That’s as specific as I could make it I’ve got a membership for my oldest and have found seats easy to get in family section and then I move mine. It’s ironic the last 2 games we’ve sat in the same two seats and there’s 2 blokes next to us that chat shit all game. Bad language throughout. I assume they season ticket holders as heard them talking about the differently type of fans that sit around them each game. My daughter has said please can we not sit near them again.

I never sit in the family area with my 11 year old. Middle and lower Trinity is prob his preferred at the Holte end of the ground. Upper Trinity is good as long as not too far back. Somehow we managed to get C3 for Sheffield, can't normally get anywhere near there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Burnley it was nearly sold out so had to get P7 and pay adult price for my daughter as she really wanted to go. If she happy both these games won’t bother with family stand again.

Nowt wrong with being polite when asking.. Being a mascot is a draw isn't it, and then you pay about £4-500 for the privilege if successful. That's season ticket money, well used to be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's the same everywhere I think. I don't understand how grown men can behave like that whilst in the specifically designated family area, but it is what it is. My best mate has a season ticket at Cov (I know I know) and goes with his family. His daughter loves going despite not liking football, he gives her a bag of sweets when they go. She says she likes going because of "sweeties and swears!" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I signed my son up for a membership when he was born but I've no idea how I did it what his login was or how to get it back. I don't think I could do it under my account. So yes it was **** painful that's all I remember. I'd like to get him on the list but don't have another 3 hours to spare.

MapleVilla Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Just wondering, do season ticket holders get to buy whatever seats are free before the general sale is open? Or are there only certain areas that are available? I'm looking to get Wolves tickets but I'm coming from Canada. Potentially have a friend's partner who is a season ticket holder, that I may ask to grab me a pair. It's been so long since I've been to Villa Park and last time was a pre season friendly against Fiorentina! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickets will go on sale to members first and then a few days later for STH to buy extras. Looking at the dates they gave out at the beginning of the season, the tickets should be available for members on 4th March and for STHs on 11th March. What I will say is that I would guess that this is a fixture that may sell out to members and might not get to STH extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go on the app you will see there is a QR code for your season ticket or you can add it to your phone wallet. Don’t need the physical card anymore. Im surprised there has been no communication around this though. A friend told me. Is this old news and Im just finding out now ?

If I'm honest, I don't know - I think there's been talk about it this season and I have a dim memory that it might have been something that was launched for one of the cup games. I like the card, it's simple and works for me, but I know there are people who would much rather have everything on their phone - I like that there are options, I hope that all of those options remain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not quote me on this, but I think it was only for the Chelsea game in the cup rather than have paper tickets. Might be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackbauer24 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I was sent an email about uploading my season ticket to my wallet a few weeks ago or so... But I haven't done so. Once or twice a year I can't make a game so lend my ticket to a friend or family member without faff of following club rules. When we inevitably do go fully digital, those days will be gone I assume.
