S-Platt Posted July 20, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2019 I have a mate who is an Arsenal Fan I believe he has to buy a membership to buy tickets. I am sure they even have different levels of membership and none of them guarantee a ticket you just have the opportunity before others. He normally only gets a ticket for Cup/European games which I always thought was harsh! They also use the membership criteria to buy on the official reselling site for season ticket holders that cannot go. I think Villa need to explain membership does not guarantee a ticket only a season ticket does that. Add in that season ticket reselling should only be for claret/cub members first. General Sale window after. What having membership does should mean no Man Utd/Liverpool fans in the Villa end for games like in the past. What it should also do is give fans the chance to vote on important club issues such as next years kit and so on. If the demand continues it is something we are going to have to get used to I am afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Be interesting to see how many memberships they sell this year on top of the ST’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they need to do this? The website is pretty clear, it gives you priority access to tickets before they go on general sale. Nowhere is there a suggestion you are guaranteed a ticket.

I mean you're right ofc, they're under no obligation, but the suggestion of 'priority' is open to interpretation. Just clarify it, that's all. Be good to your fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoughboroughLion Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 Is it possible to track how many tickets have been sold thus far? Trying to see the likelihood of away tickets reaching claret members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A huge number I’d imagine, it’s a great way for them to boost income following limiting ST’s.

Kingman Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 If we continue to progress then I wouldn't be surprised that next season we have some kind of tiered structure membership in place. Gold membership = First 3k on list Guarantees you a ticket + all cup games + usual extras + additional incentives. £100 Silver membership = Next 2k on list Guarantees you a ticket + usual extras + additional incentives = £75 Bronze membership = Gives you priority over booking history and general sales + usual extras + additional incentives = £50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to talk about how the entire economic system is a con I'm here for it, but I don't think the '1 member = 1 ticket' rule is emblematic of it. I personally think they should have capped Claret Membership at 3,000 or something. But allowing those members to then buy more than one ticket only exasperates the issue.

Stevo985 Posted July 20, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2019 I’ve signed up. The fact that they got priority over everyone but ST holders for the playoff final was enough to sway me. I don’t think it’s right to be honest, but I’ll take advantage of it while I don’t have a ST if it’s there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
