The FA Cup (Other football)

[Des Little]

If that little fcuker plays silly buggers with cup final tickets, he may be found in the Gravelly Hill lake tied to his new bronze lion

Let's just beat Preston first before we hit the panic button about possibly having  to fight for tickets to Wembley .

[Pete3206]

There currently is no semi final. There's crazy talk in here. And I'm one of those twats who had a Wembley hotel room booked prior to the 1st leg at Bradford

[cdbearsfan]

It's not crazy, if we do make it they'll agree the order of precedence for semi-final tickets pretty much straight away. If we wait until then to complain, it'll be too late. They won't change the criteria once they've announced them.

(Also Amfy is going to the semi-final regardless of who wins...)

& despite being a ST holder at Villa and only having gone to 3 Preston games this season, I’m currently more sure of getting a ticket if PNE beat us!

[astonvilla82]

Pretty sure Liverpool cap seasons tickets at something like 28k and is widely considered to be because they make a lot more on match by match sales than a ST.

Believe they have 15000 for corporate seating alone,if I heard it correctly

[Mister E]

The future is clear: reduce STH and force everyone into a 'membership' status that does not guarantee either ticket-availability or seat-preference. It's a future that milks 'tourists' and maximises matchday revenue.
As a STH of some years, I am Heck's worst nightmare.

[SaddVillan]

Heck was brought in with a mandate to increase income from all sources.

If Villa Park is a sell-out most weeks, then the we've three (and a half) choices.

Increase revenue from ticket sales.
Reconfigure the ground to slightly increase numbers and raise ticket prices at the same time.
Rebuild the Witton end and (eventually) the Witton Lane
Move.

I’ve had the standard bullshit response to my complaint so I’ve just banged another response straight back.

They are using the proviso that they had stated that attendance at those FA Cup games might impact on ticket distribution for future FA Cup games. Of course we had just thought that would be like the previous times when they let season ticket holders who had been to previous FA Cup games have first dibs on the FA Cup final tickets before other season ticket holders.

It’s a bit like that time when they did a survey asking whether we’d like more places to sit down with our half time drink, & then made that mean that we wanted The Holte Suite & Ramsay’s bar to cost us an extra £100 a game.

[Clampy]

I've not had a reply yet other than an acknowledgement of my email.

[cdbearsfan]

Same. Amfy obviously getting a reply first because she's been on telly.

Well done for keeping at them. You've got more patience than me with the tossers running some aspects of our club.

If we do make it to Wembley, semi or full, it is right that first criteria should be STHs who have been to all FA cup games and and and…It is a fair way to distribute tickets.

[olaftab]

Yes you’re right I felt like a twat, quacked like a twat and looked a twat😢

[olaftab]

The distribution decision made for the PNE  away tickets is perfect. It’s not going to be like that if we have any future FA cup games this season.
