Simplifying makes sense, though it's all smoke and mirrors. Why not just say 'We are putting prices up to raise more money to pay Coutinho because so many of you said he as worth the ticket price on his own'. Or, 'We're aiming high, and that means more cost, we need to increase revenue and I'm afraid you lot are going to pay for it'. p.s. We'll improve the shit facilities so that you can spend more instead of waiting in queues and missing what you've already paid to see.
£100 or £150 is a hell of a price hike, though, especially with the cost of living going up as it is!

Has any one said they are going up 20% + ?

I think some are worried that if you've currently got adults and kids tickets in zone 5, you are going to be hit three ways. Your ticket is going to zone 4 price, then 10% +, then your concession reduction is also going for the kids.Which will be a hefty increase.

They haven't finalised it but at the FCG meeting they stated all seats were going up a minimum of 10%.  There was also a plan to change some Zones and reduce some concession discounts.  So yes, if you're Zone changes then if they go ahead with the plans then you could easily be looking at a 20% uplift, more if you have a concession ticket.

My suspicion is they will back track on the Zone adjustments or tone them down a bit, but we'll see.

The bottom line is they’ll be looking to maximise revenue. How that cuts across the 36 different price points (6 zones and 6 pricing categories) remains to be seen but we are all going to pay more so at least.

As someone in Z2 Adult who can afford a hefty increase I’d be happy to see that as opposed to maybe pricing people out in Z5-6 and also kids who are the Z1/Z2 Adults of the future. However that’s possibly too socialist for Purslow and it looks like those potentially least able to afford it will be priced out. All supposition of course but I hope its as fair as it can be.

Not everyone in the Holte is a Tory with spare cash hanging out their back pocket.  There's plenty of youngster there because that's where the atmosphere is.  Seats aren't means tested at the Villa so we have to be careful when advocating too much cross subsidising.  I suspect our cheapest seats will remain some of the cheapest in the PL.  Lets not drive the atmosphere out of the Holte by going too far here.

I don’t know if I’m more offended at the implication I’m a Tory or a Holtender? I’m neither for the avoidance of doubt.

Those at the top are taking the P out of us big time. The every day person is being walked over whilst the Government and those in charge do as they please. The little man isn't wanted , same applies to zone 5 and 6 supporters.

Remember where you came from and who were there in the wind and rain on a Tuesday night in the Championship

I was there against Middlesborough in the Zenith Data systems cup before the Holte roof was extended and got thoroughly pissed on and now can't get a couple of season tickets if i wanted to but you don't hear me complaining.

Anyway, Boris and his mate got a fine today so that'll cheer you up hopefully.
