£677 - wow, that is an increase, i wonder how many of our current 30,000 ST holders will not re-new?

I don't sit in my seat as we have to stand throughout the game as the people in the row in front of us stand (would I be due a reduction for a standing season ticket)

Just been on the website, it seems as though they are doing you a favour by letting you have your ST so cheaply!

Is it not cheaper in the Meldrew section?

I’m struggling to understand why there is a price jump for kids who are turning 14? I could understand 18 or even possibly 16, but 14 year olds aren’t earning an income are they?

The club believe under-14 tickets are too cheap now so they've reduced the concession rate.

I've got an error when buying online.  Myself (adult), my Dad (over 66) and my daughter (under 14) can't buy together as, and I quote, an Under 14 ticket but be purchased with an adult ticket.  Banging my head as there are two adults trying to renew as well.

Just done the FCG - season ticket prices tba in the next couple of days, and on sale from then too with a renewal window to 8/6/22 & relocations from 13/6/22.

Prices set to rise 10% overall. After consultation with the fan group they have put a cap on the compound rise for those affected by several different factors (e.g if your seat is going to a higher zone and your are in a concession bracket where the discount is shifting).

As I wasn’t at the last meeting I’m not clear on which zones are changing price level - but not long to wait! Restricted view seats will still have a 10% discount against other tickets in the same area.

Overall, the concession discounts in the past have been much better than for other clubs and are generally still better discounts but with the gap reduced. E.g. - an u14 ticket had a discount of 83% which has now shifted to 78% against a Premier League average of 73%. If an u14 is in a seat where the zone is being changed, the overall rise will be capped.

In the case of families they will either cap the price rise for the family ticket, or the discount applied to an individual in that family, whichever is more advantageous to the family if there is a compound rise.

The senior concession is moving from age 65 to 66. It was going to be 67 but on consultation they recognised that this was an awkward anomaly for anyone who is currently 66!

On the day of the announcement they will be putting extra senior staff on AVFCsupport on Twitter to answer any questions arising from the announcement.

The waiting list is still going up and is now over 24,000!

They also said 10,000 people have responded to the North Stand redevelopment survey but would like as many as possible to respond to get the best possible picture before final submissions to planning.
Amfy, Did the club mention changing the criteria for Disabled ST holders with a Personal Assistant, as yesterday i went to renew mine and my PA's tickets only for
the club to refuse my PA. Managed to speak to Anthony, the disability officer who told me that the new criteria has gone up from Standard PIP benefit up to Enhanced.
                  This has totally shocked me i must confess, i had no idea this change was coming, if i'd had prior notice i would have tried to get my case reviewed by relevant authorities.
Got no chance of doing that by the 8th June, which from memory is deadline day for renewals.
Were you or anyone on the FCG aware of this as i believe the club has brought this in through the back door.

At my age and time served maybe it's time to give up but i would have liked it to have been my choice, it certainly wouldn't have been next season.

My rise is £333 to £531!!!

Which kidney do I sell to renew???

Where were you sat?
I thought cheapest last season were £370
I'm in L1 Lower Holte in the corner with a restricted view. The previous price was also based on early birding while in the Championship, I think. I need to double check: I only saw the new season price plan for the whole ground before I went into shock.

BTW, that's shocking about the PIP change PGW, it's hard enough to get an award for that in the first place, despite what the media say. I wonder if the club has looked at the Disability Discrimination Act.

Could be worse. Just been to my sons training. Cheapest tickets my mates are being quoted are £400 for the European Cup final.one of the blokes is being told he has to cough up £7000 via non-normal routes. Yikes.

Not at all shocked at the prices of tickets .... more shocked that you have "mates" ;) (joke)

Prices of UEFA competition final tickets are a disgrace, as is the ridiculously small number made available to actual fans. If ever Villa make another continental final I doubt I'll be able to go. Though, I suppose, I was at the last one, technically.

Absolute disgrace
Imagine if Doug Ellis pulled a stunt like this sitting 13th in the table. Be absolute uproar.

I remember the protest days and people gathering in sports halls to protest when we were sitting 8th with very reasonably priced season tickets.

Huge backlash across social media but the club won't care, purslow is like our current Tory Government,it's like they enjoy seeing the working class suffer

I was surprised that it wasn’t mentioned as I am aware of the controversy around it because even those who have known for a while have felt it was a short timescale to sort this out.

Joanne McKibbens from the AVDSA was present and didn’t say anything so I presumed this had been discussed at a previous meeting. I am aware that there has been a strong feeling that there should have been a season’s notice for this measure, not brought in for this renewal window which left people with very little time to resolve it.

Are you able to contact this group to see what the response from the club has been regarding concerns? I’m sorry I didn’t ask about it, but I did think it must have been answered previously when Joanne didn’t mention it.

Dave W went to the last meeting and so he might be able to shed some light on this?

As someone in L3, I knew I was going to get clobbered with a 10+% increase. Bit annoyed by the 18% hit in the end, but that's still around £35.60 per game if we don't get a home cup game (as is tradition), or £33.85 if we do. Which is pretty comparable to the £30 away ticket cap.

But what does grind my gears is that the bloke sitting two seats to my right in L2 now pays £140 less – two price zones cheaper, rather than £70 less – one zone cheaper. It's really hard to justify why I'm paying that much more for essentially the same view, with the same lack of service on the concourse and endless queues at half time. Even if the club had come out and said 'this is the new 16 pint pouring machines we're installing', it would have made it a bit more palatable. I'd much rather cough up extra cash for *my* matchday experience, than feel I'm just helping the club through FFP while paying the players an absolute barrowful of cash every week for another crap performance.

Just for info - the first home cup game is included.

I also wish for a multi pint pourer - I know they’re expensive as an outlay, but they do enough business to justify it, or could do if they had one.

Just an extra £185 for me, ho hum. I'll pay it, but it will take some sweet talking and lots of extra odd jobs and tasks as a result.

Even with a multi pint pourer they would get it wrong. If they want to 'simplify' things start with the catering.  Stop pouring bottles/cans into PLASTIC cups. Just give the can out or a plastic bottle like before it's absolutely ridiculous
