Sad, I think, that success in modern football equates to the death pf the traditional fan.  Bayern are often touted as a beacon, the ticket prices are super low for fans.  In the grand scheme of revenue match day tickets are a tiny fraction of revenue.  As long as we are able to continue to get tickets at affordable prices we are ok.  The ground expansion will help with this, I hope.  If not, well, time to start checking out the price of prawns I guess.
The Bayern Munich ticket prices are not cheap, this is a myth.

Those few cheap standing tickets are held hostage by the Ultras groups with Season Tickets. The average fan isn't getting them. The other 95% of tickets are as expensive as our equivalents, if not more expensive.

I’ve got two grandkids, who’ve started to express an interest in going to a match.Have to say when I was their age my old man just took me down and paid two bob to get me in. Those days are long gone. But it’s important I get them down, they’re the next generation of supporters. Getting 3 seats together is almost an impossibility these days. So it looks like I might have to bite the bullet and fork out to let them experience Villa Park. It’s just the way it is. Anybody booing my grandkids had better tread carefully if I see them later though.

Villa are offering 20% discount on membership at the moment (as part of “Claret Friday”!?!?). Apart from on the Holte, it’s easy enough to get 3 seats together for members for all games. Don’t fall for the club’s shameless promotion of Terrace View or Lower Grounds, there are other, cheaper ways of getting your family to see the games. Good luck!

If you do this you will get members packs for you and the kids too. The water bottle for adult claret members was quite nice!

I have found that as with kids you can usually get tickets in the upper Witton near The Holte End & it’s a great combination of them being able to see, and being able to soak up the atmosphere
