It will be interesting to see if we get 30,000 season ticket holders this season
I would be surprised if we do?
Are you referring to the CV-19 impact, perhaps?
I'd be amazed if we didn't sell to the 30k level.

I think that whilst there will be a lot of people who can’t wait to get back to Villa Park, there may well be a few who have realised they quite enjoy not having Villa at the centre of their weekend.
There will also be some who feel it’s too soon to go back & Villa haven’t indicated any particular provision for people who remain nervous and would rather wait and see how the next year of Covid plays out before jumping back into the middle of crowds.

Didn't we have a massive waiting list for season tickets last year? I can't see anything but a full and very noisy VP mthis season.

Agreed. For every person whose circumstances have changed financially etc, as happens every season, there will be those who are itching to get in there and jump on an opportunity to get their first seaaon ticket.

Count me as one of the latter for both reasons.

Has an email been sent out to ST holders about 2021/22 ?

I've not had anything

I do think cov-I’d will have an effect on the number of people renewing

Money may be tight for a lot of our supporters

Hopefully I am wrong and we can get a full Villa Park from next season

It'll be full. There are 8,000 on the waiting list. I can see quite a few, maybe several thousand, not renewing, for various reasons. Lots of people have lost their jobs and, worse, some people will have passed away. I'd imagine, though, that the waiting list will be sufficient to fill any gaps. The club clearly believe so, too, as they haven't provided any timescale for the sale of tickets to those not on any waiting list. Worst case scenario they have to announce general sale for the last few thousand tickets, they still get sold either way.

The only seats in Villa Park that won't be full for league games next year will be in the away end.

At the moment there's no restrictions after 21st June. Even if that goes back a month or 6 weeks, that means away fans I'd have thought.

There is a form to fill in to register interest to join the waiting list for season tickets on the official page. Follow the link to renew and click FAQ's.

Trying to renew. Won’t take my password, they will email me a link, waiting, waiting, waiting.
Try the 0333 number, rings out for a few minutes then cuts off.
For years the website has been a pile of shite, never up to date, never accurate and near impossible to navigate.

Yes I am pissed off.

Just had a very nice email from AVFC asking me if I want to renew my season ticket.
Yes, I am already trying to. Follow the links and end up in exactly the same place as before, waiting for a verification code link that never arrives.

I agree with Amfy.

I suspect a lot of supporters (all clubs) hold on to season tickets in part out of 'habit' - it being something which has become a habitual part of their life. That habit has now been forcibly broken, so I suspect a lot will take the option of not renewing.

Then there's also the chance that for a lot of people, this last year, which has included long spells of not being able to see family and friends, will have made them reassess where and how they spend their time.

For others, there will be concern over how covid plays out in terms of future lockdowns, plus a real nervousness about being around 40,000 people in close proximity.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think we're going to lose 20,000 season ticket holders over it, but I would be amazed if the above weren't the case.

Speaking personally, it is for me - I won't be renewing. It's not all to do with Covid (I had to miss lots of matches before first lockdown, in that season) but I'm going to be honest, it has made me rethink how I spend my time, and I also struggle with the idea of being around that many people again, at least for a while.

I'll pick and choose the odd match, so I won't be bailing totally, but a combination of things has made me not want to commit that much time and money in advance when things are so uncertain in so many ways.

I was sent round in circles too.  By the time I'd finished it I'd changed my password 5 times but got there in the end.  I do agree that the renewing system as it is, is a bag of shite.  It should be much easier to access your account.  The only thing I purchase from AVFC on line is my Season ticket and because of that and don't visit 'the shop' to buy whatever tat during the year I need to renew my password every new season.
