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

Or £5 per game.

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'.

Avanti have 'simplified' their ticketing structure so it now costs me £62 if I want an open return to Villa Park from London, rather than £38. The absolute rob dogs.

I am staggered where this demand for tickets has come from. I was talking to a mate who I had a season ticket with in the 90s

with. We always pondered whether we needed season tickets as you could pick and choose most games ,  but it is phenomenal

now
Yeah, I'm similar. Had a season ticket for most of the 90s but it was hard to justify at times, since there was always 1 or 2 games a season I couldn't make for whatever reason. The worsening Sky schedules finished it off for me, really struggled to make it viable. Since then just gone for normal tickets, which for a long while was fine as I'd go to 10-ish home games plus a few aways so could get tickets for pretty much any match I could make anyway.  Having kids trashed my history though.

Anyway, for me it depends in the concession price. It's been fine this season as there's only me paying full price out of me, my dad, and the kids. What the cost is for them will be make or break next season.

Maybe don't announce a price hike next week after we've been hammered at home.

The only things that should concern you when renewing is whether you can afford it and whether you have the time to go with your family comitment.

Results and value for money never come into it.

Sorry if mentioned earlier, haven’t scrolled back.

Someone mentioned today that it’s a planned 10% increase, but there’s talk of getting rid of zones 5&6 (cheapest seats) and making them all zone 4.
So if, like me, you’re in zone 5 or 6 you’ll have a bigger than 10% increase.

If they're going to do that, I'd rather they left TBH.

Tier 4 - depending where you sit (e.g. middle of the Holte increases to T3)

Apparently apart from the abolition of T5 the other people who will be most affected as concessions

Good Luck to the Football Club with the 'waiting list'  when people have to actually part with cash .
Alienate the loyal fans with ridiculous price increases and you'll regret it.

The fan base at Villa can quickly turn.

If true and  Zone 5/6 is being removed ,that's directly targeting families and those who have bought the 'cheap seats' probably due to finances.  Driving out those on lower incomes for 'fans' on a mystery waiting list

Disgrace
