Apparently some season ticket holders are being moved seats for the Bayern game too...

You can still get tickets for Andre Rieu at Wembley Arena for £133. Better hurry though, it's almost sold out.

I haven’t been to VP for 2 years now and was determined to make it for one of these games. It’s a kick in the teeth. However, we demand that the club competes on the pitch. We expect big name signings on commensurate salaries. Some of us even desire a bigger stadium to support all of that. This pricing is absolutely necessary to afford those things. It’s shit and it hurts and I sometimes hate the modern game. But they simply must generate more cash to breach that ceiling above us. We can’t have it both ways, unfortunately. Is it fuck.Agreed. An extra £20 a ticket is less than £1m per match - absolutely piss all in the scheme of things.It is piss all in the scheme of things but me and MDC Jnr plan to sell back our seats to some of our home league fixtures to cover the inflated costs of CL tickets. Villa will be able to resell those seats at full price. MDC Jnr is 13 so they will sell that for whatever full price is for Lower Witton these days. I wouldn't be surprised if a few ST holders with kids do this so potentially the club will be able to improve their Income Per Seat ratio (I made that up but I expect there is something like that they look at). A word of warning with this plan. Villa no longer resell seats until every last GA and GA+ seat has been sold, which last season didn’t happen much, if at all.

The real fallout of all of this is going to come over the next 3 or 4 months. Like others, we have waited long enough to see Villa at the top table so are going to do all we can to go to those games - we'll be knocking a load of others on the head though to pay for it. If others are in the same boat then good luck to Heck in getting day trippers through the door for Southampton, Bournemouth, Brentford, Ipswich et al - the best Villa team in years is going to be playing those games in front of sub 36k crowds I reckon, and with his pisstaking GA+ seats all but empty.

If the seats are contiguous then 644 out of 1,665 are reserved for corporate and GA+.
