Are the P8 seats for sale to ST holders on the 31st?

I would assume so. If you're in the Cup Scheme it's automatic.

Thanks.  That's over another hundred pounds on match tickets out of our account.  Dread to think how much we've spent on tickets this month.  Christmas will have to be cancelled.

Can you really expect cheap tickets for a semi final?

while there are people mug enough to pay the best part of 40 quid, apparently not.

Thing is there is no right price because at every price for someone it is too much. I certainly wouldn't be calling anyone who CHOOSES to pay that and go a mug. Football is expensive and in order for us to compete and for the club to be be where we all want them to be means it will remsin that way. I want us in more semi finals and finals but for that there's a price. If you believe we are going to achieve our goals on the cheap, then you're mistaken.

This may sound mad but I have always preferred semi-finals to the actual "event" which tends to be fraught with tension, in a strange land and costing a lot!

Going to Highbury in 77 for the QPR replay was one of my greatest Villa memories - no money to get in, for food or a drink, relying on the generosity of fellow Villans and then a hat-trick from Sir Brian -  the best of times...

One of the best team performances by a Villa side in my 45+ years of watching. There was only ever going to be one winner that night.

Same here, outclassed an excellent QPR team that evening with Brian Little absolutely brilliant, saw the match programme in the loft the other day when getting decorations down and made me think back to a great night

I take it you won't be going to the final then.

I can understand the economics behind the adult prices for the game.  It is the concession prices which seem a bit unfair to me.  My dad, who has an over 65's season ticket is having to pay £30 for the semi final while I am paying £39.

Obviously nobody who pays those prices will be a mug then.

If we are 5-0 up after the first leg, at £39 there might be a rush to get refunds.
