ferguson1 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I won't be renewing after six pretty crap years of being a season ticket holder. I made my decision over the Christmas holiday period and not because of today's announcement. Partly down to costs, family reasons and general lack of entertainment. In fact I won't be making our last two home games and have already given my tickets away. I will hugely miss attending but will pick and choose a few games to attend next season I'm sure.

OutByEaster? Posted April 21, 2016 Moderator Share Posted April 21, 2016 Mine goes from £510 to £500 a drop of £10 or 2%. In return I get four extra games and five if we get a home cup draw. So down from £26.84 a game to £21.74 at worst and £20.83 at best. 3% Villa cash is £15 - I'm not sure but I thought I got more than that last year. And you know what, none of that matters, I'll renew anyway, and whether or not it's good value won't be about how much I paid for it, it'll be about what I end up watching. Could be worse I guess, but I think they could have done more, especially for kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 If there's a takeover, I'm there. If that prick Lerner still owns us, not a **** chance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted April 21, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2016 The old Villa Cash has gone from 10% of the value of your season ticket to 5% last year now 3% Very sneaky sir! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Reluctantly renewing mine, our group of friends agreed that much earlier on. It goes against my principals as Lerner the shit head doesn't deserve us. But it's my club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 With the proposed changes to the ground next season following the ST announcement, I reckon the capacity at Villa Park will be the lowest it has ever had since it was built in 1897. Just about sums up the total lack of ambition our beloved 'custodian' has on Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benireduk Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Are they doing something with the lower north re disabled seating? First I have heard of it. Removing the back 7 rows to make space for disabled fans to meet legal requirements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Villa Park first season they had a crowd of 35,000 v Wolves, and by the following season they had a 42,000 versus Sheffield United. I believe capacity increased to the maximum of 76,000 in the post war years before steadily dropping to 48,000 pre Taylor Report, and post Taylor 39,000 before the new Trinity Road stand in 2000. By my calculations its going to be a close run thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad, No problem- though better to end the subject as it is really a ST thread! As for season ticket sales it is surely going to have a nosedive unless some, or any, positive noises come from Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 8 hours ago, Mantis said: How much will single match-day tickets on average compared to now? Probably going to go to about 10-15 games next season but not sure if it'd be worth getting a season ticket. Later in the summer I think, that's what I'm interested in aswell. If the club wants to attract some decent crowds next season they need to significantly reduce the walk up price imo, stuff like 42 quid needs to be abolished so that's one step with the Trinty upper being closed.

sidcow Posted April 21, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2016 I would probably pay double what they are asking if we were in the conference but I basically have no life For those fans upset our prices seem very similar to borough for example. I realize we are a poor cousin of that type of club but surely we can aspire to their kind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Have they said anything about opening up trinity upper on a game requirement basis? It would be stupid to have it closed when we play blues for example at that would be a sell out. Or is that when the staff redundancies comes into play, can't be opened as no staff to run it?

JMilnereatsnails Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'll be renewing. I go to the villa to get some peace and quiet and with all the talk going around about non-renewals it seems next season I could be having my best season ever.

swaib2004 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Disappointed that my ticket price hasn't shifted. I thought they would have gave some kind of reduction for existing season ticket holders. Because of the amount of rubbish kick off times I wont be renewing, the price I think is still decent value for what you get but still think the principle of not getting any incentive is a kick in the teeth. Had a quick look and Wolves will have only had 14 Saturday Home games , and Blues will only have had 12 by the end of the season, and that doesn't include however many early kick offs they have had. Ill just pick and choose the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Away ticket priority would be the only draw for me. Unable to make mid week home games of which there would be many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
