Aston Villa v Man City League Cup Final Pre Match Thread

[Holte L2]

Does anyone have experience of entering level 5 the upper tier?
I've always sat in the lower but this year I've opted for block 537. Level 5.
I made the call to do a group booking for 6 people on Monday and then to go back next week and get my stepson ticket.
Theres still a few seats left in our block. I had planned to stand him next to me and my dad.
Does anyone know if you can walk around the whole of the upper tier?
My thinking is that if I cant get him a ticket in my block then I'll be able to get something else in the upper tier and he'll still be ok to use the same entrance as me and stand him with me.

We stood in the top tier for the play off last year and walked from one end of our support to the other after the match, I don’t remember any obstacles, you should be fine doing that, I’m thinking I might have to do the same.

[Holte L2]

That's a relief. I cant decide if I've done the right thing or not.
I wanted row 2 of the upper tier so I thought I'd get what our group wanted and we'd stand him with us as he's only small.

As far as I know you can walk all the way round Wembley on both tiers, the only bits they block off are for segregation.

[Holte L2]

Nice one. Ideally I want my step son's ticket as close to ours as possible to save hassle but it's a good piece of mind.

I was in the top tier for the FA Semi, and I recall being able to walk around from almost behind the goal to about the halfway line (the segregation line) to chat to other family at half time. You might have difficulties getting him to be able to stand by you unless there is an unoccupied seat close by.

We had extra people stood with us the whole game at the playoff final, plenty of room.

City had trouble selling their tickets for their previous fmestic cup finals.  Could be the same this year. Wonder what they do with those tickets?

They obviously wont give us more even though we could sell double the amount city leave unsold.  Seems a waste to me for our fans

[Marlon From Bearwood]

City returned 5,000 tickets for the FA Cup semi final last season and the final also went to general sale as I know a glory hunter who’d only ever been to 2 or 3 City games and got a Final ticket.

So it’s possible they don’t sell out.

If goes to general i wonder if villa fans will try get some in the city end?

Any returned by city should go ro villa fans in my opinion

I'm sure they aren't going to officially sell tickets in the Citeh end  to Aston Villa fans.

City won't sell out

[Drummond]

I guess there's the possibility of tickets near the half way line not being sold by them and given to us. But unlikely.

Yeah its wishful thinking. Which begs the question why the hell have city been given more tickets than us?

I would guess it goes off average crowd size, and common sense doesn't come into it.
