Hopefully you can get a refund if it arrived that late

Honestly I can’t be arsed with the admin for £20.

I swapped with a bloke when I first got in so's he could be by his kid. I then had two empty seats next to me, and I could see a few odd ones around. I went up to join my brother in the second half as he hadn't got anybody within 3 seats either side of him.
sounds like quite a few gaps. You can't really tell off the pics as people spread out slightly so if its the odd seat here and there it won't get picked up on pics from a distance

Just send a quick email to ticketsalesAF@avfc.co.uk
It’ll only take a couple of minutes. You might get a refund and at least you’ll have registered a complaint.

The ticket office have previous for sending tickets out too late, they’re absolutely hopeless in that regard.

It’s enough admin to complain re late tickets, I’m not getting involved in badge talk, though I am tempted to include a link to the Crest review thread so they can be bored senseless with page after page of waffle we’ve all had to sit through and which can be fairly summarised as “It’s shit”.

The WMP that deal with Villa games have given 4393 as the number, and yet the according to 3 lots of tickets we were given they totaled 4960 and all 3 batches sold out. And if you look at the away end there's no way it was 10% empty. The only empty seats apart from maybe the odd one here and there were the buffer seats between home and away fans at either side of our support.

And on the plus side, WMP reported no arrests or ejections for our support.

I have enlarged the photo of us and could count 9 obviously empty seats. 3 of those must have been because the 3 seats in front of me were occupied by 6 teenagers. If you count up the number of empty seats between where our fans ended at the side and the stewards stood, it could account for the difference. As an aside, nice comments from their fans.

Last season the tickets for Wolves arrived over a week after the game took place. When I enquired a few days before the game, the ticket office insisted they would arrive as they had apparently sent them out, but we had to collect them from the Wolves ticket office.

Also has anyone received their Everton tickets yet? I haven't.

Just received my Arsenal cup final tickets.  Hopefully Sherwood has us bang at it for this one.

Tickets for Everton are "digital" apparently.
Not received anything with regard to them....email etc or even paper coach tickets which I purchased at the same time.
