Well I would have contributed to that but I’m still saving for my Bayern ticket.

This was taking too far to overprice and it's suitable to recognise the error though seems club made to think and act to stop critics rather they think themselves that they are pricing out. Where's the thought to inclusivity.
What is going on at the club ? Are they that desperate to drain any loyal supporter they can?

It’s a good thing that the club have retracted the price rise but who thought this was a good idea in the first place?
I’m appalled that anyone could even think about hitting disabled supporters this way. The most vulnerable people in our fan base and society and they really shouldn’t have to pay anything for a space.

Exactly, it speaks volumes when the supporters have to step in to be the moral compass for the club. Heck is all about the relentless pursuit of money and doesn't care who he screws to reach his goals.

Nothing more inclusive than ripping everyone off

Well yes, but it would have got very interesting how they'd have responded to being accused of going against/?breaching their their own safeguarding principles/standards  if they hadn't backtracked within 7 hours of the John Townley article.
Credit to him not protecting his relationship with the Villa, not the club.

Didnt these price increases come in before the Arsenal game?
