We gave them over 3000 tix so I would expect them to repay the favour.6000 min

The official away support for Villa at home was 3258 which is roughly 11% of the capacity of the Amex.
11% of the capacity of Villa park which is stated as 42785 is 4706.
Villa's average attendance this season has been 10000 below capacity.

Looking at their attendance figures so far; if they only give us 2,500 seats they'll more than likely have at least 4,500 empty ones they could have sold to us. At a guestimated £25 per ticket with an average spend of £5 on beer/pie/soft drink, that's £135,000 in lost sales.

I can't see Villa not taking the cash here as they'll only be playing for pride.

Villa spent £50m on transfer deadline day
12m of that was on a fat striker who they have now loaned out to Forest.
I don't think lost beer money is top of their agenda.

You make a valid point about their wasteful spending but I just hope there is an accountant up their arguing for a larger BHA allocation.

I can't think of another reason they'd give us extra tickets other than some sort of 'gentleman's agreement' with the club over their allocation at the Amex.
