Very poor from the club TBH - I know they have said not to contact them - but if they ignore any communication you send - then sooner or later they are going to get a deluge of calls Im going to have to phone in the next couple of days. Why? Has it been 90 days yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I entered an event with 15k participants ...money was re credited with 5 days of cancellation. I also don't get why they ignore emails and letters sent by post. I'm trying to save them time by telling them revised bank details. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Called the ticket office - not the most confidence inspiring conversation I have had. The 90 days apparently starts from 01/07/2020 - and we are on approximately day 40 now - I was told no refunds to credit cards have yet been made - as these will be done in bulk Asked about next years season tickets - these won't be on sale anytime soon as no decisions have been made re the format and whats happening etc (she said the email sent out saying these would be available soon was sent in error) Sounds like they are making it as they a go along TBH. I entered an event with 15k participants and got this refund within 5 days of the event being cancelled. I know they have smaller fan base but WBA for example processed all theirs with 21 days. (from 08/06/2020) Liverpool 7-10 days starting 08/06/2020 Edited August 10, 2020 by hippo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Another day. No refund. Interesting about what is being said on next season's Season Tickets. I have had a look at some nearby League Two and National League clubs and they are selling the tickets with a view to some crowds coming back by October. That might be based more on desperate optimism than any facts though. These clubs have to have season ticket money coming in or they will go bust. Premier League clubs could quite happily never have crowds coming back ever again as long as they get the TV money in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted August 10, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2020 some clubs are taking the money with the view to refunding if/when they need to. keeps their heads above water for a bit i guess and hope that some sort of rescue package is provided by the FA/EFL/PL in the meantime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for us they could send all refunds now first class in gold plated envelopes and it wouldn't affect the bottom line much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B30Villa Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I’ve finally received the refund for two matches. Looks like they’re doing two a day over three days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's my view too. However the virus is going to increase exponentially as we get closer to winter, I don't think we'll get to the stage where even restricted crowds are allowed back, or if they are it won't be for long.

AndyM3000 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Great time to redevelop parts of Villa Park. Not sure if we still had plans to fix or build a new North Stand but doesn't look like we will be having a full house in this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it could be years until you see big crowds returning. I'd imagine clubs will be very nervous about any investment right now and will more likely sit on money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I wonder whether season ticket holders will get the opportunity to attend one out of four games next season, to begin with then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The economy is going to tank and we still have no idea when things will go 'back to normal', if ever. Project re start shows that premier league clubs can quite happily keep running without any crowds as long as people keep subscribing to Sky or BT. In regards to the season ticket refund I have had 4 of the 6 refunds last week but not the other 2 yet. Odd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
