Worth a read 2021 I think

Apologies, but this gets brought up with ticket prices every single time, and there's a few things to unpick.

The first is that there is no reputable source that you can get that quote from.

The second is that Uli Hoeness is a convicted criminal who has spent time in prison since that was attributed to him.

The third is that it's nonsense, you can see the per game pricing (same for season tickets) here; https://tickets.fcbayern.com/documents/en/preisliste.pdf you'll note that it's pretty high, with the exception of the standing section. That standing section is held by people who resell for every single game at much over the 15 euro sticker price, as a result that the waiting list is so long that the club don't let you join it.

Thank you for your comments

I think we all accept we need younger fans and Dads taking sons and daughters (and Moms sorry) if it keep getting more expensive than family's may not be able to attend. At some point there will be a tipping point. I (kind off) get the entertainment argument, and going to Villa is cheaper than the best seats at a west end play, around the same as going to a gig, for example Drop Kick Murphy's £40, or a nice meal with a bottle of wine, but you don't go to west end every week or a posh meal every week, going to the match is a weekly thing. If prices of materials are going up, put your pie and pints up, shirts and merchandise etc. Just because other clubs charge more is not a reason for Villa to charge the same. I don't really see why the match going fan should stump up even more, Sky stick your price up for the arm chair fan then!, sorry to any fans who cant get to games. I go home and away nearly every week, with my son in the second criteria for away tickets, and football is a bloody expensive hobby, yes I could change hobby, its my choice etc, etc.

How do Bayern Munich manage to charge so little for their season tickets and be a very good team, so that should be the question we are asking, not well the others charge more so be thankful.

I'd add to this that if you go out for a gig play or meal, it's exceedingly rare they are terrible which is an all too frequent occupational hazard when watching the Villa.

Equally there are those moments of unbridled joy which only football gives you. Fleeting I know but when they come there’s nothing that compares.

Of course, shame some people might not be able to enjoy those moments.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

VAR is doing its best to curtail that as well but that’s for another thread.

It's a Twitter rumour.

This.

Will there be a meeting with Christian Purslow? The 30% increase is worrying, as they were also so strict with lending criteria over 9 months last season meaning I had to pay £600 as a one off. If it goes up... I would pay it, but would only be able to if it's allowed to be spread over a few months, which isn't possible to everyone, with their credit criteria. Just wondering if there's anywhere this can be raised...

Mental how stressful it can be trying to support your team these days!

There's an SCG meeting. There's also a four page thread based on somebody hearing something on Twitter.

Yes, I understand that. My wider point really, is if there's anywhere we can raise the possibility of spreading the cost becoming more accessible. Even over 2 or 3 months as opposed to 9.

We can only ask.

If such a thing was possible, I'd like a 12 month direct debit with automatic renewal unless you opt out.

[chrisw1]

Yep, that would be perfect.  And I'd be happy with it starting in May so they essentially get 3 months up front.

[cdbearsfan]

Yep, sounds fair.

[astonvilla82]

normally I pay up front, but with energy and fuel prices rocketing, probably opt for a new credit card and just use it for the purpose of paying it off over 12 months interest free

[chrisw1]

Dave, if you're at the meeting tonight is it possible to mention this monthly DD option as suggested by CD?
