    Our home ticket match prices and sale dates can now be announced.

    We’ve had an incredible reaction to returning back to the Premier League, with our Season Tickets reaching a 30,000 cap.

    Even if you haven’t been able to snap one up, you’ll be able to purchase on a game-by-game basis, with all the details you need on criteria below.

    There is bound to a massive demand for top-flight clashes at Villa Park so snapping up a club membership – Claret (adults) and Cub (children) is the best way to guarantee priority to B6 games.

    As you can see below, buying online remains the best way to snap up your seats as they’re available via our Online Ticket Office before they’re made available in person or on the phone. 

    So make you’re web-ready to make sure you enjoy the buzz of matchday in the best seats available.

    Please be aware that tickets will be sold on a one ticket per Fan ID basis so ensure you are linked to friends and family.

    As always, match dates/times as well as our sales schedule are subject to change - check them out here.

    We have three categories of match – A, B and C – which have an impact on the cost of tickets for those specific games.

    Make sure you head here for all the information you need about attending matches at Villa Park, including transport, travel, entertainment and opening hours.

    Another batch of 2019/20 Season Tickets is available now via our waiting list – but please move quickly.

    With demand still high, we’ve opened up our waiting list again to the next 2,000 fans who registered.

    If you registered on the waiting list, you’ll receive an email with next steps – please keep an eye out in your inbox and don’t miss out on the chance to watch the claret and blue boys return to the top-flight.

    If you registered someone else on the waiting list, you will receive the email but if not linked to your account, they will need to log in and purchase as it’ll only be open for them to buy.

    If the person you registered is linked to your ticketing account, you can purchase on their behalf and assign the ticket to them.

    Tickets can only be assigned if the supporter is in the correct window.

    If you’re in the next window of 2,000, you will have a 3-day window, closing on Wednesday 17th July at 5pm, to secure your Season Ticket, after which the window will close. 

    This is subject to availability and the cap of 30,000 may be hit before this deadline.

    You will be able to purchase online, which is highly recommended, or over the phone at 0333 323 1874 or in person - as long as it is in your window.

  3. It said 'X seats available' and counted down as people were joining the waiting list, so who knows whether it means the number of spaces left on the waiting list or the number of season tickets left?!

    If you registered on the waiting list, you’ll receive an email with next steps – please keep an eye out in your inbox!

    Season Ticket Relocation Day will take place this Saturday 29th June for supporters wishing to switch seats for the 2019/20 campaign.
     
    Relocation Day is only for supporters who have already purchased a Season Ticket for the 2019/20 season only.
     
    No new season sales will be processed on Saturday if the supporter is not eligible for Relocation Day.
     
    Our Ticket Office will be open from 9am to 4pm and fans will be able to view seats inside Villa Park from 9am until 3pm.
     
    Supporters can only move their own seat and cannot move anybody else’s without us receiving the permission of that person.
     
    Confirmation can be given over the phone by calling 0333 323 1874 or by writing to ticketsales@avfc.co.uk.
     
    The only exceptions to this would be if the person wishing to move another supporter's seat has paid for their Season Ticket in the same transaction as their own or if a parent is looking to relocate their child’s Under 18 ticket.
     
    Anyone wishing to move to a more expensive area of the stadium will be required to make the additional payment in full (regardless of initial payment method) and will be charged the difference as per the time of the original purchase (Early Bird Window or summer prices).

      
     

    The club has created a waiting list for new and returning supporters who did not have a Season Ticket last season.

    Supporters can now register their interest by entering their details on the waiting list, which will then be categorised by order of registration on a first-come, first-served basis and subject to availability.

    Those on the list will then be notified as new Season Tickets become available.

    You can register by calling 0333 323 1874 or clicking here.

    i'm confused - not sure how this calculates?

    To register on the waiting list you have to purchase, for free, a 'seat'.  There were 3000 'seats' available to begin with AFAIK.  It got down to just above 1000 available (meaning nearly 2000 had registered already) and it then went up to 4000 available so they must have added another 3000 'seats'.

