3 hrs on phone busy cant even get in queue - got to checkout onine then error occurred thrown off back in queue now cant even get to checkout - just says "None of the prices you selected could be found. Please contact the Consumer Sales Team on 0800 612 0970 if you need further assistance"
Online site is useless!

going round in circles - get it sorted Villa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wtf? - got through after 3 hrs holding - held for 5 mins and then got cut off - now cant get through again!

might forget it and watch it on BT sport !!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you are trying to buy online are you selecting the block number - I had the same problem initially.

When I first tried I went straight to the pricing category and then checkout and I got the same message regarding non availability.

If I remember correctly you have to choose the block number first

Got online very early after nine, picked tickets for block required got to check out and then received error message and got kicked off to start queue all over again. From then on the problems started.
Selected block number - didn't work; selected best available didn't work
Got on phone and got connected a second time and again I just got cut off after another hour queueing!
Finally after about 5 hours allowed me to select a block online but only tickets left were category 4 behind goal - I have sat in witton / trinity for 40 years - I do not enjoy watching game from behind goal as you see a totally different game. But beggars can't be choosers and after the marathon today no way was I waiting and having another go tomorrow. And also I tried getting on after midnight last night and it would not let me choose then so I assumed online would not work until after 9.00 this morning. But one big bonus is I have the cheapest tickets which will save me money towards the tickets for the final!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  £33 for a semi-final amazing!

I was through on the first Wednesday they went on sale.  Opened up my internet browser at 8.55
selected my seat by 9am and paid by 9.05.

I use it twice a month for purchasing away tickets too.  I've had the odd error with it.  But 99% of time it's great.

Can you queue up outside the ticket office before it opens or are the gates on the trinity and witton lane locked till ticket office opens.
Am going to get there for about 5-6 am and wondered if I can park right outside office with heater blasting out

So far Aston Villa FC have done very well on allocation of tickets. Well done to Club and staff.

You can't purchase on the phone any time after they open tomorrow because your time is 2pm.

I was told timing applies to all modes of purchasing tickets.

I tell you what, I'm glad we're sorted nice and early.  Heaven help Liverpool or Rovers trying to sort this out on just over a week.

just got my tickets, took 20 minutes on the phone which isn't too bad at all. Was trying online at the same time while I was waiting in the queue but kept saying no tickets found in that price category.

Not sure how many tickets they sell in each category though on each day, got ours before 10 this morning, no category 1 tickets left and couldnt do 5 category 2 tickets together along the side so had to settle for tickets in lower tier behind the goal.

Please let all the action take place down our end when we are attacking that way - and a boring non-eventful 45 minutes for the other half when we are already 3 up!!!

You have to take them back to the ticket office on Thursday week to get them changed. Phone first though to book a time slot.

You can't purchase on the phone any time after they open tomorrow because your time is 2pm.
So wouldn't that be 2pm onwards?

Just imagine it is like a concert where the tickets are printed before the support act have been announced and it says "Plus Special Guests" who always seemed to be Ocean Colour Scene back in the day.
