Announced at half time on Saturday as being on sale and now confirmed on the official site.
Early bird price freeze applies.
All I have to say is........fucking hell, and for fucks sake!!!!
-
Great times
-
Can't wait to renew!

I saw an advert, the tag line is '' Part of the park''.
Without wanting to be negative, who thought that one up? Part of the park?

We’ve lost our pride haven’t we?

Well the strap line was never going to be A picnic in the Park.
-
With the price freeze, I'd have gone for "Same Old Prices, Same Old Shit!"
-
Part of the park. The pond with shopping trolleys dumped in are part of the park. The bench with the alcoholics drinking dry cider are part of the park. The bushes with a used Johnny hanging from them are part of the park.
It's one of the most unfootball sounding tag lines I've heard.

Maybe it's a typo? 'Part of the pack'.
Pride of Lions... Pack of cards perhaps?

We're certainly collapsing like a house of cards.

We'll just have to deal with it.

It just doesn't suit us.

That's a full house then.

Surprised we haven't shuffled the pack! or put our Hearts into it ;)

Some of these puns are ace.

This club is a busted flush primarily because we can't field a player who can play in a diamond ....we thought Hourihan had spades of skills but his heart isn't in it

Crikey, have we been bought by Koreans?

Has that trumped the rest?

There is now options to subscribe to a cup home ticket guarantee scheme no cost and the New away scheme which thankfully had been modified to avoid regular fans not being able to obtain blues away tickets as the new scheme only allows you to miss 5 games -
-
Any idea how much more an Holte End season ticket is if you don’t take advantage of the early bird price ?
-
Early bird prices again? Fuck off. I am not renewing regardless. And for once I actually mean it.

What's the issue with discounting? The cheaper the better.

What fucks me off Ads is that they seem to want our cash earlier every season. So you might have a season ticket for 20 years but if you don't commit to next year early and cough up every time then the price rises. And what do you really get for it?
If we were on our knees financially I would happily pony up but the same every year?
For what it's worth, they could do a season ticket for me at fifty quid next year and I still wouldn't buy it. The old mind is made up. Villa are getting on my tits and so is everything a level above.
Charlie is on about trying to be the youngest person to whack all 92 grounds and that sounds a lot more fun to me.
-
You can't give up on the Villa, in't right.
-
I can. I have been doing it on a season long basis for 30 years. I don't enjoy it any more and they have had more than enough of my time and money since then.

I get this totally as I had a season ticket up to and including the 2014-15 season and now pick and choose the games I go to (about half). Saturday was a season ender I'm afraid but I'm sure I'll be back in August. Or September.

The early bird really is win, win.
If you buy within the early bird window, you are guaranteed your ticket at this seasons price. Nobody forces you to buy early and your seat is reserved for way past the end of the early bird window.
The club have even negotiated an interest free option which enables fans to pay the early bird price over something like 9 months which is more or less pay as you watch.
What could possibly be wrong with this offer?
I will be buying in the early bird window and I'm looking forward to next season already.

Only Chelts could manage a full on rant about the price and timing of something he doesn’t want anyway!
-
True! I am just massively pissed off with the early bird thing, still, when we were being hit up for cash without a clue what division we would be in.
-
Those who want to commit regardless of the division get the early bird price. Glory hunters have to pay more! ;)
It’s been 10 years of shite but one thing you can say is that the price of our season tickets have barely moved in that time.

Would you prefer them to be sold at the new (higher) prices with no discount? Or maybe not sold at all until the end of the season, again with no discount?
Those are the only 2 alternatives that I can think of.
-
Ffs, can't wait for this abysmal 2019/20 season to be over. 😡
Sorry, just practising.
-
I think the “early bird” is a good idea, it gives a discount of sorts, to regular season ticket holders, what’s wrong with that? I did it last year and I will do so for next season. If people don’t want to buy a ST, that’s fine, fair play. I want one and I’m happy that as I have had two STs for a good few years, I get a reduced price.

Neither has Jedinak .... ba-boom tish

I get this totally as I had a season ticket up to and including the 2014-15 season and now pick and choose the games I go to (about half). Saturday was a season ender I'm afraid but I'm sure I'll be back in August. Or September.
Same for me.
Ironically I rarely make Saturday games now but always at the midweek/week night games. Enjoyed the vast majority of them and they always seem to be more exciting games than the sterile Saturdays....just this season we've had 2-2 v Brentford which was just a very good football match, 3-3 v PNE and all the drama of cabbages, 5-5 v Forest which was just a totally bizarre game of football which will live long in my memory and the 3-3 v Sheffield and a great comeback out of nowhere.
Bit of a random idea but if a club did a mini season ticket of 10 midweek/Sunday home games at priced 150 quid I'd probably get one. Some seasons you might only get 5-6 at home so would probably include the Sunday games in it to get up to 10.

...or a mini season ticket for weekend games?
Although I am moving to Lancashire shortly, I did intend to keep my season ticket, but I don’t have the kind of job where I can knock off early to travel to night games on a regular basis.
Even living in Birmingham I sometimes miss them because I cannot guarantee to be away in time! (Although my hours are basically 9-5, I have to take a whole day annual leave to actually guarantee getting to a 7.45pm KO - once you are in, you are in for as long as you are needed!)
So now I’m now of the mind that keeping my season ticket is a long way from paying off. Between evening games, and games that get moved to Friday or Monday (& to some extent Sunday 4pm isn’t great) - it puts the price per match up by about £10, when the difference between my season ticket price (if I went to all the games) and a match ticket is only about £1.50. I’d be keeping it just for the pride of saying I am a season ticket holder, which does mean something to me, but probably not approaching £100!
I can just be a claret member to get first choice of home tickets when they go on sale, and that’ll also still keep me in the frame for a Wembley ticket if I need one in the future too. So sadly - the season ticket is going this year.
I need to be clear that it’s not cos we’re shite tho - it’s just the practicalities! I wonder how logistical practical a mini season ticket is? Maybe me & SHQ could share one?
-
Could be something for the club to look into while we continue to play in this league.
So far this season we've played Brentford, Rotherham, Preston, Bolton, SHA, Forest, QPR, Leeds and Sheffield United as non Saturday 3pm kick offs. Millwall on Easter Monday and Norwich on final day Sunday to come. Pretty much half our games.
Back to premier league and there's only 3-4 midweeks so not really an issue.
-
I've just renewed. Go Villa!
-
I've purchased my first season ticket since 2011/12. Can't wait.
-
Mad bastards!
See you there. 😁
-
I’ve renewed, for no better reason than if I don’t do it now, I’ll talk myself out of it by the summer, lose my seat and regret it come September
