Vive_La_Villa Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) I’m sure the number on the site is the amount of waiting list places left rather than number of seats left. Not everyone on the waiting list will buy a seat either. Edit: That doesn’t actually make sense does it?

Rugeley Villa Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Club have said there is a good chance they will sell out in this window. So it seems like there is only around 50 season tickets left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Only way to know is if somebody now eligible to buy one visits the site and sees which seats are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are thousands of seats left all around the ground. Remember we are leaving 8k seats unsold for non season ticket holders . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone got any suggestions for him? He can get to the Everton game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted July 16, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 16, 2019 Quote We’ll have 30,000 Season Ticket holders cheering us on at Villa Park in the Premier League this coming season – after we reached our cap today. It is the first time in the modern era that so many supporters have bought a Season Ticket - which guarantees access to all home top-flight games – and we thank you for that amazing support. The previous high was 27,709, achieved in the 2008/09 campaign. Link 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 16, 2019 Moderator Share Posted July 16, 2019 That's really quite impressive. Even as recently as the last fan group meeting, the club had no plans to enforce a cap - they weren't anticipating this level of support at that point and that's only a few week's back. It'll put pressure on tickets for the rest of the season. We've got 8,000 seats per game to sell and there' a likelihood that once Lions clubs, players, media and giveaways are out of that it'll be nearer 7,500 - that's 142,500 tickets on sale for the whole season. If we sell 1,000 cub memberships, you can drop 5,000 from that total and we're already looking at 135,000. As a season ticket holder, I generally buy three or four tickets a season for friends - I have no idea if that's normal, but if every season ticket holder were to buy two other tickets this season, there we're looking at 75,000 tickets available for non-season ticket holders - that's less than 4,000 a game on average. We're going to see the "Full House" signs up a lot - which is great for the club and a real achievement - time to get the builders in I think. I wonder when they'll open up the waiting list for 2020-21? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 It will be a full house every game. During our relegation season we were selling 7-8k on average to non season ticket holders . That’s when things were really low for us. Optimism is high, so we will eat those non season tickets up. The ground won’t be big enough next season.

terrytini Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 About time ! Next step is to try to get them to keep it full until the end of the games ! ( pet hate !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Once you start announcing waiting lists that only increases demand regardless of how team is doing. Providing we stay up then I think we will be averaging 40k the next few seasons. Extending the ground is inevitable . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 16, 2019 Moderator Share Posted July 16, 2019 I agree Rugely, persuading people to buy season tickets is harder than persuading them to renew - if we have a decent season, there won't be more than a couple of thousand at most that will be available for sale at the start of next season - a reasonable season will see almost all of these renewed and very few new ones available.. It's a brilliant sign for our future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowlersrs Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I honestly think unless ur a claret member your not gonna get a ticket most games this year. Any idea if they cap claret membership too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) I think we should make the away end smaller, Just give them the upper witton and that will release a few hundred more in the corner that's always left empty for segregation with the lower North stand Edited July 16, 2019 by Kingman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
