Villa Park Redevelopment

[Lucky Eddie]

What on earth is "the vomitory' centred on rows 21 to 24 of B7?

It's for the people who overdo the free drinks when enjoying our 'Premium Experiences'.

Posh word for Exit.

Of course they’ll charge Trinity Road prices for North Stand relocaters.

Anyone who thinks they won’t hasn’t been paying attention much lately.

And to be honest, in this case they’re going to be entitled to do so.

I don’t think season ticket holders in the North currently are going to agree that the club are ‘entitled’ because the club are the ones doing the moving.

Agree with everything else though….i suspect the upshot will be well above inflation rises across the stadium & those in the North will get double whammy & the club will give zero effs as every non renewer will give them an extra seat to sell match by match for more.

I don't see why they shouldn't charge more tbh - the seats in the North are cheaper because the experience of that stand is so piss poor. As someone mentioned, them moving them to the Trinity at North Stand prices would open up a load of other questions re people paying full whack, but on top of that, they'd be getting the high end experience at the low end price.

I like our owners very much indeed, they've got tons right, but they also seem to be extremely unsentimental on things like this, so there's going to be no chance.

And as you said, also the ne North STand is going to be a premium experience (Jesus, can't believe i just used that term) and not a cheap and cheerful one.

Wasn't the Vomit Tory involved in that partygate thing?

Yeah, expecting them to be in line with the expensive bits of the Trinity Road stand & the Terrace View/Lower Grounds Splitters seats.

Though to be fair I think there's a chance getting a Lower Grounds bundle might end up being better used next season when there's fewer seats available, specially given how the club's playing

[frank black]

I agree, suspect the North standers will be given options around the ground at different ‘zone’ prices. But highly likely to be more expensive and also not cheaper when they finally go back to the north.

It’ll be interesting to see if overall season ticket prices get hikes and whether they press ahead with the planned corporate packages for behind the dugout… From a selfish perspective I hope they’ll shelve this idea, at least until the new stand is complete. Last thing they need is hundreds of trinity road folks to fit in elsewhere on top of the North standers.

[AV82EC]

Let’s be honest they’ll do whatever generates the most revenue. I’m fully expecting a further price hike of around 10% this summer.

I agree with Paulie really.  The North Stand is being knocked down.  Those cheap seats will be gone forever.  People with seats there will have an opportunity to buy seats elsewhere in the ground at the prevailing rates.  I'm not that sure it's reasonable to expect anything else?

We can all argue about the prices of the remaining stands, but the club is clearly determined to start bridging the revenue gap with the clubs we're hoping to compete with.  They could be a bit more sensitive with the way they go about it and they are fortunate that Unai is bailing with them out to some extent with the superb home form.  But I think we can all see the direction of travel.

I don't see why anyone in the 'new' North Stand should get cheaper tickets than the Holte End, considering the (presumably) superior experience in there versus the 30 year old one opposite?

There's not much chance they will.

Non I'd think.  I think it will be heavily corporate and a 'premium' stand.

[London Villan]

Our "premium" seats will more than double with the new stand. The number of new "regular" seats will only be about 4000-5000.

According to Villa website all tickets for the Terrace View and Lower Grounds against Burnley are sold out

They're not much cheaper, if cheaper at all, than the Holte End tickets now.  £40.50 for lower North Stand against Sheffield United and Burnley.
