The FA Cup (Other football)

Let's see if Villa fuck season tickets holders over or not now ....

We get through to a SF and that’s where you’re taking this conversation?

It doesn't affect you, we get it 👍

Being lectured by someone who lives in fkin Toronto 🤣

If you’re a season ticket holder and you haven’t been to the fa cup games then you’ll be down the list. It’s not exactly F’ing us over. It’s how it it usually is.

I have no issue with Season Ticket Holders who attended the FA Cup games being ahead of me (circumstances due to times and days have stopped me going) but I have a massive issue with members being ahead of me as that's not what was advertised as a benefit in the season ticket renewal. If that happens again it is false advertising and I will not take it lying down an neither should any other season ticket holder. Priority access means just that season ticket holders should be offered the chance of a ticket then members. That's how it's put in the renewal benefits there is no *subject to attendance clause it's just says priority access to away and cup (including champions league) tickets.  If members are offered before ALL season ticket holders then the club are I'm breach of false advertising and should be held accountable

Relax mate , ST holders will get priority .

[cdbearsfan]

They didn't for the Preston game. We'll see.

That won't be the case will it?  I'd imagine it will be season ticket holders, then members who have attended a certain number of FA Cup and league games and then on a scale from there won't it?

[VillaTim]

We will have over 30,000 tickets for this one though. Chill .

[cdbearsfan]

I reckon there is a decent chance that the number of season ticket holders + the number of non-season ticket holders who attended the home FA Cup games will be greater than the number of available tickets. If not for this match then certainly for the final, should we make it.

Relax mate , ST holders will get priority .

Just like they did today, season ticket holders attended games (which is fair) then members then season ticket holders.

It isn't in any way fair that people who attended three games get preference over those who paid to attend anywhere between 19 and 27.

[VillaTim]

How many members are there

[VillaTim]

This would add weight to the notion they no longer want ST holders nor value them . Let's wait and see though before having a coronary. P

[astonvilla82]

For the fa cup home games the club have kept the prices low, so if you’re a season ticket holder and you didn’t go to any of the home games then surely it’s your own fault if you miss out? It’s hardly a new thing that those games would be taken into account should we get to Wembley.

One of the reasons I didn't attend present FA cup games was because of team selection and performances in previous years and thought F it why should I be bothered if they can't

For the semi we get something like 34k allocation so if offered to season ticket holders everyone should get a ticket but I do believe those that have been to the games should get 1st choice. My issue is that I've paid over £800 for a season ticket where it's stated I have priority only for someone who paid significantly less than I have getting priority ahead of me

[PeterWithesShin]

The club will say the right things about the importance of the loyal ST holders and fans but the reality is they'll actually view them differently. Every season ticket sold is lost revenue. And that is what modern football is at top clubs now. We're no different to any of the clubs we spent years disliking. And it's why I don't go any more.

Made sense to play the Liverpool game in the first available midweek rather than waiting until later on and potentially causing a greater fixture pile-up. If Villa get to both finals and Tottenham make the Europa League Final it would have been difficult to get all the games in.

What's the relevance of the Europa Final - does it clash with our league game with Spudz?

[cdbearsfan]

No, our game with Tottenham clashes with the FA Cup Final. The natural place to play a potential rearranged game would be the midweek after, but that's the date of the Europa League Final.
