Ooo I like that, not sure about the blockbusters pattern but I like the overall plan

Apparently the current GA+ areas (terrace view, lower grounds etc), are never sold out this season, can someone who attends all games confirm this is indeed the case?

Well there are always tickets going on sale late in the areas reserved for these options.

Are they though? I didn’t think Terrace View gives you food as part of the package, that’s the Lower Grounds isn’t it?

We can ask @sidcow can't we

Yes

It's difficult to decide what is a full house or sell out as some areas are blocked off for different games.

We probably haven't sold out out for a while because of this. I don't understand the secrecy behind attendance figures, it's not like there's a competition or anything

You should give your posh tickets to @Stevo985 and you should sit in R1

Seems I've joined the Terrace View club. 

Didn't buy my season ticket by 5.00 and by 9.00 there were no tickets anywhere

After a convoluted buying process I've managed to get a couple of TV tickets. Very expensive mistake.

Still, I suppose I can buy a few prawn sandwiches.

Anyone who boos me I'm going to waive my lower Holte season ticket in their face. 

Well you did only have a few days to get your ticket, it's not like you were given 45 mins and a shit app... don't forget to hide ya lanyard though, I'll still boooooooo ya

Get this man on the pitch before the scouse kick off

@CarryOnVilla - apologies, I didn't reply yesterday - had to go to bed down here, and 'ran out of replies' - I can only post 5 times a day as I'm a newbie! 

To answer your question - I'd pitch these design to the Villa, - as I think they fit the bill and represent Villa for shirt, media, merchandising, stadium etc.  I'd also pass on the blue AV diamond on claret background with gold lion,  from someone on here previously - Teale's Tash I think - that is a fantastic design, unique for villa designs, has heritage with the old frontage and top of old Trinity Rd fascia vibes, fairly unique (I can only think of Monchengladbach with a diamond shape) and just stands out for Villa, looked good on kit mock up and great design - doesn't say our name, but I don't think it needs to.

@Teale's 'tache - if that was your design, can you repost it please? - I can't locate it in the 240 pages of this thread.  And I hear your point on designers possibly having their hands tied - which may well be the case, Id love to hear the brief they were given!  Apologies if I came across too hard, when they are probably restricted to half a job, to tweak the rubbish we already have, to save costs, and potentially evolve one slow mutation at a time, but its so bad!....

Summat shit that no-one likes

The Premium Experiences button isn’t even there for this game for me.  So not sure how others have booked in TV and LG.  Thankfully I have my own seat sorted!

Edit.  Seems to be a problem when viewing on my phone.

Same here, you have to access via the separate TV or LG link instead of the match one

So I seem to have ended up with 2 tickets with restricted view and 2 tickets with “restricted legroom”.  How bad are these tickets in block B6 in Lower Trinity corner going to be?

The restricted leg room seats in B1 (back row of lower section) aren't too bad and I'm 6'2".

I just have to stand up every so often.

Restricted view are usually just a pole to the side or front of you. It depends what row you are on

Apologies, it was an obviously poor attempt at humour. I’m perfectly able-bodied, I was joking about the lengths I would have gone to to get a ticket!

It's been a long night

Desperate times call for desperate measures. It was a last resort when I was blocked from buying the last remaining wheelchair space. 

It has been a right faff. Where will your space be now then if you couldn't get a wheelchair space

After god knows how many unsuccessful attempts I had to sell my soul to the devil and get Lower Grounds tickets. I’ll just have to drink 10 pints beforehand to get my money’s worth. 

You won't sleep tonight now, you'll have nightmares

I think the delay is quite possibly linked to our champs league qualification but not sure if its necessarily pricing.

I wonder if we will get more of a compulsory cup scheme.

Or they are still to identify all of the areas for GA+ and it may impact some current ST seats.

I have friends in the first row of the holte where seats are unsold for european comps, they have to apply for available seats each game. I wonder if the champs league comes with any more restrictions?

Are the advertising boards any higher than prem games, that's the supposed reason for some front rows being blocked off.. they don't look any higher from other parts of the ground

Don't think I'll be there that early

I'm hoping it's everyone being stuck with stuff in their basket. 

It's basically a sell out already if the website is accurate

I'm showing 4 or 5 blocks still with tickets

Just now, Stevo985 said:

Nope

 

It's a **** shambles

If you're on the app don't ever close it, always stay on and just click back or refresh. That way you don't leave the queue. It will work eventually

Took a full 90 minutes to get two seats together for me, which reading your experiences above, doesn't sound bad. 

I played the game in my head

Yep, I got in a queue a third time. After it seemd to work. Clicked home tickets.

Now in another queue. For half an hour

You done yet?

Much like ender4, I think I've got 2 but I'll wait for the email confirmation before believing it

Bloody joke this is, I've got to selecting tickets 3 times and then it times out and goes back to beginning

Its teasing me now
