Away Ticketing situation

My kid is 9 but has only recently been interested in football so got him a ST with me last season. He was hooked and wanted to go away with me too (he went to about 7). Should he miss out on going to Villa because you want to take your kids and they have had a ST longer? (PS - hes been to West Ham, Accrington & Fulham this season too)

They may well drop the "away game" number attended, but I imagine because of the geographical position of Villa there will be an early take up.

I can't "hang on" until the last few days as I have a weekend to plan and as a lot of people will know when you have kids your weekends get "full" well in advance.

It is not right they should miss out (the kids are the future of the club after all)

fed up of people like you moaning!

it IS fair, thats the whole point of it! the club want to reward fans who have been to away games previously with first choice this season, knowing that the likes of you who want and pick and choose what away matches you attend are taking tickets away from the people who show up week in week out.

So they put a cap on it based on the away loyalty shown in the previous season, meaning that you (or me btw, as i only went to 3 away games last season) cant get tickets away from the regulars that go the majority of the time.

Now there are individual exceptions, exiles for example, and i know before you say it that a lot of people cant afford to go to as many games as others, im in the same boat myself. But if you wanted to take the kids to an away game why not Hull? i was there and we could have done with the extra support, a fair trek but a good day out!

Basically its just tough and you cant do anything about it, take away your selfish me, me, me blinkers and see that the club are actually rewarding the fans who travel up and down the country

But they are not having missed only 1 match this season and purchased train tickets to travel to Norwich I cant have a ticket because the majority went to the fecking travel clubs. and I was outside the ticket office at 9 am on Wednesday.
Justice my ass

Well. Now thats a completely different argument

Well now my grandsons only 6 years old ..he went to places like huddersfield , middlesboro, barnsley, sheffield , watford and others last season ...hes done west ham hull and fulham is doing chelsea , norwich, villa .and many more ....age is no exscuse ..hes been season ticket holder since he was 3years old ...in the ninnian stand £229 it costs me for him ..not free in familly stand (this season £49i know) does he deserve to allow the travel club he goes with to get his ticket for him just like I do aswell....not sure why you think those that travell to most away games are not also long standing season ticket holders ...this canot be said in the reverse ...ie long standing season ticket holders are not necasarily big away goers ...I can only speak for the bus I travel on (carlos coaches ) but it is full of the same people in the same seats for the away games which carl books our tickets on our behalf ...nothing sinister going on there .....to finish age is no reason not to take youngsters to the un fashionable away games ..and the club is doing the right thing in using passed history to allocate away tickets
