Chris Heck - President of Business Operations

[frank black]

I'm not sure how it's been deployed so far, but has anybody lost their seat to GA+? They do seem to be more stuck out of the way in the wings than front and centre

I think they left it too late to turf out any of the existing season ticket holders. So they are currently in the spare parts.
I suspect they will now start to look at those in the prime spots, as an opportunity to increase revenue (sadly, it makes sense). I’m expecting to be one of those that receive the email and being offered a wonderful opportunity to relocate or cough up a fortune.

I see the news about Pre season tour in America so I would think Heck is looking to grow this market.
Are we to do a thread on pre season as it's now confirmed
USA 🇺🇸

Columbus Crew (Ohio) - July 27
RB Leipzig (New York) - July 31
Club America (Chicago) - August 3

It's here mate: https://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=64693.0

Where is this without clicking on it ? I can't see it  on main service user board ?
I clicked and wrote on it but it's not showing up on the main service user board

They're pre-season games so it shouldn't be difficult to guess that it might have been posted in the thread about pre-season.

Give it a rest guys.

He loves the Villa like the rest of us.

I can't regard it as a clique as that suggests it's a small close-knit group of people who do not readily allow others to join them.
That is not the case as it's a league that determines who finish in the table.

If this isn’t proof that there’s no neuro-divergence here, just a big old wind up, then I don’t know what is.

My feelings exactly.

I've wondered if that area right underneath the WL stand roof could be utilised, around where the TV cameras are sited.

I always thought the cameras were in the gantry and then realised they are actually in the stand,whrre the commentators also sit.

[jon collett]

When the stand was first built they were in the gantry but it was too high so they constructed a platform at the back of the stand.

Funnily enough my brother suggested something like that only last week, akin to the Olympic Gallery at the old Wembley.

"We have grand plans to add well over 1,000, closer to 1,500 seats this summer, that are premium seating in products at Villa Park."

Add or take away from the standard seating offering?

Premium seating looking to get the movie stars and musicians in at that games.

I’m hearing Mick Fleetwood and Michael Douglas have just bought season tickets.

Well I wouldn't be surprised if Taylor Swift will be involved in some capacity at Villa Park in the following years and seasons.
Not season tickets but celebrity exposure be it invite or a concert

I fucking hope not

You and her got bad blood?

He's probably concerned about her reputation

[VillaTim]

U2 playing Villa Park would be the holy grail .
Sunday Bloody Super Sunday .

Wait, so we’re staying at VP now and it’s going to be rebuilt? What? I can’t speak for others but I’m not sure people want a “grander” experience, whatever that means, they just want things to work properly.

And this whole tiers of payment = better experiences feels rife these days, in so many different contexts. No ads on Prime? Pay us more money. Want quicker delivery and no service fees on Uber eats? Pay us more money. Want to get a pint at HT at VP? Pay us more money. On and on it goes.

I agree with you Percy. I hope this is not considered as stalking.  :-/

In Sweden, most residential doors open outwards for security reasons

1000-1500 seats. ,  where ?  these aren’t extra these are instead of

[London Villan]

Instead of by the sounds of things…

They were talking in terms of extra seats when they were not doing the North Stand .  I hope someone asks them about that
