FA Cup West Brom (H) - Sat 7 Mar 17:30

[Lambert and Payne]

Any chance of two season ticket holders not going to this that would like to lend me their reference? Would be very much appreciated

Tickets sorted, phones were very busy so done online.
Holte lower for this one.

Nice one!  If I get a ticket think I will go for the holte.  Atmosphere should be great.

Usual Villa shambles once there's a smell of success. I've been eligible to purchase a ticket for this game since 9.00 a.m. yesterday morning but the 'phone line has been engaged for two days and, having tried to purchase online, the computer is telling me:'WE'RE SORRY! Unfortunately, this time you don't have the correct privileges on your account to purchase tickets for this match. Why not return to ticket home and try another match?' All three home F.A. Cup purchases for rounds 3, 4 and 5 are registered on my season ticket profile, and the fact I've not missed a home F.A. Cup game since 22nd January, 1966 clearly doesn't count for anything either.

Looks like an early trip to Birmingham in the morning.

That's incredibly shite BC54...
in a similar situation to you but no problem at all.

Have faith that they will sort it out...or get on to the big ST/ticket master.
With your history mate, you should be playing, not watching!

Cheers, FMWMU.

I've just copied and pasted my above comments into an email form on the official site and sent it off asking them to sort it, which I'm sure they will, but it's just so frustrating. I'd love to play but with my dodgy back, knees and feet I'd be moving even less than CB has in recent weeks.

I have the same issue as BC54 so it's a bit reassuring because I thought it may be something to do with me being excluded due to living in yamyam land surrounded by yams yams.
They aye arf gerrin excited about gooin on a charra to Aston twice in one wik.

[Lastfootstamper]

I'm getting the same. Odd, cos I wasn't yesterday. Would've booked, but my brother's not back off his hols til tomorrow night, and I suppose I'd best speak to him about whether he wants another trip to the cheap seats for this one.

I've had the same problems in the past and having spoken to the ticket office found out for unknown reasons I had 2 reference numbers and they had to rest my account. Hope they sort out payment for tickets online using Villa cash in future as that would save a lot of phone calls and pressure on the ticket office

No probs mate.
Could you manage to come on for Gabby after 60 mins and rampage at speed though the middle, at least twice? Offload to Gil/Benteke who score, obviously, but wallow in the appreciation they show for your miraculous approach work. Robbie Savage will draw attention to your efforts on MOTD and you will become the answer to England's "problem" - no pressure - and go on to lead Villa as they take over from Barcelona as the default for footballing brilliance and lead England as you win the World Cup singlehandedly.

Just a thought.

Same!  I'll do it over the phone.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

I ALWAYS do my ticket dealings over the phone with real people.
I often deal with a disabled fan's booking and the staff are incredibly helpful... depending upon the venue, and very positive.
I was very surprised, for instance, that my mate's disabled daughter's ticket at Chelsea was FREE. The booking chap wasn't sure, so asked me to be patient while he went away and checked. He did and she could go free. And my mate, as her carer, could go free too!
Brilliant!
But some clubs - eg: Liverpool - give no concessions at all!
Use the phone and talk to people....you can ask awkward questions and get answers to them!

UTV!

That happened to me when I tried booking Arsenal tickets online last month.  Luckily I got through on the phones quite easily.  Good luck.  The website is bit shite BTW.

I think the issue is viagogo if you buy a ticket via them it generates a new ref nr for you with the club. I had to ring and cleanse my profile down last year as I had quite a few ref nr's and needed to reset to my real ST ref

Oh right,thanks.  Have no idea if I have bought a ticket through them or not.  Think a couple of seasons ago I might have as I did buy one online, but can't say for sure who it was with.  Sometimes I just wish we could go back to just buying the damn things on over the phone!
