Except us, where the drop off was purely a protest about Ashley. Edited August 2, 2023 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ones with loads of loyalty points, season tickets and have blood more black & white than other pure scum. Maybees a balcony type area ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Bar 1892? You only pick those when there's nowhere else to pick most of the time. I reckon most people will choose Sections 1+2 and a load will miss out. Then we'll be left with a load unsold in other areas because you can only pick one section. Shouldnt be this hard to sell tickets to willing buyers like It’s a really good point this, they’ll end up having to reopen the ballot for cat 3 seats I’m sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would a 7 year old today start accumulating them? You’ve conveniently ignored the other points too, such as people accumulating points by getting the ticket and selling it on, just like those outraged on Twitter are doing. edited to add; I’m not trying to be an arse here, but you’re complaining about your specific circumstance and a potential disadvantage, while not considering all of the issues involved. The club need to do this. Edited August 2, 2023 by JJ7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess the demand was a lot less at peak Ashley. Most away games went to 0 points bar the derby and the European aways. Odd one didn't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many packed in for the same reason they pack in at other clubs but its a convenient excuse. Don't misunderstand me, a good few did and never went back but plenty went back as soon as we started winning and looked like going up. First time round that is, second time round the prices were great and many kept going because of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 They've taken a mile and given back an inch. Our owners, man. System is still shite, bare minimum it should've been when it came out.

Wandy Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I can't believe people will continue to tolerate being thrown into one big category and then allow the club to decide where you sit within it. What an absolutely shite system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this bit encouraging, maybe they just haven't got a system in place just yet to role it out for Villa? This functionality will be operational when ballot registration opens from 10am. Please note that supporters are unable to select multiple price categories at this time. Hopefully that reads as "you can't do it yet but we hope to have it available soon".

If the Trust etc now keep schtum and those in charge think we're satisfied with the little bit of movement we got today, then it's a sorry state of affairs.

At least on those seating plans from previous pages, it’s separate from any other category. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
