Title: Aston Villa v Manchester - Wembley
Post by: Drummond on January 29, 2020, 09:37:37 AM
Yes, I realise its ridiculous, but my booking history is poor at the moment, having just bought from other folks.

Anyway, may as well be the first!

I'd like just the 1 ticket but my brother would be grateful if I got 2!

Pretty please.

2 for me as well please. But would take one.

Not sure what the criteria will be yet, so I could be interested in a pair of tickets if any available please.

Usually the clubs only get around 32-33k we have 30k season ticket holders so its going to be tough to get a ticket let alone 2.

I dont think people will get put off thats its city and we will likely lose and pretty heavily so will be a scramble for tickets.

How do I check who I'm linked to on my ticket reference? Want to sit next to my dad and want to check I'm setup to do that in advance rather than having it all go wrong after waiting half an hour to get on once the tickets are actually on sale.

On the ticket section of the website. When I booked semi final tickets it showed which references were linked to me.

Ta. I was hoping to do it before buying the tickets just in case it went wrong cos didn't want to sit in a virtual queue for an hour then have to start again. I've rang the ticket office and they said that I need the person who is in a group with my dad to ring and confirm that he is happy for me to be added to their group.

Cheers mate. Think we have resolved it now. I had to phone and then the person who is in charge of my dad's "group" had to phone too to confirm he knew me. Bit of a faff but, hopefully, sorted. 👍🏿

Yeh quite strange to go back and change the criteria.

Although I was surprised by the play off final criteria, I managed to get a ticket despite living abroad and only getting to the odd game. I guess there were more available for the play off final.

Tempted to head down to Wembley for the game anyhow.
Only after 1 single ticket so you never know.

Yes - The only criteria to have been changed involves non-season ticket holders.

They won't go to basket so I can't assign to each individual ID

Dunno, mate. I had to do three earlier. Got them into my basket, reassigned references on 2, changed the price bracket for the nipper's, paid the bill.

Bit rubbish cos you might lose any specific seats, but if you've been logged in for a long time, perhaps try signing out and back in again.

Have tried several times but will do it again then wait till morning and ring the ticket office. Thanks for your help.

I have checked my history - the 3 tickets have had different histories - mine is 40+ years my son only 5 - grandson only 3 - but we can usually book online for away games.

Took about an hour to get through on the phone this morning. Found out that the online system had decided to make my son the only one who could book the tickets - when I have always done the booking. Got tickets in the area I wanted so no real problem - but whoever messes with the online system should be sent to watch Small Heath as a punishment.

There's time to watch the players etc, go to the loo but not sneak off for a cheeky pint or 2. Strictly no alcohol or hot food on the coach either. The police can turn back any convoy with alcohol on board.
The plus is you are at Wembley and not queuing for trains etc. and can leave food and large bags etc. on the coach as it will be locked.

Absolutely gutted to be missing my first Wembley Villa appearance since my first in 1971.
Annoyingly, I had a 7 match record this season, just outside the last category, and logged on at 5 last night to scramble for the 167 tickets that were available to no avail.
So go and win the Cup for me, and to all of you lucky people have a great day!

Funnily enough I also had a villa dream last night.

We won a game at Villa Park under the floodlights with a late goal, which went to VAR and was surprisingly given.

Think this might be the Chelsea game in a few weeks rather than the final, but you never know!  ;)

Hi!

I am looking for a ticket for a young friend who will be travelling in hope, so can meet to exchange ticket/cash on the day if needs be.

He is a proper fan and has always made it to Wembley before but gave up his ST last year for genuine reasons (just as we got promoted! - the anti glory hunter!)

If anyone has one please bear him in mind.

Thanks
