Season Tickets - 2022/23

[Chico Hamilton III]

None of us want to pay any increase for a season ticket but we must realise that the Villa charge an extremely low amount for the Premiership.

That’s because Villa has a reputation for doing right by our fans. And the club should do everything to uphold that reputation. It’s not a race to the bottom - other clubs should be looking at our model, not the other way round.

I know the catering is crap but that has little or nothing to do with going to watch on a regular basis.

Had one in the upper holte which I was going to renew, but he wouldn't give me the discount because I missed it by a day, was still going to renew but it was s different seat so I got angry and told him to forget about and ask him for the cheapest one he's got, got one in lower holte for about 315 pounds nearly half price for upper holte, haven't regretted it since, at that price I don't mind paying a increase

The point about the catering is they could massively increase their match day income by being more eficient, without having to ask fans to dig too much deeper on ticket prices.

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.

The better we get, the higher the demand, the higher the price.

I guess bringing in Coutinho and the resultant comments like 'worth the ticket price on his own' helps them justify it.

It's business, not charity, and we're the ones who pay; in myriad different ways.

Given the limited amount of alcoholic drinks and the high propensity of people who that drink, i can never understand why they don’t pour loads of pints of the best selling beer, at least in the build up to half time. The idea of pour each individual drink for each individual order is both bad customer service in that packed environment with limited time and just cant make economic sense.
Dont blame the kids behind the bar and does my head in when largely middle aged men start having a go at them. Just mad lack of organisation.

Unfortunately the rules of the game work against that. FFP is a profit-based measure, so the more revenue you can take, from all sources, the bigger your budget. The bigger your budget, the better your players.

Whether we like it or not, revenue is more important to performance than how rich your owners are or anything else. So we can take the principled approach, but it's not going to help us be successful, and I'm not sure the owners are in it to not win things.

Fair enough. If we increased all ticket prices by 30% ( I realise it’s just a figure being thrown around on Twitter) how much would our revenue increase?

Approximately £7m?

[Three Spires Villa]

Good question, probably not as much as some might think. I would like to know the answer. I don’t think it will be 30%

Ok thanks, and for that we can get…….answers on a post card as they used to say.

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.
