Managed to get tickets for this. Thanks to the cup scheme. Anybody know where I can find out about coaches. Trains are 40 quid a pop so looks like driving is the best option so far.
I've got a return train ticket for me and the boy for less than a tenner! Depends where you live I suppose but London Midland are doing a 20% discount offer online.

I should have added - that's a train from mid cheshire area that goes via Crewe.

Because they've given us all the ticket the FA require them to give us. They've moved us to the end behind the goal, so have no reason to give us any more. Of course they could have sold a lot more tickets by giving us extra, but they wouldn't want 9,000 blues there would they ?I'm led to believe that Villa are not selling the 3000 or so tickets in the usual away section to their own fans so why are these not available to City fans?.

Clubs need to think more about the availability of tickets to away fans in the home areas. Do the club give away more tickets to away fans in games like this, or do they have a smaller area where both fans can mix like they have at Fulham? There is going to be a fair few away fans in home areas tonight and Saturday, because away fans want to be at these games. It ensures seats are not empty if the interest if higher than normal from away fans...

I would have thought in this day and age of money obsession they would have cashed in. I wonder if City did ask for more or not?.
Hi all, Aston Villa fan here in peace.
I don't think our ticket office want to give any additional tickets to City above the 6000, as it would start to get close to there being more City fans than Villa at the game! We haven't sold many at all so far, despite it only being £15-20 for adults. The back few rows of the Holte are closed off, the Trinity Upper is closed, and the usual away end (Doug Ellis Upper and Lower) is also closed. Looking at a crowd of 25k max, disappointing for a Saturday afternoon 3pm.

Exactly why there should be a mixed area at football grounds. In this instance it would mean that if the interest is there, away fans don't miss out on what should be a decent game.Hi all, Aston Villa fan here in peace.

Certainly is mate, always liked aways at villa park and was hoping for a cracking atmosphere. Why the poor sales? Do you reckon its your form over the whole season, because usually thats forgotten about for a cup tie?
