Villa tickets - common sense missing

[andybaha]

I cannot believe how little common sense has been shown by a club the size of Aston Villa. They have a stadium which holds 42,000. It is very unlikely with the number of home games they have coming up that 36,000 fans will want to see their reserves against a third tier team. So why not release 6k tickets, but set another block of tickets aside and then monitor home and away ticket sales. If Villa fans want all 36k then let them have tickets for the the set aside area. If it's obvious with a week to go that home demand is not high then release some more tickets to us, having sold out the initial allocation.

It is obviously very easy to buy tickets online in the Villa areas with no restriction on being sent BN post codes. So all that will happen is that there will be another thousand plus Albion fans mixed in with the Villa fans. Hopefully everyone will get along OK but surely it's a situation that could have been avoided.

Have you got yours in the post yet? How are you getting there? What time are you leaving? You have failed to answer any one of these questions. Shambles.

There is little evidence we have sold that many more, bearing in mind they would need to be bought in large blocks.

At £10 a time I think they'll probably sell out as well. Why would you want to hand a bigger advantage to the opposition?

Jesus. How much more of this drivel must we endure?

Does this make you feel any better Notters?

of course taking a punt on whether the away side may or may not have more support would have meant moving established home season ticket holders out of their normal seats but that would be okay wouldn't it.................after all if it happened to our fans at withdean we would just shrug our shoulders and accept it wouldn't we?

As opposed to quizzes about name the pub from a picture of the bog!
