ED Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I would say don't worry about it then. A lot of people cant afford / be arsed to trek to London and drop 150 quid on a day out. Luckily I live 2 stops away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 You get about 35000 for the Semi Final so most people who have been to a few games will get one seeing our attendances are down. What will probably guarantee people getting them is attending every remaining game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Wembley is shit. Yes it's a character-less, atmosphere-less, IKEA stadium. That said having Villa beat Liverpool in the FA cup final with "Stevie G" crying into his socks might just make up for the sub-par stadium. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam3773 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 It's annoying because I live far away I haven't been able to go to any of the other games FAC games. I would love a trip to Wembley but definitely understand the allocation system. Just hope there's plenty left over afterwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the staggering is the same as this one then the number of FAC games you've been to doesn't mean anything unless you're a season ticket holder.

Villan4Life Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) I've had a season ticket last 7 seasons until this season (when lost my job in the summer and couldn't afford it) went to 9 away games last season! This season have been to 1 FA Cup game and 2 League games at Villa Park. Got a long booking history so if based it on cup games this season and not history doubt I will be able to get a ticket myself! Just the luck of the draw Edited March 6, 2015 by Villan4Life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 6, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2015 It's not based on cup games (or at least this round wasn't). If you have a season ticket then those who have been to more cup games get priority. But if you don't have a season ticket then it's based on league games. The FAC didn't seem to come into it.

There is a tout near Wembley Tube station! he was there against Man Utd and Chelsea as a friend of a friend purchased off him!! Tickets are £400 worth a shot if people haven't got the right criteria! once in lifetime chance to see us win in final (if we get there) at Wembley!!

Neil Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Honestly couldn't care less about the fact that wembley is shit. It's all about the buzz of the day out, and the company we keep...we had such a fantastic time last time...a toss up between wembley and hamburg for footballing days out with the lads. Will be calling up and claiming my ticket as soon as we win, cherish these days out as we don't get many! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Your credibility on VT also counts - I will probably get about 400 tickets, where DDID and Mantis will only one between them Edited March 6, 2015 by smetrov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty confident I'd get a semi ticket (if we get there) but not so sure about the final (big if we get there). I'd definitely consider paying over the odds but not sure about that much.

AlwaysAVFC Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I was a regular then so wouldn't have been an issue but Chelsea tickets were pretty easy to get. The fact we had been there not long before demand probably wasn't as high as I think it would be this time round (fingers crossed) after what we have gone through for the last few years everyone who is eligible will want to go. I'll be touch and go this year if it happens as I've hardly been. Doing my glory hunter bit tomorrow though and will be out. I'll be the one with a half & half scarf and selfie stick.

omariqy Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Went to both Wembley days 5 years ago and had great fun. Not a ST holder anymore but know people who work there so no doubt can get tickets if needed. Plus I go to 5 or 6 league games a season still.
