F.A. Cup Tickets

[luke95]

So yes, it's because you didn't get one.

I think it's fine. It was advertised as priority for tickets and that's what people who paid up front are getting. There will be very few with Villa Cash who aren't spending a chunk with the club, which would have been the reason for getting it. No one knew it would be such high priority for tickets, and I doubt many/anyone in the summer was thinking about Wembley priority as a reason to get one. 

And yes I subscribed, purely because of the cash back. QPR will be my 14/15th game so far and by the end of the season I will have spent a chunk in the club shop.

nothing to do with me not getting one .
I think its wrong/unfair that someone can sign up for £10 do nothing but sit in it & get a semi final ticket over someone who has gone to 4 games .


As i said it needs reviewing .. Not stopping altogether

I very much doubt there would be more than a few dozen max who signed up and have then spent no further money with the club. I'd imagine the vast majority with one have a similar record to mine. It defeats the main point of buying one to not then be spending money. I only know one other person with a VC card, it's not like there's 1000s with one.
And it probably will be changed slightly as I bet there will be a lot more wanting to buy them next season.

At £10 to sign up too itll certainly be cheaper than buying a match ticket

Rudy65 I had a similar problem and ticket office were very helpful. I had bought cup tickets under my reference and not uses my junior ST ref. However the ticket office recognised that as I had bought 2 tickets for two cup matches, one junior one normal , than juniot tickets can count towards status for semi final allocation.

I'm in same position but they said no to me on phone and email. Lad has been to 4 cup games but only two are in his name, other two in my name. Clearly they were for him as U8 tickets but they said can't alter once game has been played. Did you go in person? Can still get him one Tuesday but it will no doubt be a lot busier then. Was there today but queue was out the door so didn't want to wait ages to be told no again but having seen few posts on here looks like they have been bending the rules. Might try phoning tomorrow?

No not in person and my allocation day was based on ST plus 2 cup games.

[wozwebs]

I'll ring them tomorrow. I originally asked at the start of the sales. Might be more relaxed now they know they still have loads left?

Wish the ticket office will make up its mind.
Me and my kids both adults have been to 2 cup games and 11 league games so far this season. We all have our own ref number but I always book the tickets under my ref. when told my day was tues and my kids weds for tickets I asked ticket office surely you can see for the last 4-5 seasons you can see I always book 3 tickets for at least 11-12 home games surely 1 game can be transferred to there ref to allow me to get them before the Qpr game. They sad no so now I gotta stay up book hotel and back early doors to get all 3 together on weds.
Yet some of the previous posts say different maybe I'm missing the point put me right guys if I am

They know from their system that the allocation up to 5 matchday tickets will or could sell xxxx amount of tickets providing maximum take up.

You will have a certain % of ST holders who won't travel and people who can't attend on a Sunday. It is interesting that the Villa set a ballot for tickets that asked the question 'have you held a season ticket in the last five years?' this going back to the 2010/11 season when O'Neill left and ST fell when TSM1 was appointed. ST have fallen since.

Are the club going to offer the option of tickets to pre ST holders as an incentive to encourage future take up? 

[class-of-82]

Also you gotta chuckle as people get there tickets the posts on this thread get fewer and fewer.
After tues or weds that's me done on here
Then the lucky underpants
Lucky socks
Lucky shoes
Lucky top
Lucky jeans
Lucky hat
All get laid out ready for the semi

bought mine on march 26 ,,,,,,still no sign of it being delivered

[tomd2103]

I wonder how many tickets we have sold so far ?

That is the $64,000 dollar question............

I asked when I bought my ticket for QPR last Thursday.  He said around 21,000 had been sold at that point.

[Kingthing]

Daft thing is why didn't they bring tues booking criteria to Saturday if the ticket office is open good Friday then why not the Saturday.
God help us when villa park holds 60,000 and we regs in champions league f.a. Cup finals etc

None of us on here need worry about that.

[silhillvilla]

So about 11,000 left then

[spangley1812]

So about 11,000 left then

It was very busy on Friday apparently and will be on Tues, Weds and Thurs when the criteria changes so you may well be looking at about 5,000/6,000 left by the end of Thurs
