Villa away

Did we sell out for the original fixture or are there likely to be tickets available?

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Sat Apr 30, 2022 8:48 pm

I'm not sure if they've even gone on sale yet, nothing on the site saying sold out or still available so I assume they haven't gone on sale yet?

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Sat Apr 30, 2022 8:52 pm

Go on sale on the 4th of May I'm led to believe

And that will be any unsold from the original game plus returns.

I expect demand for this will be through the roof now, certainly after Saturday and there being real life in this team. 100% this will sell out, hoping we take the max available. Make that noise like we did on Saturday and anything can happen. UTC.

I have kept mine warm.

We won't have a choice to take any more than we did for the original game, as Villa will have already sold 'away' seats in the top tier.

Gutted. Great trip there last time for the 2-2.

There will be some tickets available, either from our unsold allocation for the postponed game or returns from people who can't make it this time.

Has there been any official word when these will be on sale yet?

I notice the entire top tier of the away section was empty for their game against Norwich at the weekend

Unofficially I've heard tomorrow but nothing official from the Club. Wonder if they'll use the points system or just go on General Sale?

Leisure · Post by **Leisure** » Tue May 03, 2022 12:01 pm

Just had a quick look at the Villa ticket site and they don't appear to have sold any in the top tier above the lower away section. Maybe it's their policy to leave it empty if the away club doesn't take the top tier allocation?

mybloodisclaret · Post by **mybloodisclaret** » Tue May 03, 2022 12:05 pm

Be great if we could have it and fill it.

BradTee93 · Post by **BradTee93** » Tue May 03, 2022 12:34 pm

I emailed the ticket office this morning and they said they’re expecting them to go on sale towards the end of the week.

Not so sure Villa will have much need for extras in the away allocation. Nothing at stake for them. We are not a big draw. Better chance of us selling them, this time.

bumba · Post by **bumba** » Wed May 04, 2022 8:03 am

I'd take a guess at just a few hundred going on sale this afternoon

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Wed May 04, 2022 11:07 am

Tickets on sale at 2pm

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Wed May 04, 2022 11:14 am

Yes on club website now. 6000 points at starting point. 'Limited availability'.

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Wed May 04, 2022 11:32 am

Shame we couldn't have the upper tier as well.

Zlatan · Post by **Zlatan** » Wed May 04, 2022 11:39 am

I dont suppose anyone can advise on parking for Villa Park (I tried to find the usual useful info thread, but cant find it). Thinking about getting a ticket for it now, as its only an hour away for me

We parked at Star City last time, but it is a bit of a walk but next to the motorway so quick to head home.

Might be closer/easier places with it being a midweek game

Last time we went we parked for free at a big retail park, think it was called star city. Only downside it's a bit of a trek to the ground.

Yes we parked at Star City as well on advice from a Villa supporter. Ideal if you give yourself plenty of time and well populated by fellow Clarets.

Thanks all

OntheFence · Post by **OntheFence** » Wed May 04, 2022 2:00 pm

Sold out. Come on Burnley, get the rest of the tickets.

JakePerry1882 · Post by **JakePerry1882** » Wed May 04, 2022 2:01 pm

It's 1 min past but sold out?

Oo_George · Post by **Oo_George** » Wed May 04, 2022 2:02 pm

It sold out instantly. Popped up at 2pm then Sold out. I was right there on the button. No chance.

JR1882 · Post by **JR1882** » Wed May 04, 2022 2:04 pm

Same, was on at 2pm and was sold out immediately.

cav · Post by **cav** » Wed May 04, 2022 2:05 pm

Done same to me as well!

How limited were the number of tickets left available?

Surely can’t be right.

BradTee93 · Post by **BradTee93** » Wed May 04, 2022 2:06 pm

Tickets still available in the home end

Burnley1989 · Post by **Burnley1989** » Wed May 04, 2022 2:10 pm

I’d heard a few hundred but I’d have thought more, I’d keep my eye on more being ‘found’ and put in sale.

My mates managed to get 3 but we wanted 8, looks like I’ll be driving instead of taking a mini bus

JakePerry1882 · Post by **JakePerry1882** » Wed May 04, 2022 2:17 pm

Be good if they listed them at the time advertised! Sat in work on limited time, set an alarm for 2pm to get an additional one. Can't sit online all day when Im suppose to be working. Delayed dinner for f all. Can they not request the upper stand too?

JR1882 · Post by **JR1882** » Wed May 04, 2022 2:30 pm

Mental not taking the top tier, it’s a far different game to the original one, and even if we were down it’s our last away game in the prem and would still sell well.

Vanders1994 · Post by **Vanders1994** » Wed May 04, 2022 3:12 pm

Long shot I know but if anyone hears of 3x adult spares going please can someone let me know

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Wed May 04, 2022 3:34 pm

We were ready at 2 pm, loads of points, and they sold out straight away

Oh well

Villa had probably already sold tickets in the upper tier for the original game though.

Same situation here.

Did anybody manage to get a ticket?

unfortunately not. On the plus side I no longer have the worry about finding somewhere to park for the game...

Sharbtastic · Post by **Sharbtastic** » Wed May 04, 2022 3:56 pm

I managed to get one but wanted two, suppose I shouldn't complain.

JakePerry1882 · Post by **JakePerry1882** » Wed May 04, 2022 4:06 pm

Did you get via the site or phone/ticket office?

Rowls · Post by **Rowls** » Wed May 04, 2022 4:09 pm

Can understand club not wanting to lose out on unsold tickets but it's looking like a blunder not to have taken a much larger allocation.

Sharbtastic · Post by **Sharbtastic** » Wed May 04, 2022 4:16 pm

They've made a complete mess of it, tickets can still be returned now so I imagine any that are will be put on the site so you just have to keep checking I suppose.

Got mine online.
