Aston Villa v Bologna - Europa League Matchday 1 pre match chat

[Skerra]

Would have gone but having felt a bit pissed off about the clubs attitude to fans last season I really can't be bothered and probably won't bother this season.

Same as me. Really pissed off with their CL prices last season. This season, they’re having a laugh with their pricing of mainly Championship opponents for the home matches. Tops should have been £40.

Still poor to have so many unsold tickets...

Doesn't help that it's the opening week of MAFS UK.

Excellent heads up. Thanks BV.

I’m still going though.

£15 cheaper, they would have sold out and got money from food / beer etc

They've got this wrong in.my opinion.  Prices should have been closer to the Conference League ones a couple of seasons ago.

Will never comprehend anybody who can afford to go choosing not to.

I was only going to watch the first episode, but the women in this series are so utterly appalling (apart from an Indian girl who's nice if a bit insecure) that it's almost educational.

Being able to afford it and thinking it's worth it are two totally different things.

If we get to the final these same fans will be begging for tickets

It is their choice whether to go or not, I will be there tonight but I am an idiot - so my wife tells me!!!

[RamboandBruno]

It was £20 for my 15 year old and £45 for me, for my normal holte end seats. I know most seats in the ground are more expensive than mine, but for a European game i really can’t complain.
If there is only 25-30k in the ground tonight, given the CL tickets against the same opposition were generally far more expensive, I’d honestly think its more to do with a poor first five games of the season, which says something else.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

I've paid slightly over £160 for all 4 games with a seat in a different side of the ground for each game. That is OAP prices with the 20% discount. For someone who used to go all over Europe but was priced out of the CL games last season, I'm looking forward to this. 

[PaulWinch again]

I think it’s a personal choice, I wouldn’t criticise for choosing to go or choosing not to. Hopefully those that do will be rewarded with a proper performance finally.

[Clampy]

It's up to fans what they do with their hard earned money.

[cdbearsfan]

"Hard earned", it's like you don't know me at all.

[eamonn]

Yeah, they're all posting on H&V and TikTok all day, nowt hard-earned about it.

Spuds last night, cheaper tickets than ours it seems. https://x.com/N17_SAUL/status/1970919908948209993?t=SoXLwQx1ozE6YqKiHETJwg&s=19

They were playing Doncaster - what was they expecting 60K?
