I only entered because my son urged me to do it as he wanted to go. When I tried I couldn't add him despite being linked to my account. Turned out he couldn't wait so has entered himself independently. I've now got a ticket. Waiting to hear from him if he's had an e-mail too, I just know he won't. I can't even give him mine because of the photo ting. If he hasn't I'm just telling him I've failed too. I assume if I don't take up the option they'll go back into a second round ballot. Forgot to say the lad was also successful. Phew! Gonna buy my ticket soon. He's already done his! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted May 17, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 17, 2021 I've had to go a fair distance away from my lad which is a shame. I assume no one is going to stop me moving over to sit with him. From what I've heard about the FA Cup Final fans were just ignoring the separation and just sitting where they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Managed to get as close to my ST seat as was available in L8, have ended up 5 rows closer to the pitch and a little along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blunther Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 There were some available for £27 apparently, but we're still one of the most expensive teams in the PL for tickets for the last match. Burnley free; Baggies, Leeds, Man U, Everton, Palace, even Arsenal are under £30. hopefully not a sign of things to come. I know our season tickets are among the cheaper end, and there's a waiting list. With a business head on you'd up the prices, but you'd hope this isn't just business. If we start jacking the prices up then I'm out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I paid £27 on the Holte. 9 teams have cheaper tickets available at the lowest end of their pricing but only Burnley and Baggies have a flat rate below £27 (love that Burnley are doing it for free, great gesture). Leeds is £27 flat rate. Meanwhile relegated Sheff United are charging £40 for Burnley and relegated Fulham are charging £40 for Newcastle. I imagine if our games had been against those sides they wouldn’t have gone as high as they have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were playing Palace or someone like that it would be a lot cheaper. I don't swingeing price increases this year after all this. The local economy in Birmingham is in not great shape. I expect a modest increase, followed by another hike in 2022/23. They don't want to choke off the demand just yet. Off topic but 2021-22 could well be the only 'normal' season in about 4 as 2022 will have a pause due to the Qatar World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Yes in the future I can see the plum seats in the DE and middle trinity being rather expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I certainly wouldn't have gone if I'd known how much it was before a mate bought it! Maybe it is the standard price for a Cat A game, I'm season ticket so used to paying about £26 per game, regardless who it's against. No idea why it costs more to see us get diicked by better teams, I'd rather watch us play someone and have more chance of winning. It's not a standard game either though. Usually games where there's not a packed villa park will be priced accordingly. Don't mind spending £15 on a cup ticket even though it'll be a crap atmosphere with 20k there. Obviously I'm out of the loop and a minority here, but to me £50 to watch a game of football is extortionate. no idea how much people spend bringing their family to a so-called 'cat a' game. Must be twice the price of a day out at Alton Towers, and I know which one would be more fun. Edited May 18, 2021 by blunther 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nath182 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 FYI, just had an email from Villa, they've done a re-ballot so if you weren't successful before, check your emails again as you may have got lucky. We've decided not to go now as made other plans and also bought tickets for the youth cup game on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Which stands are in use for this, all of Holte and lower trinity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Just bought myself a ticket as I won in the second ballot, not the greatest selection of seats but just happy to be there. Going on my own which will be strange. Does anyone know if any car parks are opening? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted May 20, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2021 I haven't seen this one, but I've filled in a Villa one and they're really straight forward. It won't take more than a couple of minutes to fill in and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
