Title: Season Tkt Refunds
Post by: PGW on May 27, 2020, 12:11:10 PM
I have just received an email from club ref refunds.


Essentially various options...cash refund, eTicket for the future or just donate to Villa Trust.
I assume i will receive another thats just specific to me.

It's not the Trust, it's the Villa Foundation.

Very true Dave..me being impulsive...refund for me to donate to my local grass roots club...Northfield Town...the FC not the association.

They can have my money if they want. I spend more money in the pub after the game than I do on a season ticket, so not going has saved me money.

I agree that's basically my sentiment...i won't get a great deal being O65 ST holder.....so however little someone else within football can have it.
Hopefully others may follow suit...either donating to foundation or grass roots.

I've disgustingly changed my mind seeing as the refund is more than I expected and, looking at my bank balance, I'm much more skint than I thought. I hope others who can afford to are more generous than me, useless spendthrift selfish ****** that I am. 🙁

Just had my email. I'm surprised that the amount is as much as it is.

I'll be taking the refund option because it'll cover some flight costs that I'm likely to lose

I had a phone call from them on Friday. I'm having the money transferred back to a card, expecting the 3-5 working days wait.

I've just had a look, and the repayment went into my account on Monday.

The email says it can take up to three months so I'm not too worried, yet. I'll only waste it on stuff like a Villa season ticket, anyway.

I have had an email today to say they are going to refund me for the 6 behind closed doors games over 6 installments. What a load of unnecessary hassle for all concerned.
Title: Re: Season Tkt Refunds
Post by: Towser on July 31, 2020, 07:51:53 AM
Had a email yesterday, both mine and my Wifes refunds made over 12 seperate installments (6 each) they know how to make more work for themselves dont they? Also, new season tickets got a brief mention.

Quote
Your reimbursement for the 6 games you were unable to attend will be sent as 6 individual payments.

Payments will be processed one game at a time and you will receive your total reimbursement amount of £216 over the course of up to 5 days.

There is no need to contact the Ticket Office immediately after the first payment as the following payments will be pending and in your account 3 days from the first payment.

All reimbursements are being paid back to the card that was originally used to purchase the Season Ticket. If your bank account has changed we will subsequently contact you.

Information about ticketing for the 2020/21 season will be released in due course. Please do not contact the ticket office about this directly so that our staff can concentrate on providing refunds to our valued season ticket holders

Thank you for your support.

NB - I haven't had any money back yet

Must admit I’m stumped as to why they’re doing it that way, it surely must be an admin nightmare?

I suppose it depends on what happens with tickets in general next season though, I think the club might have just delayed the arse ache for themselves.

Still no sign of a refund. Had the e-mail it would be in 6 instalments 2 weeks ago but nothing since.

Anybody else still waiting?

Exactly this for me.  E-mail saying it'll be 6 installments in up to 5 days but this was two weeks ago.

Same here, my Wife and I had emails saying refunds were starting within 5 days and nothing since, not even any pending transactions in my account.

Likewise, I do check quite often to see if the £ has come. Might just get it before the season starts then!

You people still awaiting refunds, is it for a seemingly straightforward cash refund back onto the card you originally paid with, or had you been down the ticket office with a bag of used fivers?

Nothing yet for me like so many.
It's not good is it to say the least?
No contact from the club since they confirmed it would take 90 days.
3 months is ludicrous to wait for an electronically sent refund.
It's embarrassing to be honest.

I have now had the equivalent of 4 match refunds, appeared last night, only another 8 to go, but at least it has started.

Me too. Exactly the same - 4 refunds so far.
Title: Re: Season Tkt Refunds
Post by: Astonite on August 15, 2020, 11:04:05 AM
They are something like 60 days into their stated 90 day period to make the refunds. They state they are on track to do it within the timescale set.
The email issued was poorly worded, the 5 day thing refers to how many days it will take to fully refund you once your name is at the top of the list.
Title: Re: Season Tkt Refunds
Post by: CT on August 15, 2020, 08:34:46 PM
Hmm. I’ve had three small separate refunds from the club, adding up to about £60. Doesn’t make any sense at all.

Nowhere near what I’m due for me and my lads ST’s.
Title: Re: Season Tkt Refunds
Post by: AV82EC on August 16, 2020, 08:24:17 AM
I think they said they’d be giving me my refund spread across 6 payments, have had 2 so far so will keep an eye out over the next few days to see what else comes in.

Got the last of my refund installments this morning.  I had to get a manual refund on my daughters ticket as, when I got them during the early bird in Feb 19, it was set up for 23 games instead of 19 as they were gearing up for another year in the Championship so had to do the refund in one hit.  Oh ye of little faith!
