Season Tickets 2014/15

[Mister E]

As it stands at the moment theyc ould be halving the price of my season ticket and I wouldnt renew. This is despite having one for over 20 years.

Unless I see something that tells me we are actually going to try and compete in this league rather than just survive then I wont waste my time let alone money.

Pretty much how I see it too - I know Merseyside is only a 2 hour drive from Villa Park but both this and last season it has been a long journey home after many dire performances - for me the spark has gone - even VCTM jnr has lost his enthuisiasm.
Not renewing  - the modern game leaves me cold  - jnr is taking up golf.

Yes, the journey home to Harrogate after the games has been very depressing over the last few seasons - one reason I didn't travel last Sunday despite having a ST. Error of judgement on my part, there.

I'm going to suspend judgement on next next season until as late as possible.

Spoke to the ticket office today and North Stand Upper has gone up £20 to £435.. Lower is £385.

My last season ticket was in the Upper north. Can't remember the exact price but 360 seems to stick in my mind. It was either MON's first or second season so 75 quid increase in 8 years.

TBH I don't mind a 10 quid increase all year in all parts of the ground as long as we improve in the pitch....we have slightly this season but are still treading water.

So if I bought a season ticket for £510 before the 30/04/14 (paid in full), would I get £51 that I could take off it, using my Villa cash?

Or can you not use your Villa cash on that?

[Legion]

Probably not.

Any idea where the £335 seats are?

Looks  like p8, L1,L8 and L9, outer blocks.

Mine has gone up by £15. I will probably take the option of buying at £107 a month over 4 months from May.
That way, I'll have most of it paid off during the time I'm not incurring the other football related costs, ie - getting drunk enough to be able to watch!

As anticipated mine has gone up to £545 - an increase of around 3%. Feeling a bit bolshy today so I've emailed the club:-

"Hi

I'm 60 years old and have been a season ticket holder for more years than I care to remember. I've just seen the prices for season tickets for 2014/15 and my ST in the Upper Holte has gone up to £545 - an increase of approx 3%. How can you justify this increase? The standard of football at home is appalling, with very few wins; we regularly get knocked out of cup competitions by lower league opponents; we now struggle against relegation every season; and to add insult to injury you regularly offer cut price ticket deals to non-ST holders at the expense of those of us with ST's. At a time when my household income has gone down in real terms, how can you justify this increase and, given the points above, why on earth should I consider renewing?"

[Phil from the upper holte]

My old seat is £545, lot of money I think

[saunders_heroes]

Mine has gone up £20. A price freeze would have been good PR considering the rubbish we've watched at home this season. They really haven't got a clue.

I don't see too much wrong with a rise in-line with inflation, which is ultimately a price freeze in any event.

Depends whether you feel you are getting good value for your money.

[Chris Smith]

I think football is far too expensive but talking to fans of some other clubs they pay a fair bit more than I do. So our prices are high but they could be so much worse, mid range price for a mid table side I guess.

It's the old argument, if we expect more to be spent on the team it's inevitable that prices increases will be part of the way they try to find it.

Not good PR though. Considering the results and football we've witnessed at home this season you might have thought the club would have made a good will gesture of a price freeze just as a nod to the fans.

The club are caught in a bind really. To be more successful we need to increase income, the club have decided in the case of certain areas of the ground to make inflation matching increases, so they're not making any more revenue from these increases, they're just matching the position they were in previously.
