Season Tickets 2019/20

[Des Little]

Let’s face it, all the tat that came with STs in the past was straight in the bin anyway.

[Dogtanian]

So am on the look out for
1) cost of upgrading my Dad’s 65+ ST to adult if he’s not up to making any games
2) any restriction as to how often it’s allowed
3) re-sale process

Will message @AVFCsupport on twitter and share any updates, but curious if anybody had any news, FAQs haven’t been updated but that’s not necessarily indicative it seems...

When I have asked about upgrading an under-18 to an adult, they told me it's just the cost difference between the two categories.

yep they told me that too

i think you have to ring in though or visit the ticket office you cant do it on-line
think they send the upgrades out as an e ticket

if you already have a season ticket, are you meant to receive anything at all, albeit a letter or email, because I haven't received anything since the confirmation email when I renewed.

I'm assuming that it's just the original confirmation email

Will you get a text message or email to confirm your ST is reactivated for this season?

[Dogtanian]

Most years they have replaced my season card even though there hasn't really been a need to.

On the few occasions they haven't, they have still sent me the pack without a new card and just said in the letter to use my existing card.

[Arsey]

Am I being too cynical if I was to say that you'll get back 1/19 of your season ticket but the tickets will then be sold at matchday prices?

That sounds fair enough to me, to be honest.

Any other way and you're making a profit on it.

you can now request Villa your sell season ticket seats for the Bournemouth via logging into your account on website. It’s a bit of a faff as i had to do it separately for all the kids ones too.

You get 80% back of 1/19th of the cost of the season ticket, if i read it correctly.

Bloody annoying season starts so early

Have you received anything like this, this year?

[Dogtanian]

Nah, not had anything yet unless Postie brings it this afternoon.

80%?!  That makes Viagogo seem like value for money.

On a £500 season ticket that's over a fiver you get charged for the club selling your ticket!  I get that the difference here is that the club are buying your ticket with no guarantee of being able to sell it on whereas with Viagogo they took zero risk over the resale but a 20% charge still seems pretty steep.

[Dogtanian]

The 80% probably looks at the likelihood of being able to re-sell all of the unwanted seats, as well as possibility that the person buying it may not be in the same category of purchaser.  So for instance, mine in K4 is £33 for Everton, but if someone buys it for their kid then that's only £10 Villa are going to get for it, yet they'd be paying me about £25 back.

Now that's the extreme, but it has to be taken into account how often that can happen.

[GordonCowansisthegreatest]

Put it on here for 1/19th of ST price. I don't think you'd have much trouble selling it.

[dalians umbrella]

how do they pay you? Is it real money to your bank account or is it loaded onto your season ticket to buy pies with.

i phoned this morning to get confirmation that my season ticket had uploaded to my card as I had received nothing since renewing in February. The guy said that people keeping the same seat i don't get any further communication and referred me to  the confirmatory email issued at the time, which I did keep. He was a cheery chap and ended the phone call with a nice 'Up the Villa!'
