My ticket for Wembley has now appeared on the app.

Serious question. What does appeared on the app mean. All my tickets so far have been emailed to me. I don’t even have an app. HELP I’M PANICKING NOW.

The Villa App on the phone. If you have it on your phone and logged in, it will appear there as well as email message.

You don’t need the Villa App but as they have sent tickets in download format only and not printable  you download to Apple or Google wallet. If you don’t have smart phone or can’t use one contact ticket office and they should send print at home version.

. The games two days time. 20000 others panicking like me trying to contact the ticket office is going to be fun but here goes.

Good luck mate but do you not have a phone where you can use the wallet? It's Apple wallet on iPhone and Google on other types.

I’m analogue man. Hard copy season ticket and print at home. At least you usually get a few days to sort any issues not that I’ve had any so far. But this is cutting things a bit too close. May have to utilise younger members who are sitting in a different area of stadium if push comes to shove. Such fun.

We have tickets in different sections of the lower tier - can we all use the same turnstiles to get in?

I normally download cup tickets to Apple Wallet from the email.

However, having the App as backup proved useful at the PSG game.
As I was walking to VP, I suddenly realised that I hadn't seen a ticket email.
Searched my messages, but nothing showed up. Luckily the ticket was in the App, so I downloaded from there.

The ticket email must have been accidentally deleted while I was clearing out all the junk/repetitive messages that Villa send out

Surprisingly quick service on call to ticket office. All sorted printable tickets to be sent. But customer service operator said it might not be today. Finger nails being chewed.

That depends on, I think, on entrance area. For example below is area D turnstiles however I have no recollection if post entry  people are able to go to different blocks.

Mine's arrived on my phone now.

Two more big sleeps...I'm feeling sick.

You'll have a colour zone on your ticket, if they're the same you can use the same turnstiles. However, it's all joined up inside so you can split up briefly and reconvene on the other side.

Ta! I'm sure the 6 year old will find his way back to us eventually.

Anthony Taylor is the referee for the semi-final. Craig Pawson will be on VAR duty.

In that instance I recommend speaking to a steward!! They've got some discretion I'm sure

All part of learning and growing up. I am sure he will use his smell sense to find you😂

CP play a back 3 with Munoz a particular threat down their right. I'd guess that Digne might well play for that reason, and we'll use our RB as our attacking force. Maybe that gives Garcia a chance to shine?

Let’s hope that Emery does not try to match the 3 at the back with the disastrous consequences he did last time.

Back 5 really wasn't it? Bailey coming on at half time then at wing back. That was Emery's worst day with us I think. We were all over the place and got worse with every change.

Both Rogers and Watkins did play well from memory.
