Strikes me as a very unfair moving of the goalposts

They haven't moved the goalposts as such. The original tickets didn't go to general sale.

Absolutely fine. But now they have more tickets to sell (resell)...why go by a different criteria?

It's because the tickets all sold during the booking history window so they are carrying it on as they left off for people who have been to games.

They 'sold out' on the 'at least one 2017/18 game booking history' yesterday lunchtime at the earliest. I know this because there was still the odd ticket but I couldn't add any because I was still waiting for it to go to general sale.

So I think the previous criteria had enough time and it should move on. They've only got 2 days to get these out now!

As i'm also waiting for general sale, I agree with this!

To play devils advocate they couldn't really win could they.

Put them on sale to 1+ and general salers are unhappy
Put it on general sale and anyone with 1+ that was slow or been given a late reference won't be happy.

Personally I think all things considered they've done a bloody good job considering the timeframes they had.

I live outside UK and still waiting on tickets. Hope they arrive tomorrow otherwise... well... who should I be phoning? Villa or Wembley?

Based on my own experiences in the past....

You bought from Villa so keep phoning them. However there should be an option to pick up replacements at Wembley ticket office if you don't receive them in the post.  Villa would need to notify Wembley of this in advance, hence needing to speak to Villa first.

I'm not sure those with 1+ who haven't got around to buying a ticket yet deserve too much sympathy if they miss out. I'm guessing the club have made this decision to try and keep the tickets out of the hands of touts which is a little more understandable.

I don't have too much sympathy for anyone who hasn't been to Villa Park this season and hasn't got a ticket.
