Season Tickets

[Drummond]

As usual the process to renew is proving problematic. The online/digital account system doesn’t work for me and I’ve been hanging on the phone for over an hour now.

Why not wait a bit, you've plenty of time before the deadline.

It's matchday, there will be loads of people doing the same and if it's a straightforward renewal I'd reckon you could wait until a quieter time?

After dutifully responding to the email to renew my ST, I got as far as the pre-chackout to be told that our 2 seats of 20+ years have been taken??
When I refreshed the page the following message came up:

'Error: A potentially dangerous Request detected in one of the fields. Please correct the offensive value and try again.'

Reading this, I felt as though I had abseiled down the Trinity stand holding a suspicious package!

How to win friends and influence people... Still no stadium-wide guide to ticket prices on the official site - unless someone knows/can advise where to find?

Where do you sit?  Are you in the new 1888 area (B3, b4 and a bit of B5)?

Not a season ticket query. But can anyone explain to me why A3 is cheaper than A5.

A5 is more central

You've got until the end of May.  Relax a bit.

I am guessing A3 is similar in situation/ location to A6 whereas A4 and A5 are more or less 1 large block split into 2 situated on the half way line, I am in A5 and a guy who sat in the same row as me moved seats last season, ticket office told him if he moved towards The Holte by approx. 10 seats, his ticket would be a lot cheaper from what he was paying where he originally sat

I'm in T1 so I'm taking it as some sort of win that my ticket is 'only' going up the 15% and not a whole category + 15%.  Which it would have done if I was literally the other side of the aisle in T2.

I was expecting an increase, but I was still a bit surprised with £779 for my K4 seat. Haven't given a thought to not renewing though.

The reality is that competing at the top-end of the Premier League is really expensive and if we are to get the success we all crave it's going to cost.

I do wish they would spend more money on the kiosks though, too few staff and nobody seems hurried to serve anyone. I bet they could increase the revenue significantly if everyone who wanted a drink or pie could actually get served without missing half the game or finding they've run out.

They couldn’t care less about it, if they did they’d hold their service providers to account and ensure they delivered an adequate service.

In the grand scheme of Premier League a few thousand extra a game in income is small fry, clearly not enough to make the club get their fingers out to sort it.

[VinnieChase84]

Seems the majority have gone up 26% since 20/21 season

I'm in K2 and its gone from

575
633
728 next season

On this basis we will be looking at £1k come season 26/27 - utterly wrong imo

Meanwhile Leicester have had theirs frozen for 8 of the last 9 seasons.

I get the income rational due to way ffp etc works but this extra really doesn't even touch the sides. A £120 rise across 30k is only £3.6m extra income. Yet we are the ones who suffer and feel the effects.

[AV82EC]

£3.6m. One squad players annual wages.

[simon ward 50]

£3.6m. One squad players annual wages.

Or the additional money Wet Spam could pay us for Danny Ings if they stay up?

[chrisw1]

£3.6m. One squad players annual wages.

I thought this.  But if they froze them this season the income gap gets bigger and if they try to start bridging this with a 20% increase next year people aren't going to look back and say fine, they froze them last year.

I'm against the 15% increase and think they're really taking the piss with things like the new Holte bar, but I can see why they feel they need to start bridging the income gap.  The continued shit facilities whilst they raise these prices are not acceptable though.

[Luffbralion]

I take it the 15% increase is a base figure.  I'm a septuagenarian in T2 (right next to T1) and my senior's ticket is going up from £345 to £517.  Yes...67%.

Is Michelle Mone involved behind the scenes?

This infuriates me more than anything. I worked in pubs in my younger years, and I can remember it being like a cardio workout for 6hrs straight (longer with the lock-ins!).

You look along the counter at Villa Park and most of them are just fucking stood there clueless! Not sure if it's just a generational thing or whether it's inept management just need to get a grip - I'd hazard a guess at both!

They could easily double their revenue (and probably the rest) if they sorted out prematch/half time counter efficiency.
