Well easy that. Istanbul, Istanbul we are coming!

Looks like you can link in with others for sitting together even after purchase.

How much of the ground have we got? just behind the goal or much more?

oh and when does the code arrive please? how long before window opens?  I'm in the second tranche.

The category of ticket is mapped out in colour, so we sort of have half. I went with category 3 green and behind the goal. Most expensive category reds are on the sides.

cheers Ads! how lonmg before the window opens did the code arrive? I'm just wondering when to start panicking!

Which end are we?

[dorsetvillian]

Pretty easy. One of our lot purchased first and then sent the purchase code to the other Bournemouth Lions so that you can get seats together.

My email popped up half hour before the purchase window.

My email was 10 mins into the window so no need to panic if it doesn’t appear beforehand.

Tickets purchased.  All very easy!!

Yes. Very good process, clear and quick. One thing that got me when about to select was Fans First cat. What's Fans First all about? Those tickets were cheap but I still purchased a cat 2 just in case Fans First required some other entitlement.

I think it's the footballing equivalent of having a couple of affordable houses in a new development

The Fans First tickets are right behind the goal
But low down so like L4/L5 on the Holte but the first 5-10 rows.

If you look at the map that’s been doing the rounds it’s the areas in yellow.

Just reading this thread, how exciting to be a Villa fan at the moment. I'm envious of every one of you who make the journey to Istanbul but the years and distances you've put in means you've earned it.

Is anyone else playing the Group 3 waiting game? Is anyone going without a ticket?

We are flying from Stansted, and staying in the Aston Hotel, as my mate said it was a sign (he also didn't mind the price!).

I'm hating not knowing what is going on with the ballot. I keep looking at the tickets on Ticombo, and can see the number available has been rising today, as is the average price.

There's four in our party, no tickets guaranteed amongst us but a couple of Cat 3 chances. Should be an adventure.
