Cubs/Clarets membership

Seems reasonable.  Speaking personally, I tend to avoid games against the Sky6(5) anyway, preferring to go to games against the 'lesser teams', so I will not be partaking of a bundle.

I'm the same - I go to see Villa not the opposition so I'm happy to go to a lower cat game. However, the bundles are an early chance to secure a couple of tickets, and there's one pairing which works for us so I'll probably go for the Chelsea & Palace one, which is also late enough for the season for me to have a stab at the first timer one for half the season too.

A lot of the Sky teams are 'lesser teams' now anyway.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Think likewise, I'm more interested in matches against teams we play less often, rather than the Sky 6.

[eamonn]

I generally agree and have tended to focus on attending games we should win especially when spending hours to get to and from VP but nothing beats the feeling of beating one of the big bastards and our home record is pretty mint against them these days.

This is good, would like similar for away games to give more fans the chance to get tickets:

"The First Timer Ballot

Allows for up to 250 match tickets that will only be open to members who are yet to attend Villa Park for a match in 2026/27 but have attended at least one match in either of the past two seasons. This offer will be valid for Premier League and UEFA Champions League league phase matches only. Members will only be able to purchase through this ballot once during the season."

Me too. Even though I am inside the away-day cartel, I do think it’s a shame if the same group of people only ever get to go.

And some people are definitely selling tickets on anyway.

[Halfway to Moseley]

A mention of what time on Monday the bundles are going on sale would be helpful.

No reference to matches not featured in the bundles - presume these will be sold singularly on a first come first served basis?

No mention of Champions League tickets either - though I guess they’re waiting on the draw.

[rob_bridge]

Do all of them go on sale on Monday? Or just the 1st one with Arsenal

[Meanwood Villa]

They were all on sale this morning. Chelsea and Palace bundle purchased with minimum fuss. Main reason is to boo Rogers and McPhee (not really)

[rob_bridge]

Yeah got one for Liverpool / Ipswich. Other ones aren't all that convenient for my school age lad.

[Bosco81]

I went with Man City/Hull in the top bit of the Trinity Upper, I'm presuming what's left for Arsenal after the 1,000 bundle tickets go will be on-sale by the end of the week, once they've sent details of the Waiting List points out, as they want to sell any remainder next Monday to members who have got less than 120 points.

[Meanwood Villa]

None of the bundles sold out yet from what I can tell

[Flamingo Lane]

I suspect an awful lot of claret members usually wait until they know the precise date and time of a fixture before deciding whether to buy.

[Meanwood Villa]

Yeah, looking forward to Chelsea being moved to Monday night

I certainly do!

This is great because Me & Mr Amf have gone for the same bundle! Hope we get to see you!
