I don't want to be greedy, so the aforementioned £5000 seems reasonable. However it would have to be delivered in person by Kaley Cuoco

I had a request and i don't even qualify myself. I'm just known to be a villa fan. I'll not be contacting anyone direct but i'll put a general plea out on twitter occasionally.

Its getting silly now. As a season ticket holder for the past God knows how many seasons my loyalty will be rewarded with an opportunity to get one ticket for the FA Cup Final.

However, now im getting flooded with requests from casual Villa fans who go once or twice a season asking for Cup Final tickets! Do they not understand that I only get one ticket for the final...my own. The system is fair, one each for the near 20,000 season ticket holders, then the rest go to those who have suffered alongside the rest of us by going to the majority of home games.

Therefore, these people who can't be arsed to go down, spend their money watching the game in the pub, use excuses of not having enough money etc cannot go, and that's only fair. I try and explain this but they don't seem to understand and I'd wished they would leave me alone.

Tell them then.

I couldn't sell it. There's not any money in the world that would make me equally as happy.

There was a period in my life when my little un was born when I was so skint that I would have taken the seemingly £500 market value of the ticket as it would have been unfair on him and my wife not to.

So if anyone is in that position now and you need to do that you have my complete sympathy and respect.

I heard of one fair-weather Villa fan, an Ofsted inspector from the south coast who was in Milton Keynes on Monday, that thought he deserved a ticket, even though he'd only seen Villa play once this season!

I'm willing to pay as much as £100 for two tickets. I'm from Yorkshire.
In that case I am surprised you are willing to pay!

I think the criteria should be...were you at Villa Park on 22/12/1989 to see us beat Forest on a freezing night in the ZDS Cup?

Me and 6,529 others would be off to Wemberlee!

I've been to one game this season, 2 last and about 4 the year before. I held a season ticket previously for about 10 years and travelled to a lot of away games.

Today I got offered a ticket for the final from my brother-in-law even though I had not once asked him.

Result.

I could buy a house up here for that.

As a season ticket holder of the last 8 years, I gave up mine this season because I was bored of the same shit over and over again. I'd had enough.

To the games I've been to this season, I have not regretted it, because the large part of it has been shit (only been to one TS game, against Swansea, which was hardly inspiring).

Whilst I couldn't have been any more happier when we reached the FA Cup final, there was a little bit of me that thought "You fucking bastards!", but even that was with a smile on my face.

However, if not going to games means winning the FA Cup, then I'll take that (not that me being there has any influence over the result).

Fucking bastards...

I'd only take the Kate deal if it meant she was my sex slave for a full year. I mean otherwise I'd be exchanging a ticket for what?... A maximum of around 90 seconds if I'm on form. Maybe 30 seconds ET if i can think of Miranda but that would spoil the experience.

Shit. I've not even got a ticket to make this happen.
