rodders0223 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 30% to watch some of the boring fair served up this year repeated would be an outrage. Honestly I'd rather pay 500 quid for Championship football and see us won then play the way we have under Gerrard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted April 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) if it is 30% we will see how big this mythical waiting list really is. I guess we would struggle to sell 30k i Edited April 6, 2022 by Follyfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted April 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 6, 2022 on the fence with this one. on one hand with the various cost of living increases 30% is a piss take on the other hand, even a 30% increase has us in the bottom half of the league in terms of season ticket prices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 It wont be 30%. Theyd get such a bad press. It would be very harsh on long standing STHs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 This is based on a twitter rumour so I am about 90% sure this is bs. The prices will go up a bit, but not that much. If we have another sub par home record with those prices, the mythical waiting list could melt away and the plans for expansion could be put on ice yet again.

Wouldn't surprise me, and definitely wouldn't be the first time something like this has been done in football or otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted April 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 6, 2022 maybe it's 30% for new season ticket holders but there will inevitably be an early bird price for renewals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 14 hours ago, slowandlow said: I dont think the waiting list is a real barometer for demand tbh, anecdotal obviously but I know a fair few who joined the list 2 years ago and have no real intention of getting a season ticket these days. Promotion hype for a lot of people on the bandwagon. Exactly where I am. That period was one of real excitement and I joined up and would have bought one that summer without hesitation, and that first win against Everton would have ensured I was happy with the decision. The reality of 3 seasons in the PL have somewhat dampened my enthusiasm, I'm still on the waiting list but I can't remember the last time I tried to get a match ticket and I certainly have no interest in a ST.

villarule123 Posted April 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 6, 2022 I wonder if we will hear about the stadium expansion when they announce the prices, maybe to deflect from a price increase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t print my thoughts on what it costs to watch the working man’s game these days. You must have bought your ticket from a tout my old mate and I think it will have been £SD that we were both paying back then! I think that I paid about 2/6 or 2/3d to stand on the old Trinity Enclosure for my second game at Villa Park in the mid 60s. I know that we paid 7/- to stand at the LCSF in 1970 (see below) and that was well worth every old penny. On the subject of season ticket prices, I guess they will have to increase, as the clubs running cost's will be increasing rapidly like everything else is. I do hope the club can keep the increase down to 10% or less though, because the incomes of Villa fans, isn't going to be increasing as fast as their outgoings are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Southampton game was fabulous fare.....We are not far away, I think SG can see the issues now....stick with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 With 5 subs and the current head coach I'm on the edge anyway. 30% increase I would definitely be out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV82 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) Not sure if I want to renew this year if I'm honest. Travelling to and from the ground is **** effort. 30 min walk from the car in the blistering cold. Edited April 7, 2022 by AV82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I think If this 30% increase is correct can see a lot not renewing, it ain’t like we are playing decent football, I’d have to think twice if to renew if they do put it up that much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Even if I could spare the time I couldnt justify the outlay. Not with all the other increases that need covering at the moment. I'll stick to theme parks (probably more enjoyable and I don’t do the rides) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
