Aston Villa Loyalty Points Allocation

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

We are not going to sell 2,700 tickets in the first two days. Calm.

What happened to the 10% rule, I thought Villa had to give that as a minimum or does that not exist anymore?

That's FA Cup.

It's only 10% up to a certain amount. I know it's not the same league but Man U and Arsenal don't give out 10% and a lot of visiting clubs would take it.

The rule is:

Each Club must make provision for at least 2,000 visiting supporters at every home match or such number as represents 10% of the Club’s certified capacity, if less than 2,000.

The Premier League rule is:

3,000 tickets or, if the capacity of the home club's stadium is less than 30,000, such number of tickets as is equal to 10 per cent.

If this is the case, I'd be v happy!

Any idea of the Championship rule?

Yes, as I posted it above. Scroll up.

Looks like I am going to have to call in a favour from the villa fans at work who won't be going. To be fair I haven't been away for a couple of years now. Still think apart from the cup final, the Newcastle game in 1979 was my best day out. Hopefully if I can't get a ticket, by hook or by crook, we will get promotion by the Bristol city game.

That's FA Cup.

I thought the FA cup was 15%?

Really? Surely anyone with points is going to snap up a ticket or are you saying there are not that many over the threshold of points?

We don't have 2,700 in the first bracket - we probably have just about enough for Day 2. But not everyone will want to go

Gotcha, cheers for the clarification matey.

Absolutely not, could not possibly be.

But a large gathering of Albion fans at the Ground would certainly be a decent alternative.

Wouldn't argue with that.

Spoke to ticket office this morning, they believe second round have high chance of obtaining tickets but it all depends on how many 1901 club members get one.

Are there even 2,700 members with that amount of points?

A 2,700 1901 away following, that would be a site to behold.

It'd be so silent that the prawn sandwich munching would be audible. That and the occasional 'sit down!'

That's why it would be nice to know
