Season Tickets

[Meanwood Villa]

This season
CL, 20k allocation (72k stadium)
Europa League, 15k allocation (63k stadium)
Conference, 5k allocation (18k stadium)

Bit shit the conference league final being held in such a small stadium.

If and when we've successfully navigated our way to a major final, I'll start worrying about getting a ticket.

I've got no evidence to back this up ( so maybe take it with a pinch of salt) , but just been sent this rumour...

Next season or the season after the Villa want to have your season ticket on your phone and no card. Won’t be able to pass ticket on but will have to put it on the re sale site.

Surely you could just ping the 3D barcode over to your chosen person to use your ticket.

Friend does it at old Trafford, think you can print it out as well

Remember when we were in the championship,I couldn't get anyone to use my season ticket during the shit times

I'm sure it's not how you meant it, but sticking disabled fans in the corner isn't exactly equality or respectful.

As someone waiting for a wheelchair space, that's a much politer response than I was about to post!

I've responded above.  I'm not talking about leaving people in a fire corridor like a scene from The Office.  I'm saying I'm surprised a good solution couldn't be found without displacing 100 season ticket holders.  ie creating space - whether by an extension to existing seating terrace or corporate facilities.  I'd have thought the space at the junction of the Holte and Trinity could have been used for example fitting in with the existing seating.  I appreciate it is always not as simple as that due to access etc, but we're talking about a billion pound business here.

Yes I saw your reply after I posted.  Unfortunately it all needs to be level access for the wheelchairs so I'm not sure how they could put more places in the corner between the Holte and Trinity.  We did sit there once for a game - it was very draughty!

TBF I think that was more the case in the final days of The Premiership. They’d be on Viagogo and not selling for a fiver!

I wonder if part of the reason for the boom in attendances the last few years is because we'd maybe started to take for granted being in the top flight year after year, and it was only really when we weren't in it any more that we realised it's not something that will always be there.

There's a host of reasons, one of them being the Small Heath obsession that we attract families from the shires in a way no other club can. I've said for many a year that whoever could turn our casual fans into matchgoing supporters will fill the ground every week and now it's happening. Then there's something PWS reminded me of recently - people love to join a crowd.

[Meanwood Villa]

For me it's still the feelgood factor from end of promotion season that brought people back and that got folks back in the habit. The COVID break kept people hungry for live football which means we didn't see a drop off under Gerrard and now we're worth watching again.

On top of this, I think going to a PL game, any PL game, is an attractive proposition for a lot of people so that generates sufficient extra interest to mean we always sell out. What this will be like with the bigger stadium I don't know.

Once season tickets are outstripped by demand. People who might be in two minds about renewing are afraid to drop out. It could be years before they get the opportunity again. I’m confident that if the increased capacity is still oversubscribed at the higher numbers, we will still be seeing full houses. Of course, a decline in our fortunes on the pitch could adversely affect demand, but that fear of giving up a much sought after ST would, even in those circumstances, be a strong incentive to retain that ST.

Absolutely where I am. When I moved north I was going to give up my season ticket and see how many games I got to. If I ended up being at most of them, then I would have thought about getting a season ticket again. Now, I just feel like I can’t give it up, no matter how many games I can’t get to because of re-arranged KOs. Next season with Europa League could be even worse but I’ll still be keeping it!

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Is anyone having problems renewing theirs? I tried to do it last night on the app, but the payment wasn't processed, despite my entering my details and opting into the home Cup game seating list (as they've scrapped the free first game ) Is there a good time in the day to do it? Cheers!

As for the game today at Old Trafford, what minute do you reckon the first dodgy decision (VAR or otherwise) against us? I say 22 when John McGinn is "ruled offside".

[Dazvillain]

Not that I’m a ST holder currently or on the waiting list but still love all things AV and the workings of our great club. forgive me asking these couple of questions if I’ve missed them in this thread already, ;
If capacity of ST is still 30k next season, and knocking North about starts mid season, where will those ST be relocated, or will have a choice ? Is this discussed when those particular supporters renew ?

Simple maths, if this happens, assuming about 5k of upper/lower North are ST holders, when they are relocated, are the club allowed under premiership rules, offer no matchday tickets for remaining games, as there will be no capacity left ?

Only taking 100 seats out for 8 disabled spaces in holte plus another 8 or carers, plus access doesn’t seem a lot to create access, bearing in mind there are plenty of standing fans there for viewable access ? Have fans there been told that it’s a couple of rows affected or a sort of 10 x 10 rows/seats block ?

Interesting
5% and there's uproar .....

For those Season Ticket holders in P5 and P6 upper Doug Ellis. Those of us who retained our over 66 concessionary price through having held those seats for many years. There is a glitch on the online system whereby the concessionary price is not working. Phone up, you’ll get an apology and be able to get the reduction. Takes a while to get through, but at least it’s still there.