  7. The waiting list on the online ticket site had got down to just above 1k remaining (started on 3k) and it's now jumped up to 4k remaining.  So 2k on the waiting list and counting.  Obviously it doesn't mean every single one will definitely turn into a sale.

    Congratulations mate. A special year for you. 

    Cheers!  He was born in between the Sheff Wed and Rotherham games in the 10 game winning streak and I kept telling him that it won't always be this good.  I can't wait until he's old enough to come down to VP with me.  The Wembley ticket T&C's said that babies are allowed in for free without a ticket.  He was 6 weeks old the day of the Play-Off Final.....the wife was having none of it though :crylaugh:

  9. The AVFCSupport twitter feed pinned a tweet the day after the Play-Off Final saying the date that season tickets go back on sale hadn't been confirmed yet.  It did say though that if you are renewing your seat it will be held until 14th June.

    Given that the 14th is this Friday and they still haven't announced anything, surely this will be pushed back?

     

     

  10. They aren't Club Wembley seats any more.  They are being sold by Derby to Derby fans only at the normal ticket prices, presumably the £98 or £76 categories.  It's just the allocation has come from what were originally Club Wembley seats.

  11. Sold Out.

    Our allocation for the Sky Bet Championship Play-Off Final against Derby County has now sold out.

    The game takes place on Monday 27th May and we’ll be backed by 36,288 supporters in the West End of Wembley Stadium as we face the Rams.

    The remaining few tickets were snapped up mere minutes after becoming available to supporters who have attended three or more home games this season.

    The club would like to thank our fans, once again, for their fantastic support.

    Blocks 531, 532, 537, 538, 541, 542, 544 all look to me like they haven't been released yet, all greyed out and I'd doubt they've been sold including row z seats.

    We're in block 541.  When I got into the site at 17:10 on Wednesday, the whole block was available to book.  I guess they may make it unavailable once a certain number of seats in that block are sold?  That or they are sold out.  It is one of the smaller blocks.

  13. They haven't announced the home tickets yet either.  I think the delay is because they have rebuilt most of their ground over the past couple of years and they are waiting for a safety certificate for the latest new stand before they know how many tickets they can put on sale.

  14. If anyone is struggling to get through on the phone, try the online ticket office if you can.  Got ours using 4G on my phone, all sorted by 09:08.  We didn't go to any away's last season so didn't think we'd have a cat in hell's chance but really looking forward to it.

  15. Just checked and whilst I think in the FA Cup the away team is entitled to 15% of capacity, in the League Cup is it only 10%.

     

    22.2 In all Cup Competition matches, the Visiting Club shall have the right to claim 10 per cent of all tickets reserved or otherwise sold in advance (any variation to that figure shall be subject to the consent of the Management Committee) and on the following conditions: - 


    http://www.capitalonecup.co.uk/competition/rules/#22

     

    So they should only get max 4,200, not the 6,500 that Albion got last season.  You'd like to think WMP will be consistent and not allow them any extra tickets like with us for the QF at the sty a few years ago.

     

    I'll be surprised if they're given North Upper with Villa below given what happened with Albion.  Maybe they'll just give a couple more blocks, upper and lower along Witton Lane?

  16. I've bought either the home or away shirt every season for as long as I can remember.  I think this year I'm going to stop.  Not because I don't like this years kits, I really like the away shirt.  I only ever wear a replica shirt when I go down the Villa so I'm thinking I'll just buy the '94 away replica and be done with it rather than pay £50 every year.

  17. Wembley have currently banned the supporter-funded flag simply because the word Arsenal appears on it...

    Link to a petition is at the bottom.

     

     

    “Football must work together to put fans first,” declared the Football Association’s new CEO Martin Glenn when he began his job. His words though are already proving to be empty posturing.

     

    After our experiences this week, fans have clearly again been put second, so it’s time for footballer supporters to show the first easy step for the FA to fulfil Martin Glenn’s words is to use basic common sense when addressing football supporter issues.

     

    WEMBLEY FLAG BAN

    After getting the ok from their club to take a supporter-funded giant surfer flag to Wembley, over 200 Aston Villa fans raised £3000 to produce a surfer flag that met Wembley’s health and safety and size regulations.

