Yeah, I'm well aware of that, unfortunately. With the cost of a new stadium and rate of inflation, I would not be surprised at all if the absolute cheapest seats are £55+ by the time the new stadium is in use.
Both. Up until the start of this season there were just people on the turnstiles, tearing tickets. Now they've introduced member access cards, which you absolutely have to have in order to get the barcode scanned and get let in.
Only problem is, they don't work properly. During the Young Boys match, people were arriving to their seats 25 minutes after kick-off because the barcode scanners weren't reading cards properly and the staff weren't letting people in, making them go to the ticket office to print off a back up ticket.
Well, although Villa tickets are pretty cheap, I still can't afford prices like £30 for Bolton at home....
I always knock a tenner off, order the Under 16 tickets online, get them sent through at my house. People on the turn stiles never check, my Dad's 55 and has been with an under 16 ticket
I know it's cheating the club but at the end of the day, It's not as if we are selling out so £20 to the club is better than £0 at all.
So yeah.....buy the cheaper tickets, no one will ever know.
