Season Tickets

[Nii Lamptey]

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.

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.

The quality and range of what is on offer is pretty poor too. Plenty of other grounds / clubs have street-food style vendors on the approach to grounds. I know there are occasionally some outside the Trinity, but 4/5 to serve 40,000 people isn't really adequate.

Yes, I’d love the chance to get some Falafel and maybe a none alcoholic cocktail before taking my seat.

....don't forget that your seat would also be adorned with a half n half scarf for each match, to allow you to take that selfie overlooking the pitch to post for all your followers.

They are making more complicated than they need to .  Keep the food and drink simple

reduce the range but get it ready beforehand

If they reduce the range in Upper Witton they might as well shut it down :/)

The most infuriating to me everytime is watching them  spending 30 odd seconds a time pouring a can of beer / cider into plastic pint glasses….utterly utterly pathetic that cans poured is part of the offering

The new beauty is watching them
take coke bottle tops off which are now supplied to stay on .  Then watching your pie walk around the kitchen looking for chips

The ST holders in the Upper Holte should have their tickets subsidised by these posh interlopers in the new bar, after all they are part of the entertainment for them, like zoo exhibits. Roll up, roll up, come and see the working class in their own habitat, see them swear, throw beer around and moan about how we piss about at the back. Like a sporting Bedlam.

'Oh Archie, you simply must come along, its so edgy'

Cant they fuck off and gentrify something else.

For another £500 the  new corporate visitors could throw food at the indigenous folk

I sit in B3 block and there are no concessions in that area either. Same as someone else said, I thought I’d cracked it a few years ago as I was given the concession price, which I gladly accepted. However, within 48 hours I received a phone call to say there had been a mistake so I had to them pay full price.

And now you're in the 1888 price bracket too.

"The Club have also reviewed Blocks B3, B4 and B5 due to their proximity to hospitality with some of the best views within the stadium. Certain seats within these blocks will be upgraded to an ‘1888 seat’ which, for an increased price, includes a padded seat, club tie/scarf and other additional benefits."

Well this all got very sarcastic. I'm just suggesting some people might want some decent food, rather than paying the same price for a burger made of the offcuts of an unknown animal that got rejected for pet food.

lad next me in the Holte suite purchased chips and curry,he said it was shit and hardly ate it, noticed someone else left there food as well and took sometime to get served

They just need to get the basic stuff right. Make it easy and enjoyable to eat and drink. Decent quality stuff for an appropriate price. Maybe one food item that we do brilliantly and become renowned for. Instead of bland, boring and with a long wait, that pretty much makes you go elsewhere for food/drink before the game.

The Punjabi grill tikka & chips may be the one getting that rep.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but how much extra are they asking for the upgrade?

Kid on twitter has apparently been told by the club that they’re no longer offering student concessions.

I'm not saying that's right or wrong but one thing I did notice on Tuesday night as the TV cameras panned to the Lower Holte, was just how old the average Villa fan was. It was like a scene from The Wanderers with the Baldies teaming up with Mike Leigh's A Sense of History.

i think that's what they're trying to do, but charging people in the upper holte £25 a match for the privilege...
