Pretty sure it didn't. We only decided to go on the night and I certainly don't recall getting a ticket on the night being an issue.
Do remember there being so hoohar about the TV cameras though.
Not a clue, I've tried to avoid most threads about Villa.
Not really sure how anyone can moan about it though it's been in place for a couple of seasons now. Plus there are always spares floating about (we had 2 for Spurs and 1 for WHU).
