Just tried that. Sadly it didn't work. But thank you anyway.

I've not had the welcome pack. It's only been 7 weeks though since I renewed.
I phoned them because I hadn't received one from months ago and I was told there were "Production issues" - the malaise affecting the club is spread far and wide.

These so called "Memberships" are a spreading disease affecting many spectator sports and just another way of squeezing us till the pips squeak. You're supposedly given priority access to tickets but what happens when loads of people are members?? - what's that line from the incredibles movie?? - "When everyone's special then nobody is".....

My other thought on these memberships; Aren't they a bit pointless to the fan if they've already got a booking history at Villa Park?

Or am I missing something?

You get access to tickets earlier, which is pretty important. Well, when we are doing well, anyway!

Gotcha. Of course, now you mention it tickets do go on sale to members before general sale.

Thanks.

 I live abroad. So when I do come back I try to watch the Villa with my son, it was great for us to get tickets.

But therein lies the problem, when everyone has paid £50+ for a membership - which the club would very much like you to do - then no-one has priority any more and you're back to square one, fifty quid+ worse off and having the piss taken out of you. It's just another con.

Only way me and 6 year old can guarantee seats for games we can go to and sit together.

You can always get singles even for sold out games not 2 together
