I don't mind a reasonable increase, in fairness one was expected after covid, but the size of the increase for some, especially in the current climate is disappointing.
My own 43% increase compared to some at 10% seems unfair and in some respects represents a value statement, when the club are also at pains to highlight there's 24k on the waiting list.
Other clubs can charge what they want and if I supported those clubs I'd think their charges would be wrong also. As for the argument that if we charge more we'll be in a better position to challenge the top 6 or 8 for players and points. I'd be more convinced by this argument if we hadn't spent £95m last summer on players currently struggling to make the 1st 11 and with Coutinho and Digne added to the squad we had done better than 1 point from 8 games against teams in the top 8 since last November.

As someone in L3, I knew I was going to get clobbered with a 10+% increase. Bit annoyed by the 18% hit in the end, but that's still around £35.60 per game if we don't get a home cup game (as is tradition), or £33.85 if we do. Which is pretty comparable to the £30 away ticket cap.

But what does grind my gears is that the bloke sitting two seats to my right in L2 now pays £140 less – two price zones cheaper, rather than £70 less – one zone cheaper. It's really hard to justify why I'm paying that much more for essentially the same view, with the same lack of service on the concourse and endless queues at half time. Even if the club had come out and said 'this is the new 16 pint pouring machines we're installing', it would have made it a bit more palatable. I'd much rather cough up extra cash for *my* matchday experience, than feel I'm just helping the club through FFP while paying the players an absolute barrowful of cash every week for another crap performance.

Just for info - the first home cup game is included.

I also wish for a multi pint pourer - I know they’re expensive as an outlay, but they do enough business to justify it, or could do if they had one.

Thanks Amfy – yep, I know that the first home cup game is included. It's just that it's been included for years now without an actual game to go to.

So, if we don't actually have a home cup game free, the effective price of the season ticket is divided by just the 19 Prem games, not the 19+1 cup game.

The thing with the multi-pint pour machines, is that we know that Villa have tested them. The company was on LinkedIn showing it somewhere inside the Trinity – it's the little things like that that would make loads of people think 'at least the matchday experience will be better next year'.

Edit: and here it is: LinkedIn linky.

The club have to do their part and deliver. We have to have success or at least be on a clear pathway to it or competing for it, to sustain demand at high prices.

Or perhaps higher prices, as they're not high in context of our peers, who are also doing the same thing with the same ambitions. "What difference does an extra £4m make?", well taken singularly, not a lot. But when your closet rival is doing it, then its the possibility to gild wages for 2 more players that we may not have the budget for.

I'd love it to be cheap, Bayern Munich style. But we're not the 1 horse in the 1 horse show like they are. Suck it up we must.
I thought this had been debunked on here recently with a screenie of their current prices.

To avoid a quotathon.

Andy & PGW - the disabled question has not to my knowledge been raised at an FCG.

Don’t know if this has been brought up before but can’t be bothered to trawl through

I’ve renewed but is there still opportunity to move seats at a later date

There is usually a "relocation day".

There is a small section of padded seats in the Upper North , does anybody know if these are open to anyone or are they hospitality seats only ?

Managed to get into my Digital Account but it just shows ‘Error No subscriptions to renew’.

Any ideas how I can remedy this?

A bit OT, but can anyone explain to me or point me in the right direction on how to re-assign an existing season ticket to another person for one match (tonight) online, because I've already been on hold on the telephone to the ticket office for what seems like forever.

Personally I'd just hand the ticket over them, it's never caused me an issue

Finally got through after almost an hour. There is no way to do it online. What a palaver.

Anybody know if the ticket office is open for fans to attend in person?
