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.

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.

Leave it a few days and I'm sure the tel number will be a bit quieter.
I find it very frustrating that Villa are using V12 finance for payment installments. I have a couple of relatives, with season tickets spanning over decades, who's credit has been impacted by covid and have been rejected.None have ever missed a season ticket payment, and will now be forced to give up their season tickets as they simply can not pay in full by 30th June. I really hoped Villa would be more sympathetic at a time like this - why can't they offer an in house installment over 4 months like they have in the past?We're not getting a fucking mortgage.

What about getting interest free credit card,pay some off every month, could be over 12 months or more and may work out better
I can't wait to be back...missed it like hell.Meanwhile can anyone clarify what you get with the cup scheme and what it costs?
