rbcuk Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 No season tickets this season which most of us already guessed that would be the case https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2020/september/Supporters-Update/?fbclid=IwAR3OeJ7XM6YjuYBsok2Rd1H5w-13tQQRzWRytYzv8tXxxqaKBnXXRjMHY5w Quote The club can confirm that there are no plans for season tickets to go on sale for 2020/21. When a return of supporters to Villa Park is possible this season, tickets for any games will be sold via ballots of 2019/20 season ticket holders due to the limited capacities expected in the stadium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even holding back 10% for example for non-season ticket holders isnt fair to season tickets because a lot of them cant really afford a season ticket but save every penny they can to do it and some use the financing facility.

danceoftheshamen Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I guess if you think that the pilot schemes which were being tried prior to re-lockdown were allowing 1000 fans in per game, so even season ticket holders (all 30,000 of them) would get not even 1 game each per season!

OutByEaster? Posted October 8, 2020 Moderator Share Posted October 8, 2020 A lot of clubs including our own are currently trying to lobby government for the return of fans at sporting and cultural events. It'd be really useful if you have a mo to sign this petition if you're of a mind to: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/552036 Quote Allow football fans to attend matches at all levels Football is a powerful tool of which allows a range of benefits such as employment, and other important aspects of life. Football can be associated with passion, emotion, excitement and dedication across the community. With Fans attending football games a range of economic benefits are there too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Maybe right thread but with no fans allowed back, Sky and BT wont show all the games so non TV games are going on pay per view with the money going to the clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) £14.95 a game Good luck with that And I take it the money goes to the clubs as a share rather than old la liga esque individual TV deals?

It’s the beginning of the end i think with that method. Although am I right in thinking they tried pay per view games a few years back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully no one will buy it so the TV companies won't be airing them on ppv again. However if they did a season ticket for each team's games I believe this would be best. I don't mind paying for a Villa TV season ticket especially this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs maybe hurting but not more than the average Joe but they still want to screw us. Am I right in thinking that these pay per view games, will be the ones that have not been selected by Sky or BT? If so, they wouldn't have been televised otherwise, if the clubs were unwilling to continue to let them be shown by Sky/BT/Amazon indefinitely without extra charge. I wonder whether games selected by Sky or BT, will also be made available for PPV to those that have not got a subscription to either company? If not, there will still be games that are not available, unless a subscription is taken out to each of these companies. For me, I like the idea that clubs want to make games that would otherwise not be televised available to the fans (as EFL clubs have done for £10) at this time. I can also understand that they need to be able to get some cash in during the coming months (when at best stadiums will be 25% full) and that their charge may not match what EFL clubs charge for their football. These games will also be available, I presume to season ticket holders and to none season ticket holders, who would not be able to attend limited capacity games (once they begin). I share your concern for what this may lead to in the future and I'm sure Sky and BT will see this as an opportunity to make more money out of the fans, rather than to make games available in the main, for the benefit of football supporters. Clubs are also likely to look at this, as a trial for making more from televised games in the future, than they currently do. Time will determine who benefits most from this in the long term, over the years it has not been fans too often though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillieVillain Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 In Scotland fans of Premier league teams can buy a virtual season ticket ,which means you get to watch all your teams home games on their tv station, if you want to watch them away from home you pay a fee to the home team ,normally between £15-£25 to watch the game. My team Kilmarnock have charged the same price as last season to watch Killie TV, plus have guaranteed season ticket holders 19 walk in games once fans are allowed back into stadiums ,so say this season you get back for 9 games then you can choose to have the price of the missing 10 games deducted from next season's ticket price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
