Admin phantom Posted December 5, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Heard the top tier was really cramped and had no bar facilities last year Like others it was a ground I wanted to tick off as only previously been there when England were playing around the country. Bottom tier wasn't much better very cramped area We can't really complain about the £30 when we are charging £32 for teams to come to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit if I hadn’t been I would be going, great crowd Xmas N/Y games. I might have a weak moment and go myself. Done a few away games this year and all been wins, anyone want to pay for my ticket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 1 hour ago, El Hombrecito said: Tickets for City’s New Year’s Day trip to Aston Villa will go on sale from tomorrow (Wednesday) to season card PLUS holders. Lee Johnson’s men visit Villa Park on the first day of 2018, with slightly later kick-off time of 5.30pm. The club has received a full allocation of 2,100 tickets for the Sky Bet Championship encounter, which will be placed on sale from 10am tomorrow. TICKET PRICING Adult - £30 Senior 65+/Full time student/Armed Forces - £20 Under-21 - £17 Under-16 - £10 Ambulant disabled and wheelchair using adults - £25 SALES PROCESS Season card PLUS holders (and half-season card holders) can purchase online from tomorrow (Wednesday) at 10am, with phone sales from Friday, December 8th. All season card holders can buy online from Monday, December 11th at 10am, with phone sales beginning two days later. Any remaining tickets will go on sale to Forever Bristol members online from Friday, December 15th, while general sale is pencilled in for Wednesday, December 20th – subject to availability. CATS COACHES Coaches will run to Villa Park, which departs from Ashton Gate at 1.45pm. Seats cost £22 for season card PLUS holders, £27 for all others. Supporters will be able to park at Ashton Gate. Did anyone who purchased a half season card automatically get plus status then? Just seems odd that they’re in with Season ticket plus and then normal ST holders are the next group back?

Pigeons in the roof area as well so had a few splatters on my coat when we left. I'd been in the home area about 20 years ago when I took my boy to watch Arsenal and that was fine, but the away section was not what I was expecting from a ground that used to host FA Cup Semi Finals.

Exactly. Cramped and the view was poor, very restricted looking along the touch line. Our own fans were idiots too and quite intimidating, ( no I wasn’t near the ‘lads’) that and QPR were my worse away days. That’s why I’m giving both a miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be brilliant if the QPR game at AG is a biggie for them, you need to seriously consider returning the favour only giving them 1,700, or 2,000, whichever is the minimum they legally have to have. Either way, they probably won't get near that number. Their away support is sh*te. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. I was in the top tier as well last season and the facilities were appalling - no beer and a tiny kiosk with huge queues for hot drinks. I was looking forward to visiting Villa Park and it was a big letdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
