For anyone in doubt, got my account checked automatically by the ticket office and West Brom Definately doesn’t count towards 3/5 allocation, just incase anyone was planning on sitting in and trying on Saturday night

I’m on holiday so will be attempting this from the hotel...what is the recommended time to join the ticket office queue online? Does it reset the queue at 5pm or will it hold your place in the queue if you go online before 5pm?

I think once you're in the queue, you're in the queue. You can also request an email when you're at the front of the queue.

From about 15 mins before you get held in the pre-queue queue , but then get assigned a random place in the queue at 5 . So it’s worth being online before 5 but not massively before

Also worth having two different browsers open as each one will get assigned a random place , similarly your phone / I pad , though my experience was that doing the interactive map thing on the phone is hard so you pays your money etc .....

Cheers guys. I’ve brought my laptop over with me specifically to avoid iPhone/iPad ticket buying shenanigans so I’ll make sure I’m online and ready to roll just before 5pm. Everything has gone to plan so far with our results and holiday timings, so hopefully this will go smoothly too. 😎👍

Are there any issues with using a kids reference to buy an adult ticket?

I've used two pensioner references to buy adult tickets and it seemed fine.

If you think about it they'd much rather people trade-up tickets as they make more money!

The way I see it and doing some maths. Allowing for ST & Claret members - I would say 26500 which would leave 10000 tickets.

Based on our average attendance of 35000, I would say all 5+ games would be okay for a ticket with 3 games going very quickly.

I'd say this sounds about right, Saturday 5pm is going to be a bit of a mad rush!

I'd love to take a peak at the ticket stats. For example, I wonder how many ST refs go unused?

Once the fan ID is used you have the option of choosing "Adult" so you are paying the appropriate price even though it's a kid's ref. No problem when I did this for a mate a few days ago.

I’m a long standing ST holder but had to wait an extra day until my kid became eligible through the Villa Cub scheme, bit surprised that at 3 o’clock there were plenty of seats together in the family section and at 5.05 when I go to the head of the queue, there were none available at all together. Which appears daft as the criteria was that any adult had to be accompanying a child, who wouldn’t be able to sit with them.

Other than that it was painless and quick, despite me having to buy in the upper tier which I didn’t want.

If you don’t know your log in details I’d request a reminder now, I asked via the website yesterday and still havent had a password reset link come through. I did it via my customer  ref number in the end.

How did it work through your ref number instead of log in details?

I am interested as I have saved my details on my work laptop and it automatically gets me in when I use it. But if I try on my phone or ipad I fail. I have requested a new password reset a couple of times this season (caused me a big panic before last May at Wembley) and the link has never arrived. Basically I am relying on my work laptop.

Cheers for your help Jason.

Seems a bit strange that they've put the family section in the lower tier right behind the goal. This has been where everyone has stood up and the majority of the atmosphere has come from on our previous visits. The gradient of that area means that if people are stood up the kids won't be able to see, it would have been far better suited in the upper tier. Or better still, don't have a family section and just let everyone choose where they want to sit. Almost as bad as Derby having designated singing blocks.
