Aston Villa v Man City League Cup Final Pre Match Thread

[ChicagoLion]

It should be done on games attended, I have done 5 home games and expect to do a few more, I will apply for a Final Ticket but won’t be too concerned if I don’t get one. I am still recovering from the Arsenal.

Are there any members with no games. It seems a waste of money to me. It's not like you get anything for your 35 quid apart from the ability to buy tickets first. The kids do better. They both like the ball anyway!

Probably is, one thing is for sure, there'll be plenty that have done 0-2, and they have the same chance of a ticket as those that have done a dozen at home and 8 aways. I don't see how anyone can think that's fair.

Blimey, there's some low opinions of fellow supporters on here.

Rogers Official  complaint to the Referees about the Nakambahandball, “ the clearest handball you’ll ever see” he also wants clarification.
What a twat.

Dear Mr Rogers,

Thank you for your recent enquiry. To clarify, we don't think it was handball.

Regards,

The FA

Good effort that.

There was a Southampton fan, still might be, that was a season ticket holder that flew to every home game from New York.

I have vague recollections of a story on the TV in the 1980s of a Dutchman who drove over from Holland  to every Stoke home game.

Man City have Cat 1-5 tickets but also sell the £125 and £150 club Wembley seats as seats only (premium 1 and 2). Any idea how we sell our club Wembley seats?

I’d imagine they’ll go to the Corporate customers won’t they?

I don’t think its fair and I can’t actually imagine claret members in the 0-2 bracket actually claiming it was unfair if they were told claret members with more games had priority over them. They are only in a mad bunfight with less than a half chance anyway!

On the positive side - of the 3 claret members in my family, only one of them might try for tickets so on that sample maybe they’ll be a lot less than 8000 trying.

My Dad had his so I could get him a ticket for the Southampton game, but he hates stairs so he won’t go to Wembley. My nephew is a cub and loves going to Villa Park but the Wembley experience would be wasted on him as yet.

I think there are a lot who can only get to one or 2 games because they live a distance away and may not be going for tickets.

I suppose Man City go there that often the corporates don’t sell so well. I imagine there’ll be a lot more Villa in club Wembley

One touting site has our tickets starting at £235 and theirs at £80.

[PeterWithesShin]

In 2010 tout tickets in the Manure end were at least half the price of ones in the Villa end.

[PeterWithesShin]

I should point out to be on the safe side that I am not in any way knocking people who do 1-2 (for example) games, just that i'm a firm believer that the more games a person does the higher up the priority list they should be. To me that's the fairest way.

I'll also say I don't have a dog in this fight as for personal reasons I have done 0 games this season, and won't be trying to get a ticket. But if i'd bought a membership i'd think it was unfair that I had the same chance of getting a ticket having done 0 games as someone that's done most of the games.

[dave.woodhall]

Anyone who buys a membership at the start of any season just in the hope of getting a cup final ticket deserves one for blind optimism.

[Three Spires Villa]

What if someone from Devon or Scotland or Europe (remember that) gets to 4, but someone from Selly Oak does 6, who deserves a ticket more? It’s hard I think to call.
