It's per transaction, so if you buy 10 tickets, you still pay £2. Still taking the piss though.

And no, you can't avoid it. Unless you buy a ST. I wasn't charged the £2 when I bought mine Friday.

This website should start a petition and send it to Mr Faulkner.

I don't think the charge had come in on Friday, I know when I bought my Malaga tickets on Tuesday, I was told that the charges hadn't started yet.
I expect there aren't many people who will pay for their season ticket in cash, so you'd probably be looking at card fees anyway for that one.

There was a sign on the counter saying "From August 1st" yada yada. And I paid cash for mine.

Never make it easy for them to know what you are doing with your money. They are always monitoring us.

No email from the club with my new AVTV code. Really is a bit daft to have the subs end during the friendlies and then not have a way of sending out a new code to anyone who doesn't buy their ST 3 years in advance.

It happens every time.

Just when I have conjured enough denial and excuses to convince myself the club loves the fans really, they come up with something like this.

They just can't help themselves.

That's a bit unfair. Much of what they do is customer-friendly and if there was a list of the most ethically sound clubs in the Premier League (if that's not too much of a contradiction in terms) Villa would be a lot nearer the top than the bottom. That's what makes this move so annoying - it's like something that would have been dreamed up in the darkest catchpenny days of the Ellis era.

Surely, they could find a way of linking your ST purchase with AVTV, so your code never expires.

You'd think so, but when I double checked the email I had on file they told me an email address that was 5 years out of date. They then said they had the correct address on another system.

I think one of the issues is, villa have IT systems that don't talk to one another.

Maybe Doug has secretly regained control.

That 2 pound booking fee with a cash sale is unacceptable.
I wonder what you'll get for your £2 that you weren't getting before.
