not really - standard practice. You buy something online (or over the phone)  if it doesn't arrive - you ask for your money back 

they only dispatched them on Friday though.

You'd not go to watch Villa because a plastic card was late arriving?

No, because having renewed in April - I feel they have had time enough to get the stuff ready. If they weren't ready the contingency plan needs to be something better than queue up at the ticket office for an hour or so on saturday evening.

Doesn't it amount to the same thing?

Not sure I understand. I have purchased 2 season tickets every year since lambert arrived - and held one for many years before that. Having sat that watching miserable football for most of that time - tipping point comes - some have not renewed , I have.  Basically if they can't get two tickets out for someone who has forked close to £4k in recent years - then expect me to Q for a temporary ticket on a saturday evening - that's my tipping point.

If they knew they were having problems why not just post temporary tickets for this game.

Just had a call from my son - his junior ticket hasn't arrived yet.

I too am a long time season ticket holder (since Graham Taylor's first season in 1987) but that's irrelevant to the fact the cards may still arrive before Saturday (the club has stated they have started sending them out), or our club may need to make a temporary arrangement. If a temporary arrangement is required, I hope it doesn't inconvenience us too much. Either way, I find it curious that your 'tipping point' is related to this than, for example, the relatively large cost.

I've replied (above) to this post but forgot to quote it for context and can't manage to copy and paste it to edit my post; apologies.

I suppose I want to feel like a valued customer  - £700 is a lot of money for me.

Still not got mine yet. Anyone else still waiting? 

It's ridiculous really I renewed ages ago. Leaving it all so late is asking for trouble. The post is so unreliable, how much will they have to pay to produce duplicates when things haven't turned up?

The cards haven't arrived yet because we aren't valued. Villa will have contracted a company to supply the cards (a company they have used successfully before and/or with a decent reputation) who have had a delay in providing the cards. This might even be down to a small part of the manufacturing or printing process. I'm sure our club are annoyed at the delay because if continues it might entail a significant additional amount of work for club staff and some level of inconvenience to it's customers.

Not had my 3 yet either but there's still time. Despite anecdotes, the UK post is generally very reliable. The club will know that posting out late before the first game means that the few that are genuinely 'lost in the post' won't have time for copies (they are mass produced so I imagine they are quite cheap) to arrive before Saturday afternoon, so I suspect they will be annoyed with their supplier. In nearly 30 years, I think it's happened to me once - that I had to collect a paper ticket for the first game because mine didn't arrive. Fortunately I was one of only a few so there was no delay at the ticket office but I appreciate it will be very busy if 20,000 of us are in the same boat.

OT but i remember a cup game against Liverpool, 10/15 years ago now. There was a cock with the tickets and ticket master had advised fans to collect tickets before the game. The queues were horrendous and kick off was delayed. 

I took my mom to that game, it was a bitterly cold evening and she wasn't impressed. I can't remember exactly how long the game was delayed but i remember thinking that if the game went into ET, anyone that came to the game via public transport were going to struggle to get home. With a couple of minutes left and the game all square, Gerrard conned the ref into giving him a free kick which led to the winner. 

 

Back OT. 

My card hasn't arrived yet, but i received my sons last week.

The 4-3 game, and the start (or it seemed to be) of Gerrard continuously **** us over.

It was about an hour and a half, surprised it went ahead. Was a cracking game to be fair

Agreed, the club will do all in their power to get us the ticket on time. If it's late it's late, nothing to worry or demand money back. Plus with Tony being so customer centric if they are late I wouldn't be surprised to see extra money added to the villa cash thing as a sorry.
