However, that section holds around 2900 and I read on here that you've only got 2600. There could be another 300 made available if you sell the 2600. I'm not sure why you only got 2600 in the first place? I'm sure some teams get the whole 2900 in one go.

Wrong that we gave them 4500 out of a 33k stadium and we are only getting a max of 2600 in a 45k one. Should offer us at least 4K- maybe 5

Why?
You only offered us those tickets because you knew you wouldn't sell them yourselves. If we had you in the play offs, you wouldn't give us the same allocation would you?
If we can sell out with our own fans, why would we possibly want to turn some away just to accommodate away fans?

You average 31k in a 42k Stadium when have you sold out this season?

Villas capacity is 43000 ish and average gate 31000. They've had an average of 12000 spare seats all season which is not dissimilar to us.
They didn't even sell out in the local Derby v Wolves.
So, can't see why they can't give us more.
Or are they expecting to sell out for the first time for our visit ?

By that argument, it could also be said that I can't see why we should give you more? You haven't taken 2600 away all season and that figure is double your average away following.
It is a big game for both teams. Villa are just ensuring that our own fans won't be disappointed if it gets close to selling out - As every club would.
League rules state that we only have to give you 2000 tickets so you're getting more in any case.

You average 1300 away and we average 31000 at home (more like 33000 since Xmas).
You seem to think that your average will double but our average won't go up by 25%. You use Wolves as an example. Wolves are nothing to Villa and we do not class it as a derby. Just because they have become obsessed with us doesn't mean that we care any more or less about them. Everyone I know sees the game against yourselves as far bigger than the Wolves game was.
Looking online, Villa are selling tickets for all areas surrounding the away section so I can't see any more being made available other than what is in the away section.

At the end of the day, what we average is irrelevant.
We could sell more.
However if there's no room, then there's no room and I would fully understand the allocation not being larger.
However, given the red carpet we put out for you I would expect that if it was possible to increase the allocation we would be offered it.
That's what normally happens.
If it's not feasible then that's fair enough and I'd be full to expect you to turn home fans away to fit us in
