Millwall-Fulham friday night should prove a big game in the whole mix.  Fulham might be shaken after the Brentford set back.  Millwall flying.  I still think we can get second.  The last two wins have been big ones and who knows it might lead to an up swing in our form once again.  That is the beauty of the Championship, just when you think you are settling for a PO spot things can change. 

If it is PO's I'd maybe like Cardiff or Millwall in the semis at least.  Can see Boro being a tough fixture with Pulis and his experience.  Tend to agree that final might be the more daunting possibility.  If we go in with good form then I'd be quite confident.  Hopefully the away form can pick up.  Nothing wrong with the home form.

If we get to Wembley and its a big if! how will Villa look to distribute tickets? I will be fine but my son works Saturdays so only has 6 home and 4 away this season. I couldn't imagine going without him.

On the basis that the cup semi final went all the way down to general sale a couple of seasons ago, I wouldn't worry.

And I’d think we’d get a lot more tickets than say an FA Cup final.

Yes pretty sure some teams have taken 40k allocations for play off finals in the past although that's been when the other team hasn't had that big a support.

We'd get 30k + tickets so far more than an FA cup final.

It’s not over til it’s over.

Ya gotta Believe!!

We’ll be going up, one way or the other.
More confidence than me - the play offs are a lottery

True dat. 1 bad ref decision or a mistake away from another season the the  Championship.

If we get to the final, we should get 40k, I’d have thought. Not so many hangers on for this game, in which case anyone who’s got any home games on their history for this season will get a ticket, as there hasn’t been more than 39k Villa fans at any home game this season.

It's not the same 39k every time though.

Nevermind the semi. The final went down to non season ticket holders

If we end up in the play offs, i'd like to think all season ticket holders will get in free.

I'd sell the rest of the tickets at £20/£10 to ensure we get a full house and maybe add in the incentive of getting first dibs on the final should we get through as well.

been reading H&V all season and before as well - posted a few as well before - however my cent to add now is maybe it is an omen last time in this division and Millwall and the Boro were in the mix. Up the Villa watching from China !

That's great! Welcome.

There’s an average of about 30-32k Villa fans at most games, which leaves plenty for floating fans, who’ve got a booking history, plus plenty don’t get the tickets allocated to their ref.

Everybody always ends up with tickets for these games.

I doubt that anyone who wants to go will miss out.

We could really do with Derby pulling their fingers out their arses for a couple of games. The idea of Pulis ball knocking us out of the playoffs would be the exclamation mark on the last 5-6 years for us. The cap wearing oaf. Horrible.
