Yes, you would think, but Villa has emailed to say they don't accept this or Student ID. He will spend 25% of his time there this academic semester and then 50% the next.
He will not qualify for the discount. I just think it's really poor not just because it's him but in general and an age of fan we need to keep going for the club's benefit. I think within the villa there is the mindset that fans have and will always be there, at the moment they are but I remember differently and it was not that many years ago.
For the first time in many seasons, I have not bought my away ticket (Newcastle) straight away. I know there are plenty to take it but I remember the phone calls to persuade us to renew we used to get if we were slightly late and I don't believe the massive waiting list story for a second.
At present quite a few (both home and away) buy tickets as they understand or believe if they don't they won't get another chance. Hence loads buy away tickets as they feel they have to keep that reference up. If that ever changes they might have more issues. As mentioned I recall half-empty home and away ends.
Not normally a harvester of doom but given the economy and most normal people suffering and an underperforming or just mediocre premier league team. This coupled with a quite large price increase and stealth increases for some (not me) suffered by Villa changing categories leads to life and economic choices being made.
