Villa Park Redevelopment

Definitely Villa in the top tier

I think PWS is stating not advertising they are available to be sold very well, hence less in there.

It was how I got a pair for Palace. They went on sale just a few days before but you had to be looking for them.

Could it be we don't really advertise them as they want any potential bookings to be steered towards the rip off + packages?

[London Villan]

You cynic!

Definitely Villa upstairs.

When the new capacity comes in we probably need to make more season tickets available to get 50k in consistently.

Saw something on twitter recently about best & worst matchday experience. We were bottom, although from the article it mainly seemed to be based on the number of pubs near the different grounds. We have 4 within a mile or something. Some clubs have a ridiculous amount. The Warehouse might help there.

I don't understand why they dont take a few to close off 80% of the GA+ unsold and convert to GA within the final week of a fixture. Get the seats sold.

Yep. I'd seen Fulham announce the full allocation, but didn't see Villa announce that the upper wasn't taken. Which won't help sell ticlets there.

We rely on a certain amount of floating fans,  who don't want to come on a Thursday and Sunday, and frankly, I don't blame them.

The idea that we have a bottomless pit of supporters was always fanciful for me. When we are doing well, 55k is not enough, when we struggle 40k is too much.

Thursdays need a lot of rearranging in my house, and when the prices are as they are it makes it even less attractive. Sundays are a bitch, my lads' U10 and U11 football (the latter of which I coach) has to take precedence.

Looks like my season ticket is going to get further away this season.

I think we’ll all be able to get one next season, or the season after at the latest. They’ll have to manage the FOMO when capacity is up.

I think this is true.  Went to most of the Europa Conference games a couple of years back as tickets in the North Stand were about £25 from memory, so whilst they were a bit inconveniently timed, I'd go because it was cheap and the atmosphere was pretty good.  But yeah, I'm not paying premium match prices for a midweek game, which tbh are a pain in the arse to get to.

I had ticlets and chips in the Trinity yesterday. Not very nice.

Ticlets?

Ah, read above post now.

We really need to get better at marketing that returned allocation in the Upper Tier when the “smaller” PL clubs return it. You’d think they’d be able to send an immediate email to members only or maybe ST and Members,  advertising it to get the message out. I realise it’s often at short notice but it would seem we need to do better.

They need to do something as having empty seats which could be sold as GA is not a good look.
