AndyM3000 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 As someone point out you could be paying £1.5k-2k+ for a season ticket and be sat next to someone who has only paid £500-600. Cut off all new STs to anyone on the list and cram in random corporate seating, which isn't even that given they have decided to put some in the lower north next to the away fans with the worst view possible. This is just Heck effectively saying to the waitlist, if anyone wants to pay over the odds for a ticket you jump the queue and take it over these poor people who are miles ahead of you. How many more years now until regular folk on the waitlist get a chance at tickets? He will just cram more hospitality in at any chance he gets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can get a pint and some food, sit down and enjoy them whilst chatting to your mate, then go to the toilet and be able to wash and dry your hands. It's a value thing. You might see value in it and some won't. You could say the same about gyms. Bloke next to you pays £25 a month for puregym and you pay £120 for David Lloyd. You're lifting the same weight but the experience is different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted June 11 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11 I get they are trying to milk the cash cow but those seats in the Lower North Stand will be a hard cell On a serious note it's a crap view and cramped seat for £1550 a season or £150 a game I see empty seats my lord apart from the bigger games. Bournemouth on a Wednesday night no chance of flogging every GA+ seat in the stadium. I hope they have a plan B for these type of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted June 11 Administrator Share Posted June 11 11 hours ago, Risso said: 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. Presumably a shirt that you can't actually wear when using the facility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Welcome, I'll see you in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted June 11 Author Moderator Share Posted June 11 Well, they sent him to make money, not friends, and he's certainly listened. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Well the cells appear to be selling quickly, don't judge me but it still seems a lot of cash to not walk in piss. Surely that level should be standard. Plus no drinks or food included. I guess it don't matter in the grand scheme of things, if folk wanna pay then that's up to them. But £82 to watch Villa v Southampton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted June 11 Author Moderator Share Posted June 11 How much additional income do we reckon this is all going to bring in? Eight figures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must be up to 5,000 seats for that, at an average of £2,500? That would be £12.5m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Or we could just sell Dendoncker for £5m! I get the need to increase revenue and I am all for it. However, I am worried that more and more regular match goers will be pushed out/costed out. They also need to improve the catering and facilities for regular match goers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 The £14K for a table in the 'Oak Room' is actually £14K plus VAT, so a table for 4 is now £67,200. Good luck shifting them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. If you've paid 1.5k and they've paid 600, then you've both paid 600 for the seat, but you've paid an extra 900 for all the "plus" stuff that comes with it Edit: reading the last page properly I may have misunderstood what the offering on those seats are, so ignore me!

On the webpage for the cells, it said there were approximately 300 tickets on sale, so if only 30 left, it’s shows that it was a good decision and supply and demand is really hitting through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 If I was starting out trying to watch Villa I think I would have given up on the idea of getting a season ticket, and watch most of the games on the telly box with a couple of visits to Villa Park and some non league live footy thrown in. By doing this I fear we are making problems down the road with an increasingly ageing season ticket rump and a mass of corporate- where will the next generation of regular match dayers come from? Or do we care about this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
