Pravda: Season ticket holder news release

[Legion]

Special events organised to thank season ticket holders for loyal support

Villa are giving some lucky season ticket holders the chance to participate in four special events as a thank you for their loyal support.

As a show of appreciation for their dedication to the club, 100 season ticket holders will be invited to Villa's Bodymoor Heath training ground, where they will be given a guided tour before watching the players train and eating at the restaurant.

There will also be an opportunity to meet the players.

The club will also be inviting 20 season ticket holders to go pitchside before all of the remaining home games this season, beginning with next Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash with Blackburn Rovers.

If you're lucky enough to be selected you will stand near the tunnel as the players run out for their pre-match warm-up and then watch the warm-up from in front of the dugout.

All season ticket holders will be automatically entered into a prize draw to win and winners will be alerted by telephone.

The first of the training ground events will take place during February half-term.

The winners of the training ground and pitchside visits will also receive a goodie bag.

We would like to thank all season ticket holders for their dedication and support.

There is also an extra incentive for season ticket holders to bring supporters to games as part of our Recruit a Villan scheme.

For each supporter you bring to the Blackburn game on Saturday February 26, you will receive double tokens for your logbook.

So if you're yet to put a token into your logbook, booking a Blackburn ticket anywhere in the stadium for five friends will bag you a £10 voucher, meaning you will be well on the way towards a tour, hospitality and a framed, signed shirt.

A proper, and sensible, piece of marketing for a change. Congrats to all involved.

[CJ]

Yeah nice to get that.  Mind you, I'm still waiting for my invite to the Holte pub

[The Left Side]

Well done Villa!

[The Moose]

So 200 out of more than 20,000 get thanked?

[villa1]

Better than 0 out of 20,000.

This standing around by the tunnel and then watching them warm up from by the dugout doesn't particularly appeal to me. It sounds cold.

[Lizz]

Agreed.

Better not invite my Aunty Mary - she'll want to rub the players legs to warm them up.   She still misses seeing Ginola in his shorts.

Sounds like the crap sort of prize I'll go and win. Last time I won anything it was six months supply of nappies - when my youngest was about 15.
I'll try not to sound too underwhelmed when Randy phones with the good news.

ooh the excitement, to best honest its a free piece of marketing shite.

How about stop reducing the prices of every game with bundle offers etc and ensure the season ticket price is competitive.

I know next season I am not renewing, rather stick the money in the bank and then take chance of villa continuing to bundle deals for every game because lets face it they done every game this season .

I think we have the ultimate 'damned if they do' here. And to be honest, of all the things other teams supporters would reckon we have to complain about, ticket prices are low on even that short list.

I shall renew my season ticket if the cost does not increase - simples

26,000 odd isn't it?

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Excellent idea.

Hope somebody from this site get's selected.
