There isnt much in the papers today about possible transfers to or from Villa Park so i thought i would take this oppurtunity to have a little moan about the poor handling of Cup Final tickets.
I found out yesterday that all staff at Villa Park will be going to Wembley for free. They will all recieve one ticket each, with a option to buy at least 1 more. This will be one more than the ‘real’ ‘loyal’ supporters are aloud as each fan is only aloud 1 ticket each.
That isnt the worst part though, then i later found out that there are plenty of Birmingham City fans who work behind the kiosks at Villa Park who will also be going to Wembley and sitting in the Villa end. And guess who they will be supporting? Well come on, it wont be the boys in Claret & Blue now will it?
I feel this is a absolute disgrace that the loyal supporter who has to graft all week round to be able to afford there weekend trips to follow our beloved club then have this sort of thing thrown in there face. We might aswell all give up our day jobs and go and work down the Villa for a minimum wage. At least this way we get payed to watch the Villa every week and we are guarenteed a free cup final ticket when we get there.
I don’t know whos idea this was, but they didnt think it through really. I could understand if they give staff who have worked at Villa Park for numerous years some loyalty bonus, and gave them free tickets of some sort. But in order to get a ticket you only have to of worked 14 of the 17 games Villa have played at home this season, and then your going to Wembley.
So all those fans who couldnt afford season tickets at the start of the season, and have only been to as many games as your wages allow you. When your standing in the que, waiting for the remaining Cup Final tickets that have just gone on sale – and then you get to the front only to find out they are all sold. Just remember – its ok because theres a bluenose most likely sitting in your seat at Wembley!
We dont usually inform you of ticket news but with this being the Carling Cup Final i thought it was only right that i do so. Avfc.co.uk released the details this afternoon as i said they would this morning.
All Villa supporters will be located in the ‘West Stand‘ of Wembley Stadium.
Tickets will be available to buy for season ticket holders only at first at the ticket office, online or by the telephone. Ticket prices range from £38 – £80 depending on where you want to sit and will be sold on a first come basis.
