That would make the 41k attendance correct then.

Turning out to be a complete fiasco regarding the tickets. Villa/Heck have lost a lot of faith from long term supporters like me and, will be difficult for the club to turn this around. £35 would have been about right for this Bologna match. Good luck to whoever has got my seat for tonight for the bargain price of £97!! They will be right pissed off when they find out others have paid £25 or thereabouts!

Not sure about £35. They can charge more than that without pricing people out.

Same prices as Cat B prem game like Bournemouth on Saturday would've been right for Bologna, 40-50 quid in all parts of the ground.

The club can and will get away with it this season but if we're in CL again next year it won't have quite the same pull as this season unless we draw Real Madrid and Barca at home (or one of the Milan clubs).

We could easily have three Bologna type matches at VP, maybe four. How well would the games have sold if the fixture list had flipped and we'd have Leipzig, Monaco, Brugge and Young Boys as the four home games.

One thing we can't do is play this trick v Celtic and Juventus as with the demand from their fanbase there will be away fans in home ends and all the security headaches that would bring so if the GA + dosen't sell it needs to remain unsold rather than being shifted at knock down prices.

Manchester United had the same problem last season with 2000 away fans in home sections, believe it was season ticket holders selling them on

No it wasn’t.

It was United selling hospitality tickets to people who were blatantly Galatasaray fans and bundling in seats in the home end.

Their fans were understandably upset*



*’GOOD, you ******.

I know one of those Galatasaray fans through work and he absolutely hated the evening - teenage Mancs giving him the finger r across the throat gestures during the game once they worked out he was Turkish. He bought the ticket off a business contact in Manchester. He thought Manchester was a dump too.

I agree that we will potentially have similar problems with Celtic and Juventus tickets fans buying tickets if we keep the same inflated prices as the two home games thus far

I'm not sure it was the club selling them. There are plenty of examples in other sports of agencies buying up tickets then having to sell them at a loss.

You can find them on Travelzoo. We had 6 all seated together for the Boxing Day game. "Basic hospitality"- Segregated concourse area. Pie and a beer. And padded seat.

Apparently, they may keep these bargain prices the same for the knock out stages of the CL. Great for me as I’ll be keeping the money safely in my wallet!!

Of course they will. What have you the impression that they’d lower them? If anything, they’ll be increasing them.

[Clampy]

They've said they 'hope not too' increase them which sounds ominous.

[Brend'Watkins]

Why would they need to "hope" when it's all fully in their control?  They either will or they won't.  We can hope that they decrease them though.

They’ll be waiting to see who we get.

This is it.  The prices won't increase provided we get some shit team that isn't likely to sell out at a higher price point.  But let's face it, if we get to the last 16 of the Champions League & beyond, it will almost certainly sell out, even at £100+ a ticket.

Perhaps Tyrone had been testing a few before kick off last night

[Villan82]

If we don't, soon, snap out of our mini slump on the pitch, all the commercial nonsense is going to start to grate even more.

The company Nemiroff have produced a limited edition batch celebrating Ty's involvement last night, called Gerrimoff.
