Match Ticket Prices

[Greg N'Ash]

heh. The forum's own one man Villa PR campaign strikes again.

How about people who ARE working but don't earn pop-star wages, and can afford the odd treat, such as a trip to see their football team?

By implication those that can afford more than the odd treat, i.e. a season ticket, are earning pop-star wages. This is the second time in the thread where you've used melodramatic language to try to emphasise a point and there is no need.

Eh?

That's some pretty odd logic going on there.

I earn pop star wages.  Unfortunately, that pop star is Sean McGuire.

You wish.

Things I never thought I'd see:-

1.  A liberal Democrat/Conservative coalition.
2.  Bret Hart return to the WWE.
3.  Robbie Williams rejoin Take That.
4.  Gregnash post in a thread about match tickets.

I don't imagine he's coining in the PRS royalties these days.

Season tickets for me and my lad in The Holte totalled £440.00

£ 11.57 each per game.

£4.23 each per week.

Like many others I'm on skint street at the moment but I find those rates acceptable to be part of the establishment that is ASTON VILLA.

I work nights in the week, and we have football commitments on Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons so his mates may well frequent our seats as often as we do; but I'm still feeling the luuuuuuurve at those rates.

How on Earth did you manage to get them that cheap?

By taking full advantage of the purchasing schemes divised by the club.

  I found this graph showing how much people spend on football comapred to wages that you might be interested in Risso?

It has sound on it.

Ads, I'm never going to turn around, and ban you.

Sean McGuire - didn't he actually go on to be big in That America, as an actor?

I haven't read the whole thread, so I'm not sure if this has been covered.

One thing that's always puzzled me is why it costs more to sit (stand) in the Upper Holte than it does in the Upper North.

Its essentially the same view but ST wise its over £100 more

Because we're common.

Facilities are better.

If you actually try to sit down in the Upper North, and you're anything above average height, you'll find the (quite sharp) edges of the seat in front driving so far into your knees as to render it impossible.

Do you think if we suffer a decline in attendances next season that certain people in both the media and possibly the club will start criticising the fans rather than looking at the real reasons?

I like it, a dig based on an imagined reaction to a potential situation several months in the future.

The worst critics of a probable down turn in attendences are bound to be on here first and loudest!

Just clairified the key word of the question.

It seems you have imagined I have made a dig based on an imagined reaction to a potential situation several months in the future.

It wasn't a dig at anyone I merely suggested that if in the potential scenario our attendances drop off to say low to mid thirties will the press speak of coquettish Villa fans or will they realise it's because of the spiraling cost of the game (I know our prices are reasonably fair in comparison to others) and other factors such as the recession and so on.
