There’s a few tickets left on sale on the official site in the Holte wings. K1 and L1.
Face value, none of those disgraceful prices on the ticket tout website of Seatwave.

Yeah, I ended up going for a pair of those with restricted view as I thought I’d rather only see some of the action but still experience the atmosphere than pay the stupid prices on Seatwave.

Villa need to take a  grip over Seatwave and at the very least not agree to any  extension of  contract and bring the resale business in house. 

Seeing prices  of over £100 on the site shows the club in a bad light.

It happens to other clubs all the time. We're not alone in this.

There was a ticket on there yesterday which cost over £170 with booking fees for a £30 face value ticket. That’s disgraceful. Shame on the club for entertaining anything like this, and the same to the so called fan who’s ripping off a fellow Villa supporter.

I agree Dave but the exposure over the past 2 weeks is sad to see, Villa fan ripping Villa fan off. 

The club still have to print off resale tickets off and effectively distribute them so  to set up a small team and a decent working  website would not be too troublesome. 

The ticket office judging by postings on the web  must be fed  up of Seatwave anyway.

The counter argument is the number of times that supporters get cheaper tickets for other games.

Seatwave have served me well in the past but £280 + £50 fees for 2 tickets in Doug Ellis(P5) shocking to be fair.

Club should step in and ban the sellers.

For me, if happy for tickets to be sold on there well under face value then you to have accept that occasionally they'll be over face value, however unpalatable it may be. In all the years of Viagogo and Seatwave this is the first time i've seen prices like this.

I don’t have a problem with genuine resellers, where for whatever reason they are unable to attend, recouping their costs and there being a higher admin fee to reflect the cost of checking, reallocating and printing the tickets, but there is no justification in one villa fan selling their ticket to another fan at these exorbitant costs.

The fact that the club are effectively endorsing this practice by promoting on the official ticket site shows the club in a poor light.

I wonder how many of these tickets are season ticket holders actively touting, and how many are just putting the seat out there to see how much they'd get for it or touts who've bought match tickets for re-sale (particularly as blocks such as K1 and P1 are usually deserted). Either way I would be amazed if tickets go for anything like the amounts currently being asked.
