away fans allocation at villa park is normally in two stages - lower tier (2300) and upper tier (3000) so max 5300 - should be no problem and the match won't sell out so would be massively surprised if there weren't tickets available on the day

Blackburn Rovers' initial allocation for the 3rd round game at Villa Park was 2,700 tickets in the Doug Ellis Stand (upper and lower tiers). Prices for away fans were £20 (adults), £10 (juniors) and £18 (concessions).

For the second leg of the Carling Cup game at Villa Park on Wednesday January 20, Blackburn Rovers were given an allocation of up to 6,300 tickets, with supporters allocated initially in the North Stand upper, with the remainder available in the Doug Ellis Stand upper and lower tiers. Prices for this game for away fans are £29 (adults), £23 (concessions) and £15 (juniors).

Another newbie, what are you jokers on there wont be enough to go round in the away areas.

Season Ticket Holder of 26 years standing here. I deserve top priority as it is thanks to me that we have a club at all.

I suppose minor recognition is also due to Dick Knight, Fatboy Slim, Tony Bloom, Paul Samrah, Tim Carder, etc... for the small part they have played.

However, if it's going to be really snowy that day, I don't think I'll bother. It felt pretty cold at Wycombe and there really wasn't any snow around then. Perhaps the club could give us some free hats, scarves and gloves and if they could pay for the travel to VP too, that would be good.

Thanks.

Villa only got 25k for their previous round game against blackburn, i dont think you need to shit yourself about not getting a ticket...

 

[brightonmad999]

It will be season tickets 1st and then blue or white members and the rest will go on on sale people who arer not season ticket holders and everyone will get a ticket so dont worry .

I want a free scarf like we got at Peterborough for the snowy drawn cup game.

And with Emirates flying to Birmingham, I also want a ticket.

obviously those with original LIFETIME AMS will have priority (after season tickets i suppose).

i got the cane for bunking off school and watching us lose 4-0 to Walton

No disrespect to Blackburn but we're a little bit bigger than them

We'll see. No chance of them selling out so they should give us 5,000 or so. Do you honestly rekon we'll take that many?

 

[R. Slicker]

course having a season ticket i just get to spectate which is even more fun

And the award for the most annoying, sanctimonious poster goes to.............

And by the way, what's the signature about? Abusing another poster everytime you post. Although I don't agree with everything Withdean Wanderer says, I think his football knowledge is way above yours.

Didn't they delete all those who didn't renew for the new LIFETIME WHITE MEMBERS scheme ?

 

[seven stands]

I can't wait!

Nowhere near as close to the front of the queue as for the Tottenham and West Ham games having given up my season ticket, but I'm sure I'll be there one way or another.

if you had a season ticket but gave it up say two years ago do you automatically become a white member ( or whatever its called )?

No I think you have to apply to join each year.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Is the kick-off 1pm or 3pm?

 

[sully]

You don't have to apply to be a white member each year, but I did have to make sure I didn't have to pay £10 to become a member when they changed the system, which coincided with me no longer having a season ticket.

The whole system seems a mess now, so I can see this bringing the ticketing system to a standstill. Most of the fair-weathers will only now discover that their lifetime AMS no longer exists, but they may already be on the system with an account number they don't know and are therefore unable to register for the on-line ticket system (assuming this will be used to sell these tickets). I had to ring the ticket office to ask them what my account number was as it told me my details were already registered, but not with the membership number I previously had and the club didn't tell anyone their new numbers. I've just discovered that my brother-in-law and sister-in-law have the same issue.
