Title: GA+
Post by: Martyn Smith on September 16, 2024, 02:16:58 PM
Afternoon all,

I was going to skip the Wolves game but, you know, really want to be there now.

They are only selling hospitality and something called GA+. I am tempted to fork out but would like to know what I'll be getting for my £72. Can't see any explanation on the site and the ticket office aren't answering the phone... thx

There are loads of seats in the Upper Trinity still for sale, as well as the GA+ ones.

All the GA+ options are here:

If it's the Lower Grounds - free beer and food (both appalling) in the Lower Grounds beneath the Holte End steps. But only before the match, and after. At half time it's the same shit concourses as everybody else. If it's the Terrace View, much the same as the LG, although I think you can use it at half time as well. So if you can manage about eight pints and two rubbery cheeseburgers, it's just about worth the extra.

I was misunderstanding...I found ordinary tickets in Pricing Zone 4 for...£54...that is the cheapest standard match day price now? For *Wolves*? Jesus on a boat that's *another* £10 rise isn't it? Bloody fleecing...

...going to have to ask La Bluenose if I can justify spending that much on one match ticket...

She'll build you a 100,000 megadome instead. Just need to wait a few decades.

Terrace View is just 2 drinks and a nicer concourse.  No food etc.  You do get to sit in the Upper Holte, but unfortunately, most the seats with it are towards the back in the safe standing area.

Ah so LG has free shit food and drink, but no half time access. TV on the other hand, has half time access but only two free drinks, and the ability to buy food in a slightly nicer area.

Chris Heck must be absolutely pissing himself.

The cheapest ordinary seat tickets left now are £67

I just hope they give the tribute some decent coverage on MOTD...

Yeah, the massive irony is if your Lower Grounds seat is in the DE stand (There's some in DE & some in Trinity) you'll never be able to get in for a piss after your pre-game 8 pints of swill.

Absolutely this. I just hoped every living Villa Fan had the same attitude. I have a season ticket for now but am fully aware that Heck and co don't give a flying fuck about our loyalty.

Really sad that people like Martyn want to go on Saturday now to remember Gary, but instead there will be empty seats thanks to GA+ prices
