Who would we change to solidify us?

We don’t like playing Chelsea do we?

I wish we had Moreno right now, because I'd be fine bringing him into midfield like he did for cover on the Zaniolo injury.

Is he out for season or back next week?

Oh is it? I hadn’t heard, that would be great if so. A clear consistency point on where to measure it from, and measure the precise point it’s kicked 

Yeah, it’s like a Hawkeye style AI thing. Works well in Europe already.

It is a good achievement but they are an incredibly bad team so I think as much as anything it shows how poor the bottom of the league has been this year 

If they didn’t get a points deduction they are only 5 points from 8th position.

Those figures sound great value if that is what we're charging. Does sound very low though.

I’ve got 2 kids and that is what we get charged for kids. It is really good value for kids. Trinity Cat B is £10.50 and Cat A £13 if you buy individual tickets like I do. Obviously cheaper per match if they have a season ticket. 

I guess they know that they will be future customers for life and also that an adult is coming with them and paying full price. 
 

I wonder if Heck will be looking at concession pricing so adults don’t increase by much but concessions increase by a higher percentage.

40,000 x £25 x 19 home games (ignoring cups) comes to £19m and we charge or charged much more than £25 on average for a ticket! 

I’m not sure we did charge more than that on average once you take into account kids tickets and other concessions for U21 and Over 65’s.  

A north stand kids season ticket is around £8 a game isn’t it. 
 

Even buying individual tickets in the Trinity for a category A match is £13 for kids.  And there are loads of kids around me where I sit.

If we do make the Champions League the ticketing website needs a massive overhaul this summer. Shambles. 

This is the new ticketing website that they changed to a few weeks ago

Maybe the old website would have been better

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.

Just read through the link. Average matchday revenue across all 20 clubs is €93 million. 
 

In comparison we were at £16m last season.

The North Stand doesn't really have corners where you could put seats - it'd just be a load of restricted views.

If the choice is between a restricted view seat or not being able to get a seat because it’s all sold out, I’d rather have a restricted view seat. 
 

Also if the choice is between a normal seat at £60, or a restricted view seat at say £30, there would be people who choose the £30 ticket.

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.

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?
