MessiWillSignForVilla Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Has anyone on here bought tickets not through the club? i.e. from third party ticket sites, if so what was your experience with them like and are many to be trusted? Only asking as I'm desperate to go to the final, but only been to two games this year (both North-East away games, as I'm currently at Uni in Newcastle), so it's unlikely I'll be able to get some through the club and some sites are looking at £600 for a ticket which would be a lot of money to be swindled out of. **** the FA with their ridiculous allocations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnmacf Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I've not been in this thread for a while as I presumed we would have sold out the allocation ages back. What's going on?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fight Like Lions Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I've not been in this thread for a while as I presumed we would have sold out the allocation ages back. What's going on?! Just Villa splitting the allocation days across a wide time period so they can cope with the admin! Yesterday was the first proper day for non season ticket holders (unless you'd been to every round of the cup and several league games). It's expected to sell out today.

I think you've missed the point. I think the point of this sentence was about the FA only giving each club 25,000 tickets in a 90,000 seater stadium, hence there are less tickets to go round. He wasn't blaming the FA for how our tickets are being allocated to fans. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blandy Posted May 13, 2015 Moderator Share Posted May 13, 2015 **** the FA with their ridiculous allocations It's not the FA's fault that you've only been to two games. Peculiar answer. As Stevo says (and it's the same every year) 40,000 tickets (15,000 more than either club gets) go to the FA family etc." as "reward" for God knows what. These tickets then often end up getting sold on, or passed on. How many games a fan has been to or not has nothing to do with that. The two clubs should get (at least) the same allocations as for the Semi-final. That still leaves 25,000 other tickets (or 8,000 excluding the middle tier). It's like the choice of referee - instead of the sane choice of "the best ref of the season" they go with buggins turn. A ref can only ever do one FA cup final. It's an outdated club of numpties that organise the way the FA cup is run. They're happy enough to chuck tradition out the window and move kick-off for extra TV money despite the travel problems it causes supporters, but perish the thought they'd actually let supporters of clubs in the final a decent allocation of tickets, when there's backs to scratch and handshakes to be made. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted May 13, 2015 And if they'd gone with the same allocation as the semi final, only an extra 6 or 7 thousand tickets per club, there's a good chance that MWSFV's 2 game history would have been enough for a ticket.

ChrisVillan Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 The football family tickets go to people who deserve them. Yes, very often they're farmed out from there in a way they shouldn't be. And yes, maybe an England game or two would be more appropriate. I have far more of a gripe with the corporates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time we get to a final it's the same. Every time any ream gets to the FA Cup final it's the same. Every time we have an election and elect a minority government it's the same. It's always someone else's fault. We knew the rules before a ball was kicked in the competition. It's not going to change. It's even listed as a benefit of buying a season ticket. Instead of complaining about being unable to get tickets this year, perhaps people could complain TO THE FA so that it's fixed for future seasons.

I would imagine far less go to the football 'family' than go to sponsors, corporates etc. they catch them al under the same banner but I have no doubt who gets the most. Surely the appropriate time to recognise the football family is the community shield? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