    The surfer though has since been banned by Wembley simply because it contains the name of the opposition, despite the name only being used because Villa happen to be playing them in the final and it’s a necessary part of the design.

    The flag is a direct appropriation of the infamous Sex Pistols album and reads ‘Never mind the Arsenal here’s the Aston Villa’.

    While there’s a slight edge of humour there, it’s not disrespectful in the slightest to Arsenal fans, as the intention behind the flag was to announce to the world with some bravado that Villa are back!

     

    'Football fans have now become nothing more than the controlled atmosphere decoration to help sell the TV product.'

     

    We have asked the FA for the rules and a risk assessment of this flag going to Wembley, but no such evidence has been presented to us.

    “It isn't offensive, isn't discriminatory nor is it inflammatory,” says the Football Supporter Federation. “This banner should be allowed into Wembley.”

     

    While a handful of Wembley and club marketing staff and even some fans might not get the reference to the internationally iconic album cover, their lack of cultural awareness is not our problem, as there will be millions of people watching worldwide who will get it and as a result, enjoy our football art.

     

    PREVIOUS POOR FLAG FORM

    We are a victim of the kind of small-mindedness by Wembley that in 2011 made them think it was a good idea to charge Bradford City fans £2000 to surf their giant surfer flag that paid tribute to the 56 victims of the Bradford fire in 1986.

     "Shame": FA tried to charge Bradford City fans £2,000 to display fire disaster tribute flag at Wembley

     With football increasingly becoming a multi-billion pound soulless entertainment industry, football fans have now become nothing more than the controlled atmosphere decoration to help sell the TV product internationally.

     At the FA Cup final, we will be given a free flag from Wembley and a free scarf from the club to make the game look good for the TV viewers. We have to pay up to £120 each to fulfil our roles as puppets.

     

    DON'T ACCEPT IT
    Please sign this petition to say no to this over cautious and controlling approach to fans that is effects all supporters from every club in the UK. 

    It doesn’t matter if you like the design of our flag or not, you're welcome to your opinion, but the point is supporters are being censored for no good reason. 

     So please sign this petition to encourage the use of common sense by the FA.

    #GodSavetheFlag #FAcommonsense

    PS - We have constantly been told by a handful of football industry people what Arsenal fans will think. But have they actually consulted any Arsenal fans? No.

    We did...

    ARSENAL SUPPORTER GROUPS STATEMENT

    The Arsenal Supporters' Trust, Black Scarf Movement, REDaction and The Gooner Fanzine, would all like to show support with Aston Villa fans over an issue they are having with their club and the FA. Villa fans have raised money to design and produce a crowd surfer banner for the FA Cup Final next Saturday. The banner design details have been provided to our groups - it is a humourous design, which name checks The Arsenal - and it appears it is the fact that our name is included on it which is causing the FA some concern.

    We are flattered that the Villa fans consider us worthy of being included on their banner and see absolutely no reason why Arsenal fans should consider it anything other than what it is, a well designed idea with no intention to cause any offence or incite bad feeling between the fans.

    In fact, we find it quite concerning that the FA should have such a poor opinion of Arsenal fans, feeling that a banner of this type would cause any kind of unrest or ill feeling from us towards our opponents. It would appear to be another example of the sanitisation of our game by the authorities; trying to remove any aspect of friendly rivalry between the clubs competing in their flagship game.

    It seems a shame that the FA are spending so much time trying to stop Villa fans from bringing a banner - surely time and resource that could be better used looking at why the competing clubs are only allocated 51k tickets in a stadium holding 90k 'fans'. Or maybe investigating why so many tickets are being sold on the black market for upwards of £800, most of which have come from their purported 'Football Family'. Perhaps this is a matter of greater concern.

    In the true spirit of football, we urge the FA to see sense and look forward to the Villa fans unveiling their banner at the final.

  19. It will be interesting to see if there are any empty seats around the ground because I guess a number of tickets will have been bought by people trying to up their booking history to be eligible for cup final tickets, whether they can actually go to this game or not.  Plus we only knew we couldn't get relegated this weekend and if there was a chance of us going down I would have expected it to sell out.
