Booked last night at about 8 pm, no queue, so quite straightforward -

Block 140 - as I will be by myself, hopefully someone will talk to me? - but probably not

What surprised me that some of the tickets were £120 +, mine was bad enough at £74.00 + £2.00 admin fee - I hope that everyone who wants a ticket gets one.

Should be a fantastic day (sounds like the Haircut 100 song, proves how old I am)

Martin- it did the same with me, persevere and it should clear and change to ‘Buy’.

Sorry I can’t be more helpful but at least I didn’t say ‘have you tried turning off and on again’

I was asked to look at two computer problems at work last week.

Twice I said, "turn it off and turn it back on again"

Twice that fixed the problem

Problem solved. I wrote on here last night that I couldn't get into the online ticket sale for the final. Had to phone this morning - which was very quick and efficient by the way - and the reason was that I changed my seat 4 years ago ad gave me a new fan ID, so effectively I've only been a ST holder for that amount of time according to their records. They put me back on my old ID number and sold me a ticket. Just saying  in case anyone else is having the same issue. Any, got my ticket without too much angst.

If I go to the villa web site I can read about the cup final tickets and I’m advised to go online to tickets.avfc.co.uk
When I click in that I’m taken to a page which doesn’t mention the cup tickets.
What am I doing wrong?

Me and my mate aren't going to get tickets for Wembley - is there going to be anything on at Villa Park like the final with Man U?

They should definitely do this. Lots of people that have previously got to Wembley will be missing out this time.

Alternatively - book a short break in Tanzania - the big screen crowd there could be amazing!

That’s literally an option for me! But a 22hr drive to Dar es Salaam safe to say my Mrs won’t be too convinced it’s in the best interest of little AV...
Really wishing I’d planned dates better now, but feeling blessed all the same.

The club confirmed on Twitter today that we have 58k ST holders and Claret members combined, which I suppose gives us 28k claret members.

Yikes.

But some ST holders might be members too. So they can get tickets for someone else who doesnt go as regularly. I know a few people that do this

If that's @AVFCSupport, I wouldn't trust them to open a can of sardines that was already open.

Thanks for that. It wasn’t obvious - to me anyway.

I sat on my own for the Chelsea semi final and Derby. Was fine (apart from the result in the first).
