barrycowdrill Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 My next door neighbour is a villa fan (no idea how but all his family are) takes his lad down to VP a few times a season anyway, his brother has been given 2 tickets for our end. So he wants to get another for his lad. So I’ve explained what he needs to do. Absolute pain in the arse to get a fiver ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deane koontz Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Hope the club realize sooner rather than later how arse backwards this set up is. Especially for games like this. Why make it hard to buy tickets. Morons I know a few more who were talking about going just assuming it was pay on the gate 🥴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of that ‘booking fee’ and you’ll have people buying by phone or online rather than in person. You’d understand it being a booking fee if it was a pound for the transaction rather than per ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrycowdrill Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Will always be the last min Larrys who get one game out of the way before sorting the next but with 2 big games within 3 days of each other many will be choosing one of them. Based on Saturdays forecasted attendance I’d say Villa has been dropped by the majority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might ask for details that weren't required before, but surely they're not saying "Sorry, the system is too complicated so we can't sell you any additional tickets." Surely?

Asked how many sold so far, they said 14,000 approx. They are expecting big sales tomorrow. So 15,000 plus as I said yesterday is going to be non-too-shabby. It suggests the large majority are not being put-off by membership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a few more days of purchase (including a match day tomorrow) we are going to add quite a few more. 2 hours ago, radcliffe white said: So potentially looking more like 17 come Tuesday which isn’t bad And if we do end up with this or even a 1/2K below I’m struggling to see why people would be upset with the crowd. I repeat we only got 17k (didn’t we?? - I’m not 100% sure..) in a league cup semi final!!! I really don’t know what crowds we’ve got in big league cup at home in the modern era and what we’ve had pre-membership. But I’d be surprised if it’s more than what we get Tuesday. In the end what does it matter anyway? Good times are back, we’re playing against a big team again. I can’t wait. COYFWM 👏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
