Season Tickets

[chrisw1]

There are about 361 Terrace View/Season Ticket packages left. Gives and indication of take up if you can recall the total amount, maybe about 100? 150?

Where is the seat for that package, is it just a random seat in the Holte End Upper or are they all sat together in say a central location ? Or is the package a bolt on to the existing ST (if you had one ?)

There is a bolt on package available to existing ST holders - that's about £475, so £25 quid per game. 

The ones taking up the 1,560 package will get a guaranteed seat (I presume the same one for the whole season)  It's definitely not in an allocated block all together, as there's nowhere in the Holte where there would be 300n seats together.

Surely if they have bought that package, it's like any other hospitality package in the ground and they have to renew it next year or lose their seat?

[Risso]

I think calling it hospitality is a bit of a misnomer.

[chrisw1]

We're replacing supporters with fans. If they can put corporates in the Holte they can do anything. 

Now they're flogging Terrace View season tickets for £1,560 there's no doubt in my mind the next step is a block of padded seats at the front of the upper Holte.  It's the only way they can even try to justify that sort of price.

I pointed this out at the time and on many occasions

If villa fans were that desperate for a slice of the action every game would have sold out, if there's that much demand . The club opened up the away section upper tier a couple of times and it failed to sell. Yes they made it awkward to buy but if the famous waiting list was that interested the tickets would fly .

Looking at the players we have at our disposal l currently I'd say 7th again would be a massive achievement. Those prices are unrealistic for a club that's been poor for a very long time. You'd expect that on the back of winning the Champions League, not qualifying for a 3rd tier European tournament.

It will be VERY interesting to see the take up for a low level European fixture in the winter months if we can't even sell out against Manchester City in December.

You'll price out the loyal working class and then they might just not return when we inevitably at some stage, end up in the shit again

There's a difference between wanting a season ticket and being desperate to go to a midweek game against Stevenage at an expensive time of year.  Most people on the ST list will get to plenty of games through a season so won't be desperate every time there's a less attractive game. 

The list exists.  There will be some on it who won't necessarily put their money where their mouth is, but I've no doubt there's 20k or so who would.

Don't bother trying to explain the difference between wanting a season ticket and wanting a ticket for an individual game, and dozens of people have explained it to him, but he won't (or can't) understand.

Also "if we can't even sell out against Manchester City in December"?

Moaning about not selling out matches five months before they actually happen?

[Flin5tone]

I'm sorry but if there's 30,000 people on a list wanting a slice of the action and all this so called demand, Manchester City in the league would sell out,I don't care if there was 5 or 5,000 UNSOLD seats , if you have that many people wanting to see the team they'd be snapped up.

We have not got the demand or consistent champions League runs to maintain the level of support we've picked up recently unlike say Manchester United.

We're only 12 positions away from discontent and people dropping out

Would you pay £60 odd quid to watch Villa 4th from bottom ?  That will be the test

[VillaTim]

I don't think the Wolves game sold out either , yes it was midweek but you'd still expect it to sell out ?

[Risso]

I have a season ticket but couln't be arsed with the Stevenage game, especially as it was a Sunday 4.30pm kick off. That would mean not getting home until 9ish, which would result in serious earache from SWMBO.

[Flin5tone]

Of course

The club also suggest it's a category A so will be very interesting to see if the waiting list stump up £63 to see us play Wolverhampton

Transport strike as well that day.

Which Man City in the league game are you talking about?

I'm sure it was November/December last year, possibly the year before. There were a couple of games that did not sell out

This is so fucking boring.

[Dogtanian]

So you're worried we won't sell out when we are fourth from bottom? I'd be more worried about us being fourth from bottom, tbh.
