Got mine earlier. Lower tier behind the goal by the look of it. I think that was historically where they put away fans at Villa Park.

Still loads left by the looks of it.

Only blocks sold out are a couple in the upper tier behind the goal and a few on the side of the pitch.

I decided to go in the bit on the side of the pitch. Much closer to the pitch obviously and a better atmosphere in that part.

The bit behind the goal is in the upper tier, you'll see there's a gap on the stadium plan between that stand and the pitch because Villa fans are in the lower tier.

The only part of the lower tier we have is the bit at the side of the pitch near the corner flag - which is the standard away end there for league games now.

Just realised that. I went for the back of what I thought was the bottom tier. Now we're right up at the back of the top. Should of looked at it a bit more closely.

As of 10pm our ticketing website has a total of 1231 tickets available across all away sections. Have we already sold over 5000?! :bluebird: :bluebird:

A significant percentage is held off for Cardiff City Supporters Club bookings.

I won’t be able to be there due to work.

But that’s life and I’m sure we will still take a high amount.

Got mine yesterday too, easy to do and loads of tickets left in the two different away ends.

Hopefully many are sold over the next couple of days :bluebird:

I agree Ned,

Yes fair play very simple, good prices.

Surely has to be easily a sell out.

Could not of asked for an easier journey for City Fans from, Cardiff, Newport, Cwmbran, Abergavenny etc etc etc

Although it's a massive cup game and should sell out instantly l don't believe it will unless we beat Plymouth and hull. Sadly if we don't people won't be arsed as we might be embarrassed as we were against leeds

Don't agree, those results won't impact on how many we take away in the cup.

We still took 1,000 to Stoke in the cup the week after we lost to Leeds.

This is a more glamorous cup tie so we should sell out, regardless of results before the game.

I'll be there regardless and i hope your right.

Re: " 6,500 Aston Villa tickets on sale from Tuesday "

Any idea how many are left?

Still plenty.

Lower tier nearly sold out now but both upper tiers have quite a lot left.

Would expect a big chunk to be sold tomorrow, that's when they go on sale to STs/members with no qualification.

Thanks, that's what I'm waiting for. Missed Villa away in Premier League seasons, and a chance to take my daughters to their first away game

Looks like quite a lot have been sold today.

Still some left in the upper tier but far less than yesterday.

Showing a very limited amount left now.

Re: Last few tickets " 6,500 Aston Villa tickets on sale "

Thu Feb 20, 2025 1:15 pm

Their are 350 Tickets left.

We never took the Full Allocation in the end , as Over 3,000 We have to pay for every ticket Unsold.

We could have had 6,500.

We decided to take 5,500.

As we've nearly sold the 5,500 it's disappointing they didn't take the extra 1,000 because seems like we would have sold them.

Someone at the club should be held to account for this decision. Clearly we would sell the full allocation

Got ours, in the corner, now gotta try and negotiate an early finish with work!

Re: Update: " 6,500 Aston Villa tickets on sale "

Thu Feb 20, 2025 2:47 pm

Got to hold my hands up and (gladly) say I underestimated the pull of this game and it seems we are pretty much sold out for the Villa trip! :clap:

Well done and good luck to all those travelling. You will be heard! :bluebird: :bluescarf: :ayatollah:

Re: Update: " 6,500 Aston Villa tickets on sale "

Probably not, if we didn't take them then they'll have started selling them to home fans I expect as it's only just over a week until the game.

Re: Sold Out: " 6,500 Aston Villa tickets "

Thu Feb 20, 2025 4:22 pm

Fair play, wasn't expecting us to sell anywhere near the allocation, massively proved wrong. :bluescarf:
