Doing the right thing

[VillaTim]

got a mate flying over for the Sheff Utd game , bringing his young son to Villa for first time ever. Looks like their only option of getting 2 seats together is via LG or TV. Should get some interesting feedback

Are the tickets on sale yet?

not yet , i think as a ST holder you can only buy 1 extra ticket ? thats why i told them TV or LG was their best bet for getting x2 seats together

Then how do you know he won't get two together if they're not on sale?

based on past experience it is quite difficult to buy 2 together.

I’ve got two grandkids, who’ve started to express an interest in going to a match.Have to say when I was their age my old man just took me down and paid two bob to get me in. Those days are long gone. But it’s important I get them down, they’re the next generation of supporters. Getting 3 seats together is almost an impossibility these days. So it looks like I might have to bite the bullet and fork out to let them experience Villa Park. It’s just the way it is. Anybody booing my grandkids had better tread carefully if I see them later though.

exactly the point i was trying to make Bill.

With our memberships, me and my two kids have been managing to get 3 together quite often. Usually in the North Stand.

Membership costs 40 quid a year for adults, 20 quid a year for kids. I suppose that is a premium in itself but if all the people you are buying tickets for are members then you'll be fine getting two or three together, just not in the Holte. Season ticket holders can buy unlimited tickets for others. Everyone will need to have a ticket ID but that would be the case no matter how you did it.

This game is the 8pm Friday night before Xmas, difficult one to judge in terms of ticket sales

Bloody hell, I’ll be at work. I was looking forward to that.

I think it will put more people off than it will attract

If they become members they will be fine, likewise if they know a season ticket holder there's a window they can buy tickets for them. Not much availability in the Holte granted but plenty in the other three stands.

Being the Friday night before Xmas I imagine there’ll be more than the usual number of season ticket holders looking to put their tickets on resale for that game.

Could be our lowest attendance but a lot of people will have finished work in the week before which will help. As shit times go for a football match, this is amongst the shittest and far more inconvenient than The Christmas Eve/Sunday fixture the Wolfs keep moanling about.

Must admit I’m quite looking forward to the Sheff Utd game and the timing. We’ve been  averaging well over 40k for Home League games this season quite why anyone thinks a game in the early/middle of the Christmas holidays is somehow going to be the reason for everyone sacking it off seems like needless miseryarse-ness to me. Anyway everyone will make their own decision.

[Chris Harte]

I think Man City kicking off at 8.15 on a school night and live on Amazon Video is more likely to make people sack it off than the Sheffild United game.

Im not sure I agree with that. Everyones situation is different, but family and friends all the way for me on xmas eve before the Villa. The Friday 22nd isnt great but it frees up the Saturday to do xmas stuff as well.

There'll be lots of work do's that night too which will rule a fair few out

Staying over in Brum that Friday night. A Villa win and Black Eye Friday in town, great stuff.
