Title: Who's renewing, relinquishing, reneging?
Post by: Lucky Eddie on June 02, 2015, 03:27:36 PM
We go again! [cringe]

Who's doing what next season then?

I'm in; but going to have to take up the spread payment option following the last two months unexpected outlay.

I've renewed. I'm since questioning my sanity as I'm confident it will be the usual annual relegation battle. Doesn't matter who the manager is if we don't spend a fair bit on improving the squad.

This season was the first one for over 20 years I didn't renew (yes fickle) I might renew next season but 4 years of going home after shit performances took its toll. Still not convinced about Timmy but better than the last two.

I was intending to renew on Sunday but then something happened on Saturday that disillusioned me somewhat (can't imagine what that was.) But, yeah, I will no doubt succumb in the next few days.

Didn't renew last season as a protest
When the performances improved I thought I would get another but the last few weeks I realised we are still in the same situation really with an untried but potentially more positive manager, a squad that still can't be trusted to perform and with an owner who wants to sell us.

Viagogo here we come baby!

I will be renewing for me and my son on the finance plan. Unfortunately we are losing the guy alongside us to a better deal for OAPs elsewhere in the ground. I actually bumped into him at Wembley. The odds on that happening must have been pretty high.

Post by: JJ-AV on June 03, 2015, 10:01:00 AM
Not got one. I didn't have one last season as I was out of the country from April-December and barely missed a game when I landed back.

Previously, I renewed without thought for 15 odd years, so this feels like the first decision. I think I'll leave it until August. I think at the minute it's more likely I'll get a half season ticket come December and pick games on Viagogo for the first-half of the season.
Title: Re: Who's renewing, relinquishing, reneging?
Post by: JJ-AV on June 03, 2015, 10:04:52 AM
Viagogo users - do you get a game added to your booking history?

And if you book in advance can you move your seat?

So for example, my mates sit in the lower Holte, my old seat is in the middle of them and it's free. There's quite often £10 tickets around there, could I buy that and then call up the Villa and have it moved to my old seat?

If so then that's more cost-effective than buying a season card.

That's a very good analogy.
I have signed up - and am now conflicted about whether to give backword or just grit my teeth in the face of another season of toil and strife.
It's difficult to get motivated since I travel 2 hours each way, usually on my own (my son plays and coaches and so cannot accompnay me any more). Hey-ho; I'll probably stick with it ...

Agreed Mister E- ( assume Churchillian mode of speech) never, in the history of Association Football, has so much been owed by so many to so few. We shall fight them in The Manor, we shall fight them in The Vine and we will never surrender. This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps,the end of the beginning.

I promise you that this will be a better season ( well, it couldn't get worse, could it?).

I shall be renewing mine and my lads next week.

Despite the shambles of the last few years I felt I ought to go.

Saw the offer in an email, "Season Tickets from £335" sounds ideal, work lots of weekends/evenings so can't get to many games.

After days of ringing and ages on hold they tell me the I can't have one at that price unless I already have one?

Will they be sold at that price if the current holders relinquish them?

No, management have decided not.   Must be expecting a stampede for tickets.

Think the moment has gone.

Haven't had a season ticket now since the 2010/11 season. The cost of travel and time isn't justified by the quality of football being played.

I will go to the odd game though. I suspect there are many thousands like me.
