It's live again today. I've had an email prompt and just registered.
My claret membership runs out in August 2022. Probably why I haven't had an email.
You don't have to pay 40 quid for the right to buy a ticket. You can take your chances with general sale! I've had a membership since championship days - bought it to get the right to buy away tickets for Fulham. Got me back into going to Villa Park after donkeys years and my lad into being a Villa fan and got us to Wembley twice. Will renew as long as the children want to come with me - they like being members.
