My mate has just sent me this…

Got through
Couldn’t say where was in queue other than list started in June 2019 and means joe (his son) joined Nov 2019
Still offering to June 2019 when lot joined
Seems like can get refunded on membership if buy and subsequently get season ticket so probably renew that now
I think main advantage have is happy to get trinity road so may still come good if 3500 left

Not sure how your son got an email after a month on the list based on that but lucky him !

I am surprised there are 3,500 season tickets left to sell, it looks as though we wont sell as many as our 1st season back in the big league

There will be plenty of tickets on general sale for each home game
With 11k+ on the waiting list I think those 3.5k will go pretty quickly.

I'm not sure how accurate the waiting list figures are. I had a look at applying, not for myself but because a friend had asked me and I wanted to make sure I was sending him the right link.

You get asked which stand you wanted to go on the waiting list for, but I didn't see an option to select multiple stands. So, if you weren't bothered where you sat, you could put yourself on the waiting list for the Upper Holte and the Lower Holte and the Upper Trinity and so on, theoretically one person could be on the waiting list nine times, once for each available stand. Even if not everyone had done that, I could easily imagine the "11,000 waiting list" having less than half that number in terms of actual people.

Though I only skim-checked it so maybe you couldn't do that.

I thought I read that it didn't matter which stand you put (maybe Villa support on Twitter).  You'll definitely only be on once per fan ID and you can select any available seat once your turn comes.

Re Club Membership, I renewed mine about 10 days ago, mainly for the chance to buy tickets before they are on general sale.

Then I got contacted to say I had the chance to buy a Season Ticket, so I did that and was advised that I could keep the Membership or ask for a refund - I opted for the refund.

They did say you had to cancel Membership and claim a refund within 14 days of renewing and only if it had not been used, though I would imagine they might extend the 14 day rule if people are being contacted about  Season Tickets and taking up that offer.

The only (slight) pain was the person I spoke to about Season Tickets couldn't process the cancellation of the Membership and I had to ring back. UTV.

If you don’t take the offer of a season ticket when you are on the waiting list are you then removed from the list?

It seems to me that a lot of the 11,000+ who were on the waiting list have declined the opportunity to buy a season ticket

With 50 000 infections a day I am sure there are lots of people who are reticent about traveling to and attending Villa Park.

I’d be very surprised if there were 3,500 left,  because at the FCG they said that over 27,000 had renewed and of course we know that people off the waiting list have taken their opportunity up.

There is no way theres 3,500 left. There might be that many seats to choose from, but I would say they are only planning to sell a certain number of them.

That would make sense. You wouldn't restrict choice out of the 39,000 home seats to 30,000 specific seats. There will be some they won't sell such as in the middle Trinity for players etc, but you have pretty free reign of where else you'd like to make your home.

As you say we can't have sold 26,500, when two weeks ago we'd sold 27,000+.

They were starting the printing process on Monday.
It’ll be a while before they are dispatched to us.

I think you get 3 chances, so after 3 seasons you are removed.  Can't recall where I saw that but it was definitely something like that.

That’s right - at the FCG they said that you could decline and keep your place on the waiting list for 3 seasons before being removed and having to go to the back of the queue again.
People’s reasons for this could be things like someone’s just had a baby or other care commitments, changes in financial circumstances, or simply waiting for the person they want to go with to get to the top of the list so they can go together.

I’ve had an email to say I have 24 hours to buy a season ticket , but when I click the link , it’s just goes through to the waiting list option.

Which I’m already on.

I got my hopes up then as well 😞

I had the same AldridgeBoy.... Go back to main menu, and go to tickets, purchase season ticket option (try not to do it on a mobile if possible - It garbles the page).

Mine has just been confirmed purchased - Cannot wait to get back. Through Uni, career and house renovation, I haven't been able to commit to a season ticket for close to 20 years - Only being able to attend the odd games. Can't wait for that routine of heading back there every week!  #UTV
