Ticket Poll for Aston Villa

[Blue Neon]

I have seen those claims, but I don’t think there’s any hard evidence, rather than educated speculation, for the 20,000 chasing figure so that’s why I thought an unscientific poll on here might be useful.
Is it 20,000 for every game? Or just the season opener, or the rs, or for Burnley on a Wednesday evening rescheduled. They may have sold 20,000 Blue+ for £1.2m but that is just a rounding error in the overall revenue. It’s how many weeks of Grealish…

It's the pull of the new stadium also. Novelty and bad infrastructure will pull down the ballot entries after half dozen games. Night matches will be a nightmare getting home so ballot members should be able to get tickets more easily. The TWO of us decided just to keep the FB and then maybe think about an upgrade later. Also the best team home matches are after the Christmas period. We are both FB members 5yrs and maybe / should be on the next ST release after this years debacle.

You can still get tickets on the resale platform if you have the £35 membership but you can't get concessionary tickets they are all full price.
They advantage of the resale site is you can tickets where you want or at least you will be able to when the demand drops.

I’m happy to just pay full price and avoid the ballot at this point.

Managed to pick another up for Brighton on Sunday for the father-in-law.

Singles are popping up regularly.

The only time I saw multiple when was a whole row mysteriously came up for resale and I jumped on one each for me and my lad.

Are those that have got rejected applying for specific stands or just anywhere?
I think East stand could be the most expensive, are peeps avoiding this?
Strange so many getting rejected unless the request is for groups sat together?

Anywhere and just for one ticket. (Tried South Upper, North Upper and West Upper as preferences so far.)

Seems very strange indeed.
Me dad managed to get a couple in the East stand, admittedly expensive for an adult at £70 for a category B game

Couple of other variables: I'm a senior and, something that just occurred to me in the gym this morning, I'm overseas.

Similar... my dad is concession and he got an adult too. Plus we're southerners, don't think the algorithm takes the latter into account tbh

Im always a 2, so probably a stupid question: if you ask for say 4 together is it always going to be straight no, or would the system ever say no but here are 4 reasonably close in the same area?

Added complication with the ballot I guess, but a family group is extremely likely to always end up scrabbling around in general sale with little chance of 4 together being left. Hard to avoid once digital random selection becomes a thing, but seems……a shame.

Larger capacity. Harder to get tickets. Very Everton.

Strange isn't it? I remember when you walked through the turnstile, put your coins down, walked in and looked for a spec. First in, first served.

I'm not blaming Everton though, it's the technology.

Trying to be too good but no empathy in tech. Its all about your digital footprint.

Aargh. Had a seat in my basket and then it was gone...

Managed to snag two on re-sale. Not next to each other but row in front of the other in block 202.

The stress…
