is your postcode in lower case no gaps?
-
Think it is, unless you've changed it of course.
Got my tickets, block 50, have we only got the corner section??
-
I've done all 18 aways. Nice to be rewarded with getting a ticket no problem. Come on you Lions!
-
Can't find any details of official coach travel?

It's on the site £23 per ticket.
-
2000 each seems a bit daft but all teams have to agree pricing guidelines. Any more than 40 sheets for the final would be taking the piss. I can live with being fleeced for the FA Cup final but for who gets promoted from Division 2 when there are likely 2 of us going? Fuck that if it is silly money.
-
Derby fans fuming. They gave Fulham 3100 and Fulham have only given them 2000. Can't see Fulham selling 3100 anyway.

Quite rightly, Fulham beg for fans to fill their end for them all season (roughly 7000 tickets) and now theres a big game up only offering out 2k despite receiving 3100. Fulham are absolutely terrible on the road as well.
Also, read somewhere that Fulham have currently only sold 1400 so far, poor.
-
Is the neutral end open for that game?

I’m pretty sure they will sell them. My brother (Fulham fan) couldn’t get a ticket for Sunday and was on a waiting list for returns.
-
Fulham travel about as well as Estonian wine.
-
All three of the other clubs in the Play Offs have shit away support to be honest.

I think Derby travel okay, but Boro and Fulham never travel well.
-
Can't find a more recent list but in Feb Boro were averaging 2400 away fans to our 2750.

If I lived in Middlesbrough I'd use every opportunity to leave the place for a few hours.

Sold out.

There’ll probably be a few that come to VP that abscond like those DRC athletes did at the Olympics
-
Has anyone had any luck trying to get home seats off Boro? I imagine that'd be a lot easier...
-
On the off chance that somebody takes leaves of their senses, would love a ticket for this.

Is that not also true of the second leg for them now they are on general sale ?
-
I understood that you needed a booking history in the last 5 years for general sale?
-
You certainly need a live, unused client ref number. I had a quick look to see if it would let me put a second ticket on mine, and it wouldn't.

Amazed with ticket office Middlesbrough away ticket arrived this a.m, only bought it early yesterday morning.

They've only got 2000 to shift lol
-
They've sold 27,000 including us. Take in 1,000 for segregation and you've 6500 left. Sounds like you'd be able to buy into their end it would seem.
-
Just looked on their site. If away allocation is sold out, they don’t accept new client registrations for that particular game.
