The club presented the FCG with the results of a detailed, strategic review of Aston Villa’s pricing from the last ten years and benchmarked against a wide range of Premier League clubs. The conclusion is likely to result in heading towards some simplification of concession rates and the zoning system with an additional increase of 10 per cent across the stadium.

You can read whatever you like into the word 'simplification'.

[PeterWithe]

Although its pretty widespread to plant stories of a 30% increase and then when you announce a 10-15% increase, it looks more reasonable than it might otherwise have done.

I told ya.

Sounds like if you're in an area of the ground where the Zone goes up a tier (lower North, Middlle of Lower Holte) and have concession tickets then it's going to get a bit punchy.

I see rumours of a £100 increase in those areas

[Drummond]

To be fair, there are so many different rates for concesssions etc, along with different prices depending on where you sit that it is complicated.

Simplification is a good idea as long as it doesn't mean shafting those who have less ability to pay.

[cdbearsfan]

Maybe, but I moved to my current seat because it was cheaper, and I'm always skint. If I'd have known it was going to end up the same price, I could have stayed where I was which had a better view and fewer fights.

[SaddVillan]

Given the state of the economy, the forecast rise in energy and other prices it seems to me that Villa and other clubs with a similar fan profile (i.e. not made up of 35% tourists) are going to have to judge ST prices for next season very carefully.

Although we have a good representation of overseas fans who come for the odd game, we're not yet a tourist destination.

I know we have a waiting list for STs, but if current ST holders decide they can't afford to renew at current prices let alone if there is an increase - whatever that might be - will those in the queue be sufficiently well off to be able to make up the difference? One would hope so.

There's been plenty of press reports already of people having to choose between "heat or eat"; I wonder if the next quandary for some will be:  heat, eat or seat?

[Skerra]

Seems to me, as a senior citizen, that the only thing that has been kept down is the increase in pension payment at 3.1%. Everything else seems to be going up by at least 10%. I also read into this that the simplification is just another way to stop certain seating areas being given concessions. If we don’t progress over the next couple of seasons and, ticket prices go up substantially, the waiting list will vastly reduce in numbers.

People in the cheapest seats hardest hit 10% plus no tier 5. My ticket goes up over £100
