Pongo Waring Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Ticket prices for the UCL are outrageous and disgraceful. When can I buy one? Take my money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what people expect, it’s ridiculous, but everything is ridiculous now. And yet other clubs pricing structures are far less ridiculous than ours. We are based in one of the poorest regions in the UK and have been subjected to price increases way above the rate of inflation for the past few years. As others have said, the good work Emery is doing will only paper over the cracks for so long. If he leaves in a few years and we **** up the next managerial appointment, things could get very ugly down the line IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 They are not cheap. But If you can afford to watch us at Monaco, your living the dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 It's mad how different the pricing strategy was for the conference league- that was charged way below a premier league game. And some of the clubs we played are of a similar level to cl teams in terms of prestige and support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect Heck's business model would see this as a good thing A sell out is a sell out. That’s how he’ll see it. Context of who’s buying the tickets doesn’t matter to him. Nor would it to the owners. the club wants/needs to make money to be competitive. If it can’t get the cash with commercial deals, it will get it from the fans. STH or “day trippers” That’s the cold hand of being successful, PSR and capitalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanna be a big club, this is the way it's gonna go unfortunately. We were doing things a certain way and it took us from mid table championship to 7th in Premier league. Since we got to 7th there has been a big change in approach, and it is sickening Edited September 4 by Captain_Townsend 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully understand that, but it's incredibly short sighted in that we are in no way guaranteed to carry on with our current trajectory and are as likely to finish 8th this season as we are to re-qualify for the CL. It really isn't a good idea to alienate and exclude your core market, regardless of the short term gains available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 £1 per minute to see us in the champions league for the first time in my lifetime is a hard sum to swallow but also one I’m more than willing to pay … it could be a once in a generation occurrence and they’ll have no problem selling out IMO… Compared to other entertainment events also it’s not so ridiculous but agree with others who find it distasteful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Why do season ticket holders get a 15% discount? They already get a discount on tickets for the Premier League which is what the season ticket is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted September 4 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4 For some time, I’ve accepted I’m reasonably unlikely to visit Villa Park again, so the cost is only going to bother me so much. The people who are aghast at the prices have my commiserations regardless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it or loathe it the club must rinse every penny they can if you want us to stay 7th and higher - especially when competing against clubs whose countries GDP fund the club. If Lange & Purslow were still here I’d dread to think how we would be financially. It’s modern football economics but sure you’ll find a way to lay the blame solely at Heck without any regard to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 I've posted on it before and will probably do so again - our ticket prices are a disgrace. People can want to nod along and "PSR" it, but the club doesn't need the extra £6m or so. It's a **** disgrace. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted September 4 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4 I think a price drop of £10-15 across the board would have been fair. Feel for anyone who wants to take their kids or whatever to the game but is being priced out. That's an absolute killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 I have rung up the ticket office and have removed myself from the auto cl tickets. Think I will do 2 of them probably given what they are charging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
