Play-Off Final Tickets

[QuintonVilla]

20,600 sold by 2pm today according to Express and Star.

Cant imagine theyll sell too many more now before 5pm Sunday?

So what's that, about 2k-3k season ticket holders and members haven't bought a ticket? Always thought they'd made the s/t holder window too long and general sale too short.

I reckon I’d be only capable of reading googly goo by kick off

Some blocks haven't been released yet or have only been partly released. I reckon we've sold around 23,000.

Exactly. It's on the villa website that they will be released block by block so while the numbers left appear to be low, tickets haven't been released for a good chunk of the ground yet. Not sure why they do it like this though and just not open the whole of the allocation to those who can buy seats.   

I would guess it's because if there's any shortfall in ticket sales better to have a full block and an empty one that two that are half-full. This will help segregation and also mean that if one club sells more than another, extra tickets can be made available for the one who's sold out.

No - It's because they are trying to ensure that there is always availability across the spectrum, rather than there being limited options on priced/categories.

I'm very supportive of the ticket office but I don't think they've covered themselves in glory this time around. Blocks are popping up all over the place for purchase at random times. It should have been made available across the board on a first come, first serve basis. I can half live with perhaps the last blocks on one side being kept back for segregation but in doing so, you would be holding back prime seats.

I may be wrong about this but I think it's Wembley who decide what blocks go on sale when, not us. Just enjoy the fact that you have a ticket.

I may be wrong

It's taken a long time coming Clumpy but at last.....Spot on me old pal.

I'm in 534. Am I sitting or standing? I was planning to maybe have a bit of a lean midway through the second half, will that be okay?

Maybe if you lean backwards so the back of your seat breaks your fall you could get away with a lean?

I might just lie in the aisle, I shouldn't upset the sitters OR the standers too much then.

My latest conundrum... is 534 a pitch invaders' section of a booing pitch invaders section? I'd hate to have my lack of North Birmingham working class credentials exposed by a grass incursion faux pas.

The answer lies buried in the lyrics of the Buju Banton album 'Til Shiloh. Or something like that.

Please. I'm tired of all this. As you very well know with the release of African Car Reverser's Magnum Opus, "Finding childish ways to ruin your own life" you will find a hidden (13th) track, after 6mins silence at the end of track 12.

If you record this on to reel to reel tape, then play it backwards at quarter speed it contains very clear and specific instructions of where one may sit and politely join in nice songs, and where yow can stand and scream at the bluenoses, away from them big saft babbys.

That or just enjoy the fact you have a day out at Wembley?

One thing that is gonna give us some kind of advantage on the day will be the intensity of our support .......just remember the atmosphere we generated against Liverpool when as a collective we realised we were on the way to a great victory - The Villa end was bouncing ... not many of us were sitting down on that day.
We don't get there often let's show the watching world what Aston Villa is all about - all the whining about pitch invasions, allocation of seating, and standing saddens me .... do we really want sanitised football with no passion or atmosphere?
Perhaps some will be happy with a free flag to wave or clapper so we can rival Fulham in the quest to be like American sports spectators.
Me and VCTM jnr are down for the weekend and will make the most of every moment - win or lose we are gonna enjoy ourselves
We should all be focusing our energy on backing the team and manager to the hilt .......UTV

Where's this geezer been all season?

[villa `cross the mersey]

If it is true that Fulham fans are able to purchase up to five tickets each is that not almost condoning the resale of tickets at a  profit and encouraging people to compromise segregation by selling to opposition fans or touts ?

Amazingly, he's been banned before for being a boring twat.

Hard to believe, I know.

Seriously? I've always found Fulham to be a great place to visit and their fans very accommodating. No need to start the childish name calling of our opposition fans, we should be better than that.
