No clue. As long as I get to VP I’ll be happy. If I can’t get to Selhurst it isn’t the end of the world for us, we’ll find a pub to drink and watch the match with Villa fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PussEKatt Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 When I went to VP,I went to Thomas Cooke in London to book my ticket and they dont do it for Villa ( they book for heaps of other teams though ) so we went to VP when Villa were playing away and had a tour of VP and then bought our ticket there.Thats how I got our name printed on our VP tickets ( see earlier post ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put in my request about a month ago Edit: and I’d also like to say Darren is awesome. Not sure if he’s on here or not, but he’s been a fantastic help and does a great job of promoting Villa in Minnesota Edited August 20, 2021 by MNVillan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Didn't realise you had a claret membership. You're pretty much guaranteed home tickets then as long as you log on when they go on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help appreciated I think there’s a VT member whose brother recently moved to Manchester, he should be able to get you sorted with tickets... his name is Kevan.
