I went for - let anyone enter the ballot for tickets, but you have to wait 3 games before you can be in the ballot again after winning.
I’d like to prioritise season ticket holders/ long terms fans, but I don’t think the game can afford to be excluding any potential supporters so completely because you never know whether you can get them back.
As an example, I’ve only just started to take my 6 year old nephew to the odd game, & I wouldn’t like home to have ‘no chance’ of going to a game for the foreseeable because it’s an easy way for him to potentially lose interest. There’ll be a lot of people with kids who are the same.
Also - we have loads of non-season ticket holders that make a fantastic effort to see Villa, travelling from distance, that maybe don’t deserve to be excluded either. Or maybe elderly fans, that can’t go to all the games either physically or financially, but would still deserve a chance to get to the odd game.
So in the end, whilst I can see the merits of prioritising ST holders, I thought everyone should have a chance, & maybe just suspend the whole season ticket idea for this year & offer a season’s TV package instead.
