Season Tickets

[Dogtanian]

Was told last night by someone who works at the club in the finance department it is going to be 20% increase

My comment was is that if we get in the Champions league? they did not reply!!!

Twenty percent!? My calculator doesn't even go that high.

Drip Drip. So when it's "only" 12% we're all grateful.

See Liverpool fans protesting about a 2% increase for their season tickets!!

[VillaTim]

wasn't our announcement due last week ?

[The Moose]

Heck's going to announce it on the pitch at half-time!
Seriously though, if Liverpool are protesting about a 2% increase, would we make any fuss over 10%, 15% or even 20%?
Arsenal and Spurs have announced 5% or so, I suppose our rise will be seen as "catching up".

I was telling a bloke at work that me and the kids are around 37,000th on the waiting list. (We were at 29,000 but had to drop to the bottom this season to add a newly-interested 13 year old). The bloke I was talking to has joined since and he’s about 45,000th.

Surprised they haven't started charging £100 just to be on the list. Yet......

[Drummond]

I'm concerned about membership...

Habing spoken to a bloke who supports Newcastle, he's a member (having had to give up his season ticket a couple of years ago) and doesn't even get preference on tickets, but instead goes into a ballot and doesn't often get through.

I can imagine that's what the Villa will do next.

The club are certainly not doing a great job with regards to tickets. It sounds like we have more on the waiting list than actually attend matches. So, the big question is, why do we not sell out our matches??

Isn't that down to tickets being held back for TV/LG, no take up and then being made available at very late notice?

I think that summarises it quite nicely.

[Skerra]

Agree with you both…it’s a really shocking way for the club to behave. There are people wanting tickets but, yet they don’t put up tickets for re-sale!!

[VinnieChase84]

The ST waiting list is a bit of a myth. It has tonnes of duplicates on it and also has quite a number who live abroad. So realistically are they going to purchase even if given a sniff?
The rumoured figure of true list is approx 12k

[DB]

Liverpool only have 27k season tickets, I read. That’s quite a low proportion but then they get to make more money of day-trippers, tourists etc.

There are 2 TV seats next to me in the UH and they have been sold for every game, and to Villa fans apart from the Newton Heath game. I guessed they were interlopers but the one next to me was a ringer for, and the same size as the Beast off of The Chase so at that point I decided to live and let live...
