They at least learnt from the debacle of the Everton pricing which resulted in our lowest home attendance for many years.It will be premier league prices for CL for sure given it's pretty certain we'll be getting two elite CL teams at VP with how they're re-configuring the competition so demand will be ridiculous.

I could not think of a good business reason why they wouldn’t do it.
It doesn't mean they'll take your seats though. They should if they want it to sell better, but if it's the same model as the Terrace View then they'll just hold empty seats back elsewhere in the stand.

I didn’t realise that was how it worked with the terrace viewI think the only seats they took for the TV were some in the Holte lower to create a small accessible deck in front of the viewing window. The rest they just use spare seats dotted throughout the Holte, mostly at the back. I reckon there's enough good non season ticket seats in the DE for it to work better in the DE.

If you have a ST, you are guaranteed to get a CL ticket, why would you want to pay those up front? All ST tickets are discounted.They don’t need to encourage new season ticket holders and they don’t need to encourage european game take-up, all they’d be doing is reducing gate receipts to get the money in earlier.By incorporating CL games into it you’re not going to sell any more season ticks or champions league tickets than you were going to anyway, but you are giving people waivering, or with budget restrictions, or who can’t do midweek games a reason not to buy one.Yes, I do think improving cashflow is good business. But it’s not this businesses problem, is it? Generating more revenue is. So no, sacrificing revenue for improved cashflow isn’t great business here.But the point was you saying you couldn’t think of a single business reason not to do it, not that I didn’t think there was any possible business reason to.
An eagle-eyed person on another Villa forum has spotted, that if you go onto the Terrace View webpage, there is a picture of what looks like a Terrace View Mark 2 for the Witton. As someone who sits in that area, my heart has sunk.Image here:https://ibb.co/Tck627jWebpage here:https://www.avfc.co.uk/villa-park/the-terrace-view/match-by-match/

M1 / M2 Blocks Surely that's the wrong end of the ground?That picture is the end above the away fans.TBH, I don't really care if they want to put one there, I'd have thought the actual seats above in the upper Doug closest the away fans must be amongst the last to sell usually?
Considering who was in Villa corporate last night, probably wise not to.
