Fees seem to price based. £31 ticket + £6.99 fee. £41 ticket + £8.99 fee. Bargain!!

Oh dear, looks like the end of the cheap Upper trinity tickets.

At least the club are doing earlybird prices now which knocks a fiver or so off the tickets so will be using that instead,

Just made a purchase for Sunderland, so we'll see how they compare with Viagogo.

I agree with SoccerHQ, I have just had a look at the seatwave site.  There are only tickets there for the Sunderland and Stripeys matches, but most of them are cost price.  There are some discounted but it looks like they may not sell as they have been listed as linked seats (you can only buy them as a pair).  Surely that is not a good idea for the seller as if they listed them separately then then someone who wants a single might dip in; surely one ticket sold is better than none. 

Also it seems that most of the tickets are listed by the club.  I am wondering how that works - do they list some on the OS and others on the partner site?  Who would buy from the partner with additional costs when you can get the tickets from the OS for less?

Just bought one for Saturday off Seatwave. £23 all in with the fees they add on.

Ended up saving £2 than if I'd have bought it direct off the Villa!

And probably a better seat.

Technically, you are buying direct from Villa because they add your purchases to your booking history.

Got mine a week ago, said they'd send it to my home address if ordered over a week before the game but nothing turned up so checked and it has to be collected.

Will get down early as the last time I did that before Sunderland at home last season I was in the wrong line for 20 minutes and then stuck behind a family of 6 printing off their tickets so missed first 15 minutes (mind you it was that good should've missed the whole game).

Do you need to take email confirmation or is card enough?

They (Viagogo/Seatwave) have never asked me for anything, apart from my name and sometimes my first line of address.

I've never seen any queues or people printing off tickets. I just go straight up to the window marked with my Surname initial at the pick up point kiosk. (Not the TO)

[KRS]

The queues for the Sunderland game just a few minutes before kick off at the ticket office were ridiculous (most likely due to cash ticket sales on the day). We were picking up tickets and were told by staff (in high vis jackets) that we had to wait in the queue that snaked around the side of the building. Fortunately I have very little patience and found out that we were able to collect them from the Trinity Rd kiosk, however the situation isn't helped by misinformation being given by staff.

Who haven't learned what?

[silhillvilla]

Do the club themselves sell via seat wave too ?
