Pravda: Season ticket holder news release

[TimTheVillain]

I think we have the ultimate 'damned if they do' here. And to be honest, of all the things other teams supporters would reckon we have to complain about, ticket prices are low on even that short list.

I shall renew my season ticket if the cost does not increase - simples

Me too, simples !

I see this season as almost a waste of money.

WOO HOO 

Phone call last night from Villas marketing Dept
Me and the two kids have been selected to attend a training session on Monday

I feel a sickie at work coming on!!

[MoetVillan]

Des, you bastard.  That means there is only 199 left, and my odds are getting worse!  Seriously, well done, have a great time

[DB]

There are some cynical people on here, everthing the club does is turned into a negative.

[villa1]

Enjoy, Des. Fair play to ya.

[Legion]

Nice one. Enjoy.

As a show of appreciation for their dedication to the club, 100 season ticket holders will be invited to Villa's Bodymoor Heath training ground, where they will be given a guided tour before watching the players train and eating at the restaurant.

Why would i want to watch the players eating at the restaurant ?


I suspect that this part of the draw will be fixed in favour of those with family STs

Take camping equipment if Dunne is involved.

Yh agreed thats the first time having the kids has been useful!

This standing around by the tunnel and then watching them warm up from by the dugout doesn't particularly appeal to me. It sounds cold.

Yeah I found that strange. What happens once the match starts, do you just go back to your normal seat or are you invited into the directors box as a one off?

You keep your lion costume on and you go and shake hands with some kiddies.

I think it is a really good idea, but the chances of it being you are extremely slim lets be honest. I also like the 'recruit a Villian' idea. - They're all pretty easy to initiate thought and cost little.

I suggested this idea on General Krulak's thread...

The club clearly has a problem selling the most expensive seats in the ground, even for the local derby against Bordsley Green. Why not offer season ticket holders an 'upgrade'. For example, I sit in the wings of the Doug Ellis Upper, why not offer me an upgraded seat in the centre of the stand or the Upper Trinity along with my pals, the club would then have my seat (that would be sitting empty) available to re-sell for a lower price.

That way, being a season ticket holder you wouldn't mind the cheaper match tickets being sold quite so much.

Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that they would not be renewing as they would be prepared to take a chance on buying tickets on a match by match basis for the cheaper price. I think I would do the same, being a season ticket holder really isn't as financially beneficially as it used to be.

How about stop reducing the prices of every game with bundle offers etc and ensure the season ticket price is competitive.

How about getting your facts straight on the difference in value between a season ticket and the offers the club put out?  If you don't want to renew then fine, but don't do it because you think you're better off with the offers - the simple fact that's been proven plenty of times and confirmed by the General is that if you want to go to every home game a season ticket is the cheapest way of doing it.

But I bet there's not much in it. Miss just one game and I reckon you'd lose the advantage price-wise of an ST.
Of course there are still other advantages of an ST such as having your own seat.
