I wonder if Claret Club members who paid the £30 will get a refund as I've had no such e-mail ?

ST holders only. It's a 72 hour window to buy a ticket for £20 if they haven't already, if they already have they get a £10 concourse voucher to be used at any home game this season.
To be honest I would rather have the £10 refunded as I don't really want to spend it at the ground. As far as I can see I have lost out for getting my ticket early and paying up front. Those who decided not to go for whatever reason have a better deal!
Yeah, a refund would have been better. Or at least the option to use it against the ticket price for the home leg if we get through. Ah well.
Good gesture but a week or two too late and I can't see it having a big impact on the crowd size. They should have done this when they realised hardly any season ticket holders bought their seat.
Problem is I paid £33 as a season ticket holder, for my seat. So still £3 worse off than if I had not claimed my seat too early. Hopefully, they will learn from their mistake but won’t hold my breath!!

Exactly. The club have made a huge mistake with the pricing of this match and even with this "gesture" I am still out of pocket. Even the £10 I am getting back still has to be spent at the ground so they are not really giving me anything.
In the 30+ years I have had a season ticket I have not missed a home cup tie and I feel a bit cheated!
If I buy something for £4 with my £10 voucher, I doubt I will get any change in either cash or vouchers.
It’ll be use £10 or lose the difference.
Massive mistake by the club.
I’d expect them to load the £10 onto my card as Villa Cash to spend as I see fit.
Is every season ticket holder getting £10 voucher. I got a £30 ticket as soon as the window opened.

Agree with this. Also, the admin cost for printing vouchers and posting. Wouldn't it have been easier to put the £10 cash on everyone's season card?

That would have been the sensible thing to do, but it definitely states a concourse catering refreshment voucher. Like others, I never buy any refreshments on the concourse and don't plan to. The club really dropped a bollock with this.
Just to round off the evening looks like the M5 link from the M6 will be closed at 10:00
Anyone getting a voucher is getting something free, just enjoy a couple of free drinks or some food on the club that you weren't expecting to get when you bought the ticket.
Except that they aren't free drinks or food because I have paid up front for them.
If I am getting a partial refund it should be up to me how and where I spend it!
