I'm bringing my Spanish housemate who came to see us play Notts County in the League and was desperate to go to Wembley before he goes home on the 30th. I promised him a ticket if we made it to the final so he's made up! To give you an outsider view on the support, I sent him the tweet about us selling 34,500 and got these replies:

"Oh god!! 35,000 fans?! It's awesome"
"You really have big fans"
Yeah but not quite as big as Villa Fans

We do indeed.

Only seats towards the back now available, Ticketmaster should really open another couple of blocks. Pay day tomorrow for most too which will get us close to a sell out.

Having had a quick look over a few hundred sold over night.

I do think a new block needs to be opened asap

Ordered 4 first thing Saturday. 1 in Block 122 and 3 in Block 124. Ordered them all at the same time.

My one for Block 122 came on Tuesday, but the others for 124 haven't come at all.

Just out of curiosity (and not wanting to cause unnecessary panic - mine aren't here either) what are the arrangements for 'haven't arrived in post' come match day? Anybody encountered this before, or heard what they do about it?

Lot of enquiries going on through Twitter by the looks, you’d have to question the process they are using, not too sure how tickets ordered a few days later can arrive first?

Tickets are usually sent out in order of blocks but not sure how that would work with a short amount of time.

Amazing effort to get 35k, but still hard for me to believe that even without any new blood, there are 8,000 people who experienced the Checkatrade last year who don't want the chance of experiencing that feeling again.

Just to worry you a bit more need to be here Saturday,

That music bash at the Memorial Park and being a Bank Holiday hasn’t helped, still think we’ll be close to 40000

I was one of the jollies at the Checkatrade last year and would love to join the party but I've got training at work that I can't get out of. Will be cheering on from afar, though. What a time to be a Sky Blue!

You have to remember the excellent offer for kids at the Checkatrade. Families could afford to all go together
There were huge numbers of kids
Playoffs are more expensive

How weird??

Same as last year. Somebody at work needed tickets a few days ago but didn't want to be upper tier. Just told them to wait. They started to doubt me, but as predicted all the reserved seats have become available.

Mine arrived this lunchtime, ordered when first on general sale. Its quite irritating that lower seats have now suddenly been released.

No need to panic to anyone who hasn't got a ticket yet. Even if they don't turn up in time the tickets can be issued at the ground on the day, they will just void the barcode of the ones sent in the post and replace it.

Good news.

Think I may have to do the same.

Lower tier will likely be the club hand backs.

Not sure why there is a whole block. But good tickets so get buying if you haven't all ready

That's fine as long as they do void the originals. I remember an England game once where we were issued duplicates because ours had gone missing in the post. Five minutes before kick off people who had our originals tried to turf us out of our own seats.
