Are the club running a limited number of coaches?

I wouldn't have thought so, so I don't see a problem.
However, I am young at heart and naïve as a puppy.

We did the train thing for the SF - loved it!

the club know exactly how many people meet the criteria so ie u meet it u get a ticket

I wish that was true. I don't think everyone who meets the 7/8 will get tickets, as there are now people adding to their # with future games... They'd have had to have done some very smart predicting of consumer behaviour to 'know' how many people *will* meet criteria.

As I say I hope you are right, but fear (for myself) not. I think it'll be a lot of people trying!!!

I guess it'll help the club with extra sales, and maybe less cynically could even help the team with extra backing by fans excited to be going to the final....


if the club couldnt fulfil the criteria then why list it?

starting at 8+ tells its own story and why would they add the burnley game?

they got it bang on for the semi and dont forget a 2 game fa cup history got you a ticket and ultimately it came down to a 2 game booking history over previous seasons which is basically general sale.

can you imagine the ridicule the club would get if on the 10th may the club said sorry but we didnt count right and there are no more tickets?

its coming down to 7+ games because they can fulfil it even with chucking in the burnley game if they couldnt it would be 14 games then 12 etc. i expect it to drop down lower than 7 games

I fail to see how they would get any ridicule for selling out FA Cup final tickets no matter what the criteria ends at.

We have booked our train tickets (before they start putting them prices up) yet do not even know if we have the facility to purchase a ticket. I appreciate that a big % of match day staff have no association with Villa or even football and merely see it as a job but if staff are to have a ticket allocated to them they get one also - the ticket will be sold before the ink is dry in the majority of cases.

I am not sure of the chance for a ticket after 30 years working there  :'(

Same boat as a few, living in scotland, only get to 2-3 games a season, less so this season only been to VP once. so if anyone letting a spare ticket go, I'd quite happily take it. even re-arranged my work schedule already. Cheers

I really hope he is right as well!
I was part going on someone on a thread were told by the ticket office that how far it goes of the currently announced criteria depends on how many season ticket holders take up their option (but maybe that is wrong); and obviously it won't go anywhere near the semi criteria as there are simply a lot less tickets to go round.

I guess at some point it'll sell out within a criteria window.
Hope you get them ok Oswald & Class. And me  :o

No 344 in a series of dumb questions - Can you buy multiple tickets online? I am getting the tickets for myself and an ST holder on the 11th, obviously we want them together - does the system allow it?

I think you'll need to go to your account page and that person to your network, so it might be best to do that beforehand.
