Iam not surprised, good day out.

"with no additional seats being made available."

disappointing, I hope they haven't sold out before I can call

Myself and Souper Jim r going!

I think it's a disgrace they ain't making any extra seats available seeing as we are entitled to 6,500. Not everyone is a season ticket holder and will be a mad scramble before they all sell out at 9.05am. What a joke!

Me and my bro are Town fans and taking my dad who is a Villa fan. Going to have to sit in the home end as Im not keen on leaving him on his own, only £10 a ticket in the lower north stand which is next to the Ipswich, quick and easy to register with the official site and still plenty of tickets available.

surely they should ask for more we are entitled to 5900 tickets pretty sure we could sell most of them come on town do the right thing and ask for more...........

This is going to be my first away day out! Can't wait :-)

Wow

There'll be plenty available from Villa. Just be discrete.

Why can't we ask for more tickets? 2,900 is not enough for 3rd round FA Cup day, one of the best days in the football calendar. We are entitled to ask for more, and tickets arent even on general sale yet and we have almost sold out?!! Its a disgrace if we don't ask for more, no way to treat your fans who drive up and down the country every weekend

Good on yer TractorBoy enjoy your day. next season we will get promotion ,you mark my words.

Should be taking a leaf out of QPR's book and cancel the Christmas party we are very much still in the shti

one year i dont have a season ticket due to playing football on a saturday and im left not being able to get a ticket in the ipswich end. hold your head in shame ipswich town. guess its me sitting in the villa end singing my heart out and cheering when we bag a 90th minute winner.

Proves what a bloody joke this club is,could have even more supporters travel but ohhhhhhh no not I.T.F.C.....

Lossssssst for words joke!!!!

Thats right crossy. ITFC should issue free season tickets. Then everyone could have come with us.

Yet again, another huge cock up by Clegg. My beloved Town have become a complete joke under his stewardship. My son and I go to 8-10 away matches and 10-12 home matches every season, travelling from near Reading to do so - but it looks like we can't go to the Villa game because Clegg will not ask for any more tickets (an allocation of tickets we are entitled to!). Some of us will be at work at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning when the tickets go on general sale so not much chance of getting tickets for the Villa gane!!! I despair :-(

(We'll both be at the Bristol City and Charlton games!!)

do anyone know if you can book through villa, surely they could chuck a few tickets to you for the away end?

"with no additional seats being made available"

So Villa expect to sell circa 40,000 tickets to home fans?!!!

Perhaps Mr Clegg would like to explain why we appear to have accepted (apparently without protest or negotiation) such a small ticket allocation?

Ridiculous allocation, its unusual for fans of a Premier League side to fill up the stadium in the 3rd round of the FA Cup, unless its one of the big boys. Villa hold what about 40.000 and they'll probably get about 20,000 turn up, where as our fans will be looking to a good day out and will come in there numbers for a big tie, but get a limited allocation, surely its in Villa's best interest and the ties best interest to give us a bigger allocation.

This will just cause our fans who don't get tickets, to go in the Villa end. Massive cock up by Clegg, still a clown

Yes if they're all but sold out before they're even on general sale, I hope sanity will prevail and we'll take up the full allocation. There's a very strong chance we'll sell out 6000+ as it's straight up the A14 and M6, very easy journey. And as the tickets are discounted, the financial risk if we don't quite sell out isn't huge. With 6000 town fans, it'll be like a home game which makes a money-spinning home tie in the 4th round more likely. Clegg grow a brain and don't make me sit in the Villa end.

Why the fuss Villa will spank us looking at their Saturday form MM will be leaving the key guys out Jan is about building a permanent squad and points over the second half not progressing to round 4

I am not a Clegg fan, but just wait until these tickets are sold out and the club will ask for more. If the club had taken all the 6,500 tickets and 2000 were left unsold, Ipswich would have had to pay Villa for the unsold tickets.

Interesting point, all the fans who are after tickets.......do you attend home games ?

The same thing happened for the Chelsea FA Cup game in 2011. Town, due to 'financial reasons' did not take up the full 15% ticket allocation. It was massively oversubscribed. Two years later, and it's the same nonsense.
The difference this time will be that there WILL be spare seats in amongst the Villa seats unlike Stamford Bridge which was practically sold out. So there will be Town fans in with Villa fans.

ITFC seem to have a perverse enjoyment in watching fans scramble for tickets. They will trot out the same reasons they did two years ago - "we couldn't financially risk being stuck with unsold tickets" "it's the run up to Christmas" "the team isn't doing very well". They just don't get what it means to be a fan.

We have been poor for a decade and get a big game every 12-18 months. Of course everybody wants to go. London & Midlands game are always popular because we have large fan bases around the country.

No, all the se fans don't attend all the home games. No they don't attend all the away games. Complaining about plastic fans doesn't address the problem. The problem lies with ITFC/Ticket Office's inability or refusal to understand that fans demand for big games will always be greater than a full ticket allocation. Taking a partial allocation is just another embarrassing, but predictable outcome from a club increasingly divergent from its fans.

Not getting this....if you follow the blues so much and so closely why aren't you a member????.....members then got priority as well......worth it for exactly this reason......cornish contingent going if all is well COYB
