I think the £2 charge is for cash handling. Banks don't want cash anymore as it costs to count/weigh it and transport it.

I tried to bank some cash at the local Alliance & Leicester and was turned away.

I doubt a business this size pays bank charges.

This could be the final nail in the coffin for me. Shabby, shabby stuff Villa. Treat your loyal fans with loyalty back, don't shaft them. We're just sitting ducks and they know it so they abuse it. Terrible attitude to have towards your supporters this, it absolutely stinks. To think that I'm gonna be charged two quid for giving them my hard earned cash? Well they can swivel is all I can say and if there was an emiticon offering a single raised finger to the club I'd be using it now. Disgusted of Aldridge.

I agree.  No business should treat its customers in this way. Especially one that pretends we are more than just customers and let's face it we are but its just lipservice from the club.

By that token you could pay for your tickets plus £2 handling charge with one penny coins muttering "handle this".

Is the £2 charge per event ? Eg. If I went in and bought 2 tickets to a home game and 2 tickets to an away game am I paying £2 or £4 ?

The club say it is per transaction. So it should be £2.

I tweeted @AVFCofficial today with my views and hash tagged #avfc and #ripoff. I suggest if enough people did something similar then perhaps the club would have to comment further.

I won't buying tickets for the Malaga game in protest of this, same as I won't be paying £55 for a Chelsea ticket. Both clubs are taking the piss.

Besides, I'm skint after Dublin!

Really low of the club to pull a stunt like this. Honestly it's the sort of sly, greedy stunt you'd expect at Small Heath not at Aston Villa.
Sort it out, Villa.
