Rugeley Villa Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Selling fast, and looks like it’s going to be a sell out, or very close. Only 1500 left before they have to open the trinity upper. Can see them opening it by the end of this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2018/12/07/trinity-road-upper-stoke-leeds-open Valid a week ago: Quote Aston Villa fans are showing their huge support for Dean Smith’s men over the festive period – with Trinity Road Upper now opening for our home double. We face Stoke City on Saturday 15th December and Leeds United on Sunday 23rd December. Gary Rowett and Marcelo Bielsa bring their respective teams to B6 for what should be a cracking duo of matches. Fans are flocking to Villa Park as Smith continues to produce a team of exciting potential – with top results flowing home and away. The clash with Stoke is currently at 33.5k while Leeds is on a terrific 34.6k. Both games are on general sale. Season ticket holders who previously sat in Trinity Road Upper can claim their old seat for both matches if they’d like it – please call 0333 323 1874 to action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Only around 1600-1700 left. Looks like a sell out. QPR is going to be a big crowd too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wedge Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Only three single seats left according to the online ticket map - and one of those is in the corporate in the Trinity Rd. Never know how accurate it is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djemba_Villan Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Well i've buggered up and left it too late to get my ticket. Sold out now. Who is our reseller these days? We used to sell through Viagogo IIRC but can't find any anywhere for this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chips'ngravy Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 The games against Swansea and Blues were 'sold out' yet the official attendances were 41,326 and 41,200, both over a thousand under our official capacity of 42,788. Even allowing for segregation issues vs Blues this seems strange. Can anyone shed any light on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see where we've lost 1500 seats and official sources including the club still state it to be well over 42k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have extra segregation. Our away end used to house just shy of 3k. The max we give teams now is 2750. Without checking, but our first home game of our relegation season in prem was against Man Utd, and that was sold out at 42.200. Our full capacity used to be 42700.
