Just for reference from Deloitte if it's been a while since posted. Villa are just below the lowest on here. It is dramatic how matchday revenues offer so few opportunities to bring in new money. Commercial revs are obviously the pot of gold.

That depends. Spurs bring in £110 million per season from matchday revenue.   That’s like 50% of our total revenue for last season.

almost certainly the leaked logo was done in house. 

In Heck’s house by his 7 year old kid?

Apparently they have binned their rule of only signing players under 25 years old.  They will be adding some experience this summer.

Announced figures are normally tickets sold so include season tickets and match day tickets which are not taken up on the day, because people can't make it or whatever.

I wonder if you can have attendance figures higher than the stadium capacity?  

Villa sell all the tickets which includes season tickets. Some seats then get resold through the club, so the club has sold that seat/ticket again. 
They could count it each time they sell it if they wanted.

Not yet.   Them and Death Claws being saved for season 2.

Sort of but you can guarantee they will get those 6pts from the Burnley and Sheff Utd games and make up the goal difference too so we really do need to get more points on the board before we run out of games to do so. 

Yep, we can assume that Spurs beat Burnley and Sheffield so they are equal points and equal GD.

Villa play Brighton and Crystal Palace. Spurs play Arsenal and Man City. We both play Chelsea and Liverpool.

It comes down to whoever does better in these 4 matches.

42,640 is listed as our official capacity. So we sold out and everybody turned up vs Wolves.

The rest of the time will be down to a couple of things

• The Terrace View tickets
• People not showing up
• Away Allocations - sometimes seats are blocked from Away purchase but also not able to be sold to Home fans

I don't think this matters does it - If a seat is sold it counts towards attendance even if they don't turn up.

Apparently we still have the 8th highest attendance in the league this season with an average PL attendance of 41,765.

Behind Man Utd, West Ham, Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City and Newcastle (in order).

So what is our official stadium capacity?  I thought we sold out a few times, but none of our highest attendances come to the same number. 

Wolves was our highest with 42,640 which was 200 higher than our second highest attendance. How come we had a higher capacity for that particular game?

There are still tickets available for this match. Mostly singles, but also a pair here and there like in B4 for £80 a ticket.

If access to and from the stadium was fixed and ticket prices were appropriate we'd fill 60K every week. Charge £20 for match tickets and see how much demand skyrockets. Attendances are all relative. Our model will be to reduce affordable tickets and get 45K tourist fans in the door spending on merch. 

I think we'd fill 60k each week even if we charged £35 for Cat B and £50 for Cat A games.

Even if only 25% of the almost 40,000 season ticket waiting actually took up a season ticket, that takes our average attendance from 41k to 51k. 

Add in 2,000 extra corporate seats, and that only leaves an extra 7,000 tickets on general sale for us to fill a 60k stadium every match.

Anyone else really excited about this game already?

Apropos of nothing, just advising that there is a huge Villa contingent assembling in Taupo, New Zealand to watch the game in a pub at 7am. We're coming from all corners of the country and taking over an entire town! Most are there for the weekend, including a pub crawl tomorrow evening. I'm setting off tomorrow morning, can't wait.

Post a couple of pics please

We've now won 26 of our last 33 games at Villa Park, in all competitions. 

So 80% of the time that a team comes to Villa, they leave with nothing. 

That is very impressive. When does the 33 games start?

I wonder what it is since Emery joined Villa?

For example I just went on and there was 1 available! 

There are 12 seats now available, including 2 seats together in R1 North stand.  And they are definitely for sale as i added them to my basket and went all the way to the payment page.

After a convoluted buying process I've managed to get a couple of TV tickets. Very expensive mistake.

Still, I suppose I can buy a few prawn sandwiches.

No need to buy - the prawns are included!

We need a bigger ground to ease the pressure on ticket prices and allow space for more prawn sandwiches to be served, its that simple.

There were 12 Terrace View tickets unsold for the last match, therefore the obvious conclusion is that there are no more Villa fans in existence who want to watch a Villa match.  

We actually need a smaller ground with 12 less seats.

So I seem to have ended up with 2 tickets with restricted view and 2 tickets with “restricted legroom”.  How bad are these tickets in block B6 in Lower Trinity corner going to be?

After god knows how many unsuccessful attempts I had to sell my soul to the devil and get Lower Grounds tickets. I’ll just have to drink 10 pints beforehand to get my money’s worth. 

Great way to sell the Lower Grounds packages.  Just break the website so no-one can buy normal tickets!

Surely they're not gonna release prices before we find out where we finish - Whether we like it or not as fans, finishing in Champs League probably warrants a much bigger hike on price, whether we get any extra benefits or not? I'd be amazed if we hear anything before the final position is confirmed.

I don’t see why CL qualification makes a difference to PL pricing.  Surely that would just increase the price of CL tickets.

Reckon half the ground will be joining you, should make for great atmosphere, reckon the fans will push us through this to get a decent result. UTV.

Great idea on the coach really set the atmosphere up on Sunday, players looked well happy, like a cup final   

Though I guess we can’t do it too often or it loses its motivational aspect, both for players and fans.

I think (might well be wrong) this would take us to over 4,000 hospitality seats on matchdays - which in terms of income probably means that Hospitality won't be far off bringing in the same amount of money as season ticket sales.

How many do we currently have?  

If we get to 4,000 hospitality, then £1m from corporate and £1m from GA tickets per match? £32m matchday revenue plus food/drink of around £5m.

Finally got 4 tickets!  No idea where in the stadium they are lol.

I've managed to get back in the queue

No idea what will happen at the end of the queue

Another queue lol. 

I actually managed to choose some tickets, but it won't let me allocate Fan ID's (the drop down box is missing) so no way to continue to next page to buy them lol.

Still dead website. Just either a spinning ball or occasionally a maintenance message.
