F.A. Cup Tickets

[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

Is that when they go on general ?

If you look at the website it goes to 5 games this season on Thurs and I suspect the club will put details about how the rest of the tickets will be allocated on the website on Weds/Thurs...It may not get to just "Booking History"

no

When you look at our attendances and think how many folks have only been to 4 or less, i'd have thought that there would be more than 5/6K left. They won't go to from 5 games to general sale, it will just go to lower criteria, maybe end up at "varied history" like it did for the QF.

[silhillvilla]

What is "varied history" ?

[PeterWithesShin]

Not sure as I didn't look into it. I assume it will be X amount of games over the last few seasons.

What is "varied history" ?

anyone who had only been to previous villa west brom matches in the past were denied a ticket for the villa west brom cup game

Same applied to Manchester United and Chelsea at VP.

What is "varied history" ?

from the staff member in the city centre store ... On their database, & that goes back 15yrs

i dont think it did against man u as they had fans in every stand
and the club were happy to sell tickets in home areas to anyone
they could have checked that these people only buy one ticket a season and thats villa at home to man u
but they didnt
then the police got involved and forced them to change the way they sell tickets
so the varied history rule was used for the first time against west brom

I reckon that it might be as straightforward as at least two games against different opposition, so basically selling to anybody who isn't buying for a) the first time or b) just Villa vs Liverpool every year for the last ten seasons.

[silhillvilla]

So Man Utd fans will have to come to at least one other villa game from now on ? Or at least buy a ticket and not attend

[PeterWithesShin]

They didn't call it varied history for the Manure game, but it didn't go on general sale.

They can get them off Viagogo as well

Thought you needed a villa ref ?

As the tickets come from the club and are allocated a client ref they use the same criteria.
