According to this article, the David Targett Lounge was converted into a community space in 2019:

https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2018/09/19/community-project-to-transform-villa-park-suite





Money talks - the local community group will be evicted like the season ticket holders.
Do they still use it?  This article was from 2018.

I'd say if there's unused space or underused space in the Witton then it absolutely makes sense to make commercial use from it when we have such a lack of space in the stadium.  Obviously, it would probably be better used as overspill w/c's and catering for the chronically underpar concourse, but if it becomes premium space then so long as they're not reducing the current facilities then so be it.

There's also nothing to stop an away supporter from buying a Villa membership and buying a ticket that way.

Tbf you can do that at most clubs.

Not really much you can do how do you prove someone is a fan of that respected club. Obviously if they will get banned if found out. But its their money if they want to waste money on a villa membership that will just benefit our club if they dont support villa

Didn't Man United do something against Galatasaray this season whereby they declared several blocks of home seating as 'hospitality' seats and then sold them to Galatasaray fans, gave them hospitality lanyards and sent them to sit amongst the home fans?

I recall seeing a few youtube videos of Man U fans pointing them out and getting very angry. It wasn't just a few away fans, either, there were hundreds of them.

The irony. Fun to see them as also-rans these days, despite us doing our best to help them out this season.

When I lived in the North West, I wanted to go to a Preston game and for some reason picked the game against West Brom. I had to do a quiz about PNE to be allowed to get a ticket and obviously failed. I don’t know whether they always do that or whether it was my Midlands accent making them think I was an away fan. I got a mate who was a fan of theirs to book it for me. Nice change to go to a game in the sun and not really give a shit about who won.

Can you inagine if a blue nose had to do that to get a ticket in our home end? They'd piss the quiz easily.

I thought that when we play the “big” clubs - Liverpool and Man United - to get a home ticket you have to be a member and have a record of attending/buying a ticket for at least one other home game? Could be wrong

I have had membership of Reading FC for years. It's free, and doesn't have to be renewed.

Still no news of ST prices for next season.
I'm guessing 2 tier Season Tickets if we get Champions league.



Missed the early bird window anyway.

Club are only waiting on us to finish 4th. On top of the extra money from the CL, they’ll then think that shafting the fans for another 15% increase in season ticket prices will be more than justified, in their minds anyway.

It is also possible that they could include the 4 CL games as option for a very reasonable price if we qualify.

That's what I think they will do

Premier ST
Premier+CL ... ,+£200

Season Tickets anything from £700 - £1200
