Still 1,253 lower tier tickets available for Villa, got to be a decent chance of selling those and getting the upper open again Q the announcement of 20,134 then!

And we haven't played 1982 European Cup winners Villa since '82, whereas Newcastle yaaaaaaawwwn we have played many times since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Sport is not helping the Club to do this and it needs to be sorted out by the commercial team ASAP. There are still SAG restrictions on the numbers that can be sold.

North London Red Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Just went online to buy three tickets for my brother, niece and nephew. The website kept giving an error message when I tried to proceed to the payment page (it said 'payment not completed' despite not even giving me the chance to pay on the merchant acquirer's payment page). Eventually my 20 minutes expired despite around 10 attempts to proceed with the transaction. Have just re-tried using Google Chrome instead of internet explorer, with three different seats - and thankfully it worked this time - but did anyone else get a problem on the payment page? Why is nothing ever straightforward when it comes to ticketing for a high profile match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Could people still buy tickets for less than that today? Yes. Is that price stopping people buying..? I guess we will find out over the next couple of days. If all available tickets sell out, is it overpriced? Probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Grim Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 If it sells out is it overpriced? Well yes it still is, but people are willing to pay it. It's a ridiculous price for Championship football. If any other club were changing fans that, everyone on here would be saying the same thing.

Football has lost touch with reality It's not "fact" though, is it? It's opinion. If they sell out then it's not TOO much. Cheaper tickets WERE available. It was your choice not to buy one before. I bought my mum tickets to go and see Billy Elliott at the Hippodrome and they were £50 each. For me, £38 (or less) to watch one of our biggest games of the season is not TOO much. If people think it is, then they won't go. If the prices stop people going then the club will have to look at them, or people will have to buy the cheaper tickets which were available all of last week. I don't think people can blame the club for them not being STH/members or not buying cheaper tickets when they were available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
