They could, they're definitely interesting, guessing they've found what they consider a sweet spot But again same as city they've been in this competition for years and know what they can do, it's a shame to say it but we almost look like we're seeing this as a one off opportunity and creaming it while we can If we become CL regulars I doubt we will remain so expensive as the demand will drop eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicho Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 While I think the prices are a disgrace its virtually impossible to get a ticket if you are not a season ticket holder so supply and demand I suppose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tickets are slightly more expensive than a Category A and you have no idea if you can even get a ticket anyway such will be the demand. So paying £17.50 more for a zone 3 game to see Bayern Munich instead of say Wolves? For ST holders it doesn't seem a coincidence that the average price is essentially the same as a Category A price. The vast majority of people attending will be season ticket holders paying what was asked for in not being more expensive than a Category A game. All seems reasonable imo Cool, how many will you be attending? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's true they no longer accept refunds you won't see the odd seat here and there either. Edit: For Bayern game that is. Others will be interesting to see. Mmm … so ill need to get onto the membership scheme now… at the moment i just have a general account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Paddywhack Posted September 5 Popular Post Share Posted September 5 Imagine being confused by people complaining about the fact it's nearly £400 for 4 football matches. I can't stand the "you don't have to go, no ones forcing you" line either. This is the football club that I've been following my whole life, season ticket holder for nearly 20 years and I'm really close to being priced out. "iT's OpTiOnAl, yOu KnOw?" Get rammed. Boils my piss. 22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All seems reasonable imo £70 for a Wolves ticket is outrageous as well though. It's not like that is a reasonable fee. Have you set up your standing order yet? To just send the club £200-500 a month. If you can get on and do that, then you can crack on and lecture people about prices. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted September 5 VT Supporter Share Posted September 5 Seems odd that Liverpool can have a wider gap between cheapest and most expensive tickets and still make a **** ton of money and we can't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Okonokos Posted September 5 Popular Post Share Posted September 5 1 hour ago, CVByrne said: Finally got to the underlying numbers. So if you are a season ticket holder you are able to get Champions League games in 1888, Zone 1, Zone 2 and Zone 3 for essentially the same price as a Category A Premier League ticket is priced at. The average ticket price (1,2,3 and 1888) for Cat A is £77.50 and the Average for ST CL game is £77.50 If you've got a zone 4 season ticket you will be paying £15 more than an equivalent Category A ticket. So this is what the uproar is about? Are people actually serious? I'm missing something surely. What issue do the vast majority of ST holders have here? If you are not a season ticket holder the average across the categories is £18 higher for a CL Vs a Category A. My season ticket cost me £818 for 19 games. That's approximately £43 per game. I'm now being told it will cost £316 for 4 games; £79 per game. You ask why there is uproar? Are you having a laugh? 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeroesAndVillans Posted September 5 VT Supporter Share Posted September 5 Well. It was obviously gonna be nearly impossible for me to go but now it is totally impossible as I think I'll be priced out when you factor in travel, hotel, food etc. I am very upset to be honest. Hope everyone who does go has the experience of a lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 2 hours ago, jimmygreaves said: Bollox, the increase in gate receipts will end up being a few million. The same amount clubs haggle over during the transfer of a middling full back. Match day income isn't where massive gains are to be made. Never said it was? But by all accounts we were only a few million away from having a points deduction in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 1 hour ago, blunther said: A few people are saying 'well it's not much more than wolves' completely missing the point that £70+ for a ticket to see Villa vs Wolves is in itself **** obscene. But the Supporters Trust asked that the CL games be capped at the price of Category A tickets. The club have essentially done that for Season Ticket Holders and on average it's £18 more expensive than Category A for non season ticket holders. I'm sorry but getting to see Villa play in CL game at home is a much bigger game than any Premier League game. Wolves or United is irrelevant. It's Bayern and Juventus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've put the " " on the wrong word there. It should be on confusing. No one is confused. They're gaslighting. A few really unpleasant, pompous people are taking it upon themselves to tell others they should be coughing up to give Villa money they don't need. People who don't go to Villa Park frequently. People who have had season tickets bought for them. People who, genuinely, use phrases like "woke lefties".

CarryOnVilla Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 how many of the hardest complainers to the tickets price are still going to buy them? If you think it’s financially and morally wrong, why would you still buy them? You make good arguments, yet it feels wishy washy when the reality is you’re buying them regardless of what you’re saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
