Hotel prices are increasingly more extortionate.

Mine for Man U was showing £555.15 for one room for two people and two tickets for the game. Then £318.25 for a room for one person and one ticket.

If my maths skills have not deserted me, that's £236.90 per ticket and £81.35 for the room.


And ticket touting is illegal.

Only if you do it without authorisation from the club involved.

For what it's worth I paid a company £600 to take me to El Claisico at the Bernabeau in 2014. 

For £600 I got return flights, 3 nights in a City Centre hotel in Madrid and tickets for the match right on the half way line.

I didn't think that was too bad as a bucket list match ticked off.

That's £790 in today's money, still not bad.

They deserve to suffer as much as Villa fans. ;)

I am sure a couple of years ago I read some company had become Official Diesel Engine Partner to Manchester United.

Castrol is still the Premier League’s official “engine oil partner”

Do people still buy engine oil? My car doesn't even have a dipstick

I didn't think my car had one either, tbh, but then someone told me it was behind the wheel.  ;D

The issue I have with it is how do they stop away fans buying them?

How does any team who offer a similar deal stop away fans buying a ticket?

The ticket price is pretty irrelevant if you’re coming long distance I reckon. Me and the missus paid about £500 for tickets to see Anthony Joshua lose in Madison Square Garden, but as we spent about 3 grand on the five day trip and did loads of other stuff, the price of the fight tickets didn’t seem that important.

If he was on at Villa Park I think it would be more price sensitive for me.

Purely based on squad and signings I believe we will want to serve the Spanish supporters, whose numbers of interest has likely grown since Emery's reign, as well as the North and South American peoples interest.
It could appears that Joe Gauci, an Australian, is part signed for market reason and it seems a region we are looking to tap into.
