Had a few texts from people I’ve got to know in there over the years and they’re all a) furious and b) not renewing £60K nearly for a table of four. Jesus. It's an enormous price rise - there was no indication this was coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'll start charging for a place on the list? Wonder if they'll announce it or hide it in a Elmohamady interview with Heck. The shitshow waiting for this lot if Unai stops performing miracles will be a nice silver lining on things actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just under £7K a seat last year, renewal came through today. £14K. Won’t be getting that next year. https://www.chelseafc.com/en/club-chelsea/annual-packages Quote The Executive Club From £13,500 inc VAT That's £500 more than the equivalent price at Chelsea. That's Chelsea in West London. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 3 minutes ago, OutByEaster? said: It's an enormous price rise - there was no indication this was coming? Nope. The only difference is they’ve included all home games, including CL and cup games. So could be 4 extra, could be 10+ extra. I think they were not pleased with the take up in hospitality for the early Conference games, so are sort of forcing people to go now. And they’ve renamed it ‘The Oak Room’. And you get a free home shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, they talked about this and about it being disappointing to see empty areas during the Conference league group games - the solution being make cup games part of the hospitality package. They didn't mention the doubling of prices to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delboy54 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I interpret the phrase as "day tripper" as a person who just wants to experience a premier league game and doesnt care who is playing or where it is or where they sit. I don't really think it is being used to describe the fan who cannot afford a ST and can only go if they belong to the membership scheme or get a ticket via general admission. Mind you, the "day tripper" could easily become the new regular Villa supporter .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of clubs charge you for being on a waiting list, even Ipswich Town do that. Other clubs such as Arsenal have different levels of membership I.e. gold, silver and bronze with corresponding price levels. But ssshhhh,.........don't let on to Heck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the maths on The Cells option working on the assumption that there would be some food and drink thrown in. To find out that there are no complimentary offerings is nuts. What are you actually paying a premium for? A nicer concourse? I would be amazed if these sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they were always cheaper seats. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't mention the doubling of prices to be fair. That was always the problem with the original corporate area in the Trinity. We would look over from the Scottish Stand at a sparsely populated corporate space, when the rest of the ground was near enough packed. Whilst I appreciate the club needs to look at ways of increasing revenue, there is always the danger that increasing corporate areas, at the same time as increasing corporate prices, will lead to more empty corporate areas. The demand for seats was clearly there last season, but that was at last season's price structure, when we could often have filled a 60,000 stadium. The 5% increase (although less than had been feared), would still not have been easy for everyone to manage this season and I wonder if enough potential new season ticket holders are out there, that would be able to meet these new corporate prices and to avoid the club having sections of the ground unused.

mrchnry Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Well, going into my 4th season on the waiting list and only potentially having 2 seasons left to go down Villa Park I decided to get a terrace view ticket. You have to admire how quickly the owners have created a massive demand. Yes, it's expensive, but you can't want to compete with arsenal and Liverpool and then moan that tickets cost more than Wolves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I think they have forgotten we are in one of the poorest areas in England. Even businesses won't renew as they are struggling locally. If Unai fails and the team drops off the club are in for a rude awakening with all this. I get competing, but at the cost of driving away how many first? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
