Match Ticket Prices

From Pravda:

Quote

Villa have announced match ticket prices for the coming Barclays Premier League campaign - showing conclusively that purchasing a season card is the best means of watching the mighty claret and blue.

Match ticket prices are once again among the cheapest in the top-flight but, nevertheless, savings of up to £229 [adults], £267 [under-16s] and £240 [over-65s] can be made in selected areas of the ground by getting hold of a season card rather than buying individual match tickets throughout the term.

And, as if that wasn't enough, a family ticket can save you a mammoth £830.

Match ticket prices are very competitive for anyone who only gets to see Villa from time to time but if following Martin O'Neill's men is a full-time hobby then a season card really is the most sensible option.

And if you do purchase a season card for the coming campaign, it will entitle you to buy additional seats for our opening top-flight clash with West Ham.

Seems very complicated./..esp that bit where in the one grid there is an extra orange category compared to the ST grid where that category doesnt exist ?

Love the opening line. Basically, buy a season ticket or pay through the nose you mugs.

Are we really sure sales are going that well?

I ask as they are still laying it on really, really thick.

That's exactly what I thought.

Not very subtle.

My thoughts exactly.

Not necessarily a good idea to release that grid.  I had absolutely no idea it was £45 to sit where we do.  Thought it was either £35 or £38.  Scary.

They are. I haven't renewed and i've had a few letters from the the club in the last month (and a phone call) trying to tempt me back.

An entertaining team at home will bring the fans back in more than anything else-some of these prices in the current climate are simply unnacceptable considering the poor level of football played at villa park last year.

Too expensive but that's football all over.  I'll go to as many games as the important things in my life allow, knowing that I'll be unlikely to get much change from £100 when I take my dad to watch a game.

It does read like a smack in the chops to non-season ticket holders but then given that football is all about chasing the money rather than the prize, I'm not surprised.

Totally agree.

I didn't go to one PL match at VP last season because (being a student) £38 seemed like a lot. Now, I may be working full time now (with enough money) but I am damn well not paying £43 every time I want to watch the Villa.

Unless O'Neill pulls his finger out a lot of others will be feeling the same, especially when we only managed 8 wins (8 draws and 3 losses) at home last season ... the only other team to do that in the top 10 was Blues!

It looks like I'm gonna be paying for North Stand tickets from now on.

Ding Ding !  Wrong answer !!

The Season ticket money is about 8 million quid barely enough to cover 2 or 3 players wages for the year.

No my friend, its to discourage the 'WRONG' kind of supporter.

The 'Right' kind is the one that brings his kids or mates and spends loads on food, drink and the club shop, educated, employed and less likely to shout abuse, stand up or moan about over zealous stewarding.

Its goodbye to the burberry cap brigade and hello to the gas guzzler brigade.

Yes, course it is. That's why young adult tickets in the Holte range from £18.

Didn't happen under Big Ron or Brian Little. Identufying the untouched potential around the ground and getting them involved will help fill up the ground as we haven't been able to do it for a while. Then if the team get a sustained period of success the rest will follow.
