The Terrace View - Holte End Upper

[astonvilla82]

Saw an excellent post on Twitter earlier, something along the lines of

There are 469 seats available for tonight.  1 is £30.00 and the other 468 are £96.00.  The fucking clowns.

I'd be entirely in agreement with Fred here - it's a disgrace.  We have 460 good seats that have been held back from membership-paying fans in the hope of selling them at over 3 x face value of a match ticket.

Somebody should be sacked.

There are still people out there after seats.  That's up to £14k of income they have pissed up the wall, plus any possible add-on spend.

Unless I am missing something they are only 3 tickets left according to the Villa website?

Click The Terrace View button - it then says 460 available

And the club needs to be held accountable for it, considering it says tickets are in the region of £30, not £78_£96 as for the terrace view

No general sale available, 468 Terrace View.

The proof in the pudding as they say is if it's a commercial success

The commercial faux pas in all this is: they need to sort out the basic service - general toilets, bar service, product-quality, etc - before trying to upsell at such hiked prices.
I despair of the off-field management (take a look at the commercial revenues over the last 25 years to get a sense of how far behind we are vs other clubs).

In a game like this is not a surprise but I would imagine the club is banking on those tickets being sold for most PL games, and a good proportion of Cup games for far more than they were sold for last season.

Now 457 seats. So in 40 minutes they have shifted 11 overpriced seats.

My maths is not brilliant, but selling all of them at less money, makes commercial sense, fills the ground, and suggests an interest in the fans (or 'consumer base' to use the language). UTV

First home European game in 13 years, and the Holte won't be full. That's depressing.

[VillaTim]

 They'll be able to swing a cat in terrace view whereas the hoi polioi on the holte won't be able to take a piss or get a drink . Scandalous

[kippaxvilla2]

Can you buy a Terrace View tonight at the ticket office?

[VillaTim]

Cracking night in Terrace View, the Carling was almost chilled, the programme was uncreased and the lanyard will look good in the office tomorrow. £115 well invested . What was the score btw ?

[Axl Rose]

Moist? Oh dear

[London Villan]

Due to various things I had to grab something to eat at the ground last night. The hotdog I had outside was fine, but I fancied some chips in the ground.
£4.50 for a small tray
£5.50 with curry sauce

Is it me or is that excessive? I stayed hungry and bought some for a couple of quid after the match.

Yes, as is £5.25 for a bloody pie

[Des Little]

I'd have to be clinically starving to buy any food in the ground, if I could stay alive in the queue that is. 

[frank black]

I expect they don’t want people clogging up the queues for a cheap portion of chips. So whack the price right up, reduce the queues and plenty of people will still pay up…. Sadly

It’s definitely far better to get your food elsewhere, that’s for sure.
