Season Tickets

It seems that L8 has been attached to L7 now so we've all been shunted along by about 20 seats or so (in location terms). How on earth did they think that they couldn't communicate this before now???

In the propaganda piece he did with Gabby, Heck made a big deal about leaving the Holte End alone. I can’t believe what I’m hearing has happened to peoples seats and why they weren’t even counted in the displaced 900.

From the comparison on the new and old designs, they have removed the "kinks" from when you first enter the lower Holte and decide to go up or down. So the seats might be almost in the same geographical location bar a metre or two, but the stands aisles are what has actually been moved.

I suspect we are all awaiting pictures of what they have done to confirm that.

It has just never been mentioned before the email on Saturday which I find incredible. I know we've had it easy after hearing people being split up etc, but the new location of "my" seat just fills me with such anxiety, I feel that Villa just don't actually give a shit.

I am pissed off about the change in our seat position, but even more pissed off by the fact that they didn’t think it was important enough to tell us, or to offer us a priority relocation.
They just don’t give a shit.

Heck could have mentioned it in that soft chat with gabby in which he spent 20 minutes avoiding any discussion of the North stand and focussed on repeatedly telling us the Holte would remain as it was - something there has been absolutely no suggestion of any redevelopment of since it went up 30 years ago.

I remember people being moved from where I used to sit, in P6:3D cameras, would you believe?
By all accounts, the club were pretty good in dealing with it.
What's happening now doesn't sound right to me.

As per the link exigo and Jane has posted, In not sure this is completely right. So in me and the kids situation, L2 row MM where we have for years has widened to encompass what would of been previously some of L1. L1 has as a result got smaller, but we have been moved into L1. We are going to be still on the same row, MM, but i just dont see how we will be occupying the same physical space. Our previous seats were about 8-10 seats in from the last set of stairs in the  holte lower on the right facing the pitch, the new seats look about 5 or 6 seats in from the stairs in the other direction. Thats nearly 20 odd seats space towards the corner of the Holte that I wouldn’t choose to sit in.

I’m not into the conspiracy thing normally and I get that the rail seating is being tried in the extremities of the lower holte, but I also can’t help thinking both ourselves and Jane and  Amfy in L7 are in the lower price zone. Presumably if we don’t like this we can  ask to move to a higher price zone in July.

Like Jane and Amfy have said, being sent an email a day before season ticket renewal, on a Sunday afternoon is garbage. The first chance ill get to call the club is tomorrow, I’m not sure why im bothering as bound to get through to somebody who won’t know anything or have the power to change anything, but I want to at least have the conversation.

5 am and my so called new seat position still causing me major migraine issues

My phone pinged as it turned midnight and to my birthday here in Greece. It was Jane with the seat map. This morning, my phone which is on ‘Do Not Disturb’ until 10am, started pinging at 8am with birthday messages, despite it only being 6am in the UK. Then, the cleaners arrived next door and had a loud argument for 20 minutes, intermittently setting off the light sensor outside and lighting up our room.
It’s like some weird sci-fi reset kicked in as I turned 60 and turned everything to shit!

Happy birthday, Amfy!

[Dogtanian]

Happy Birthday! I’m sure the rest of the year will be better.

I hope your day gets better and you have a great day.

Have a great 60th Amfy - it is my 60th in a few weeks time - where have all those years gone?
