It will if Villa fans are buying them! I know some who have got their 5 already - before we are anywhere near selling out!

Careful - you're heading down the Small Heath road, and that'a bad, bad road to travel.

The last two Championship play off finals were 76k and 70k attendances and this won't be much more due to segregation etc

I'd expect us to take around 40k and Fulham 25k with several thousand neutrals on top of that

Interestingly Fulham say they sold 22.5k tickets yesterday. Lots of complaints on twitter that up to a quarter of those are now on secondary sites for £150 plus due to the 5 ticket thing

I am angry but now I've slept on it, i can accept that the volume of traffic has contributed to the problems. In previous seasons, they've sold by the stand your ST is in, so the Trinity always had first choice of seats. At least this way, everyone had an equal opportunity even if it was a bit of a lottery whether you got through or not.

I'm in the area i wanted to be in, albeit not as good position as i would have been had I got in 3 hours earlier. Oh well, if we pull it off, all will be forgiven.

With regards to those with 3 games on their references, looking at the wording on the website, I'd say that you're guaranteed a ticket. It's only after your date that it states "subject to availability "

Can get mine now, but waiting until Sunday for someone who meets the criteria for then.  Just been on the site to see what is available and have to say that there seems to be an awful lot of areas that are sold out already and the remaining areas only seem to have a few hundred tickets left.  Are the tickets being released in stages because there doesn't seem to be that many left at the moment.

Jesus!  I know it's "the £100m game" but that's a bit steep for a ticket!!!

Not exactly a bargain to be had for any heavy drinkers out there!
Club Wembley Diamond Package allows you to put as much ale down your neck before, at half time and after game for one hour. All for the princely sum of 369 inc vat.
Oh you get to watch the game in the surroundings of the rather sterile neutral Bobby Moore Lounge as well and get the chance to not wear your Villa shirt....
Also you get 3 plates of snap to keep your pecker up....
Not for me but anyone looking for a way of making game who may struggle to get a ticket otherwise should take a look.
I'm sure somebody on here will work out how many pints they need to drink to make it work.....!

Reminds me, i must up my game with my Wembley marketing sales pitches........

Maybe I should go Fulham route only. If only we could organise villa i Fulham block. Also where the singing section could be ;)


FYI I heard from my bro in law

"Unfortunately club Wembley sold out in less than an hour on villa side . There are still east side available""

For those of you going please make sure you are in the correct singing/non singing, standing/seating sections or it will be chaos on the day.

If they're flogging 5 tickets to anybody that's ever driven through Fulham then they will. If there will be 38,000 Fulham actually there I would be surprised.

The club must know how many fans reach the 3+ criteria as the online system only enables access once your criteria are met.

Therefore, they should  communicate and let people know that if the allocation is greater than the number of fans with season tickets , membership and 3+ home attendance records, than all those fans are guaranteed a ticket if they want one.

If Fulham are letting people how many are sold so far, are we doing likewise anywhere?

Would be surprised if we sell out completely think people are panicking far too early.  If anyone needs a Fulham ref as I sat in the neutral end last season the Easter game

I agree. It's always the same, everyone panics the first few days. Against Chelsea in 2010 people were panicking and we only just sold out 33k. Against Man Utd in the Carling Cup Final there were tickets still available on the Friday, two days before the game, as my Dad bought one and we only had 31k.

As I said earlier I think anyone who wants a ticket will get one and they'll still be available late next week.
