I'm not throwing the towel in, I'm simply not renewing. I will still go to every home game via a combination of cheap seats, viagogo and deals offered by the club. All in all I will still get to see every game but will be a lot better off.

I think this is a bit of a myth with some of our fans. Yes, there are several games where the club do cheap tickets and viagogo also comes in handy.

But just think how much you'll spend getting tickets for Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal alone. That's easily £100+ for 4 adult tickets for those games. To be cheaper than our cheapest ST you would then need to get the other 15 games for less than £235, that's a maximum of just over £15 per game, viagogo will really have to come up trumps as the club won't be doing the majority of the 15 games left at that price.
Yes, just think of that lovely points-fest you might miss - for Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal.

There's upper trinity tickets available on Viagogo currently for Southampton, Fulham and Hull for just over a tenner. Think I got my Chelsea tickets for 20 quid aswell so it is possible probably although I haven't keep track as I've missed 4 home games this season and will be missing the Stoke game aswell.

How many tickets are on viagogo at these prices? Is it pretty much a limitless supply, or is it something that the laws of supply & send would push upwards if  too many more people do it?

You would assume that most tickets on Viagogo are season tickets being sold by ST holders who can't go to the game, so it stands to reason that if a lot of ST holders decide not to renew and go down the Viagogo route then there will be less available and they will be more expensive.

So renew you bastards so I can get cheap tickets when I want them!

There are 6 of us that go together, with two sets of 3 season tickets in the same block in a part of the ground that suits us. If we decided to do it on a match by match basis then the chances of replicating that would be slim and would diminish our enjoyment of the day. I suspect that is the case for a majority of ST holders.

So, for those who go on their own or don't care where they sit then I can see the benefit of match by match purchase but it's not for me.

There's usually Upper Trinity tickets available on Viagogo for ridiculously low prices (10-15 quid) for most games about a month before the fixture. No idea who is selling them but not complaining.

Other parts of the ground the prices are pretty much face value.

http://www.viagogo.co.uk/astonvilla/Sports-Tickets/Football/Barclays-Premier-League/Aston-Villa-FC-Tickets/E-552207

So for the Stoke game next week we have a couple of lower Holte tickets available for 12 quid and another in the Upper North for 11.36.

With the lovely booking fees that still rounds up to 15 quid to watch the game so can't complain with that really.

I enjoy sitting miserably with the same miserable faces around me . That's what ST ownership is all about . Viagogo doesn't give you that.

No but the booking history from buying on viagogo will.

Good point. You need a booking history in the form of a Customer ID to purchase match tickets from them.

I'd say Viagogo seats are mainly supplied by the club. Obviously the 1s and 2s are supporters that can't go. But when you're talking about whole bunches of up to 6 at a time (especially in the Upper Trinity) that's got to be the club offloading

What i find incredibly bizarre is these seats are the top price bracket ones yet are sold for as little as a tenner. Why don't the club just drop the price to £20 themselves and then i'm sure they'd shift em via the ticket shop?

I got two for the upcoming Fulham game in A1 for a combined total inc postage of £12.68. That was with a Viagogo discount code but nonetheless
