FA Cup semi-final - vs Liverpool Sunday 3pm

[PeterWithesShin]

I can get mine next Tuesday, but will probably wait for my mate to get his on the Friday so we're all together.

I can't get mine until next month but will probably wait a day after I qualify so as me and Leeg can sit together.

I can only think BBC are weighing up using their first pick to guarantee of Arsenal or an 80% chance of Liverpool v Villa. They won't be able to drag their heels until April 7th or whenever that replay is.

The Facebook page is very amusing, if a bit depressing about how dim some of our support is. There are people getting excited because they think that having a ST means they can buy 6 tickets.

The Twitter replies are just as good

I got booking history with 11 games and there's no way I'm  hanging on the phone all day so I will be taking a day off and travelling up from essex to queue up.
Anybody got any idea if season ticket holders can get tickets for ppl with booking history like they did against west brom

l read it as ... You can buy upto 6 tickets as long as you have 6 client refs with the correct critiria .

Exactly how I read it too...hope so as I've been charged with getting tickets for my group of four!

Yep, that's how the 6th round was handled.

Wonder if Villa Cash can be used for this?

No it cant

No it cant

Thanks - I've just seen an email from the ticket office I was sent earlier which confirms Villa cash can't be used. Also says sales will be online,  by 'phone or personally at Villa Village. Think I'll try in that order

[curlytailavfc]

Im garanteed a ticked but im not going

Can I buy it off you then?

pm ya

[Legion]

Received. Thank you.

Will they announce the date and time of match before they start selling tickets? I can only go if it's Sunday.

Perhaps the TV people are just waiting for tonight's result. Surely sales can't start on Wednesday if we haven't got a date.

Why does tonight's result matter?

Perhaps they think any tie involving Bradford is more attractive to viewers

Ah. I get you now. Sorry. Only just seen that the Reading v Bradford replay is today.

Literally no chance of me going then. Gutted. 

Don't give up yet!

Please also be aware that on completion of the below criteria dates, there will still be availability for other supporters.

Therefore we will be announcing more criteria dates in due course.

I share your sadness Tom. I gave up my ST after McLeish and probably attend 10 home games a season now. Ultimately the ST's should get priority so no probs with that. Just hope theres a few left over!

Slightly disappointed with the criteria lower down. It appears that attending 2 FA Cup games takes precedence over those who have been to more league games. It doesn't apply to me as I qualify on Wednesday but that does seem a bit odd.

[Oscar Arce]

I'm in the same boat as Tom and Exeter.
Season ticket holder since 1978, and gave it up just pre-McLeish but still atend 85% of Villa games.
It seems someone who wen to the FA Cup games against Albion and Leicester are better fans than me.
Seriously pissed off.

They've done it for a few years now to try and get attendances up for the earlier rounds of the cup haven't they?
I actually enjoyed the thought of attending the cup games more than the league games under the last manager. Much less pressure.

Yes, just noticed that. That doesn't make sense at all. Surely the total amount of games attended this season is more important than whether they were fa cup or not
