The FA Cup (Other football)

[London Villan]

I've got the same challenge - two of our tickets qualify for Friday, but the third is not until next week...

Grab what you can and put a Meat Loaf track on.

Can anyone remember how to buy tickets for a group of ST holders who sit together ?
Is it just a case of having linked fan ID’s. I cant remember from last time.

[TomsL4]

As long as their fan id's are grouped to yours , just add the relevant tickets and assign to the id's

Put the tickets you want in the basket. The checkout page will scream at you in big red letters telling you you're not eligible to purchase. On each version of your name that's written down next to a ticket, click on it, then click the 'Find' prompt underneath a list of mispellings of yours and your friends and families names, then enter their Fan ID and then either their surname or postcode (I wonder who's friends with someone, doesn't know their surname, but does know their postcode?). Then it should recognise them, assign the ticket to them, and repeat the process until all your friends have assigned tickets and no more red is on the page.

You can do the grouping together stuff, but to be honest, the effort you've got to do to do it is greater than the 20 seconds per ticket to follow the above.

The only really fairly way to do it is to give priority to those fans who haven’t made it to a game this season but have diligently hunted down streams, watched games in pubs and borrowed friends and family’s passwords for games live on Sky or BT. They haven’t had a look in.

I've got a feeling that members with three FA Cup games aren't as high as everyone seems to think. Saw someone speculating online it was 5k-6k. I think it's probably closer to 2.5k-3k.

I think the club know that all season ticket holders will get a ticket for the semi.

Be interesting how they approached allocation if we got to a final, as that would be tighter and I would hope that they are a little fairer to members who've been to all games across all competitions.

I’m a member, Southampton on Saturday will be my 20th game this season - including a few European aways …..but didn’t go to any home cup games so I’m in the bottom criteria of “supporters with a previous Aston Villa booking history” same with my son. I imagine there’s no chance that availability will filter down to us.

Not complaining about the allocation, just begging for a spare if anyone can help…..

That’s a bit of a kick in the knackers.

My Dad dragged me down to every home game from October 1966 onwards. If I had used the word shit (we were very very shit), he would have had me publicly flogged on the pitch in front of a 13k crowd. Then Doug Ellis and The Doc arrived. The difference then was if I had swore in front of my Dad, I'd have been publicly flogged in front of a 40k crowd. That's not 500 words, but can I have a ticket please ?

[dave.woodhall]

Which particular time when we were shit are you referring to?

[cdbearsfan]

I think I should get the ticket because I'm great. In fact, I think I should have two tickets in case one of them doesn't work.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

I've bought a ticket through a legalised touting operation. Its far too fucking expensive but it'll be the one football match I go to this season. Its not a fair allocation of tickets; it never is and there are some ****** making a lot of money as they always do. It hasn't changed since Stan Flashman was in short trousers. Best of luck to all that are looking for tickets, it's a shit business.

I've just drew a picture of me, with a dog, in the nip.  Sorry, I didn't understand the question.

I saw that they were very expensive.
