Villa Park Redevelopment

[Flin5tone]

By creating a sense of if you don't renew that's you finished. 27k on waiting list puts the prices up but it does not make sense.....

If you had a flight going to a destination and 27,000 people would like to be on board that flight or have some interest in it and seats came up for the going rate. It would be sell in seconds?

27,000 have the opportunity to see their team ? Where are they?

It's happened a few times on evening kick offs. My point is if we have a 52k stadium (and tickets are leas hard to come by) we may well have 10,000 empty for evening games

You're discovering how supply and demand works. We sell out because the elasticity for demand has increased at a time when supply, for the first time in any of our Villa supporting lives, has decreased. The price rises are high, I don't like it, but I will pay it, as will the majority as they're not so high as to impact that elasticity. The club will point to the prices normalising amongst the milieu of our peers and inflation, if they try and justify it at all. Ticket prices next year for just me will probably tip £1300 if you include aways. Fortunately European tickets from recollection were always cheap, travel, less so.

Without dragging the debate off topic or besmirching the intelligence of either of you, if people in general had a basic grasp of the concept Brexit would never have happened.

In one gasp you decry them as money grabbing yet in the next you’re accusing them of lying to create an excuse to waste tens of millions of pounds.

So the North stand redevelopment not starting this summer? Is Due to the infrastructure assurances? Sorry if already posted...

It's unlikely that it will start this summer. 2024 is the probable start date and word on the transport issues is encouraging.

Not one ticket has sold since late yesterday evening

DISGRACE

You are correct. Earlier there were 9 available in A8 now there are 7 so yes, not one but two have been sold.

About selling tickets, possibly we may in a better position under Emery in a few years and people might be saying I like this Aston Villa,on top of the league and in the final of the European Cup, think I support them

Some skewed logic there Fred. 27k for 300 seats on plane or 27k for c10k stadium seats will affect the speed at which they sell.

I've got two people in my house on the waiting list, but neither of them are of an inclination to be sat nowhere near me. In somewhat of a contrast to our homelife.

I enquired at the ticket office about my position on the waiting list when I went to Newcastle.

I was emailed last summer to advise where I was on the list, which was about 12000. They don't change until they know whether people are renewing or not. Once they know that, they will email everyone again.

You're not the Holte End Phantom Farter that Chris Harte on here used to get very upset about, circa 2004, are you?

I started reading this a few pages back and thought the new season tickets had become available. They haven't lol.

They're leaving it late this year. Perhaps they want to see if we qualify for Europe before releasing info.
