rodders0223 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Ill just bin the dream of me and my son when he's old enough having season tickets because it just won't be financially viable. **** this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I can understand this from both the club and fans perspective. What I would say is the football is much more than 15% better than it was heading into last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted April 22, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 22, 2023 I get we have to be competitive but my season ticket is a family ticket 2 adults 2 kids. 2 years ago it was £840 for 4 which was a bargain. Went upto to £1100 with a discount for the increase last season but we moved more central in the upper North Stand. Reading that it's now going to be £1760 for the same seats. This is due to moving my seat from zone 4 to 3 and putting 15% on plus there are no family packages in zone 3. I will wait for it to be confirmed but yes there will be a few people giving up season tickets. If I am one of those remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season tickets went up by 30% in many areas last season. My ticket went up £100 on the year before so another increase similar is literally taking the piss. Especially when many are going through a cost of living crisis. It's ridiculous for the additional revenue which will increase anyway if the team are successful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Ouch, the price of our good run of form. He’s like, oh well, you’ve got an elite manager so you’re gonna have to pay more. If Emery hadn’t hit the ground running he wouldn’t have been able to justify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talldarkandransome Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 My lad is starting to show a real interest in Villa now, today will be the 3rd game in a row he has sat and watched with me. He's already asking about going to a match, I would need to buy 2 memberships and then match tickets etc, 3 if he wants his mum to go too. I've already warned him that he might have to wait until next season, and these increases are likely to make it even more difficult. At the end of the day it's a game, its just a bloody rich man's game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to help if you need tickets just pm me. Maybe we could set up a thread with others that want to help fellow fans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Inflation in the country is running at over 10% for awhile now so a 15% rise is only a few % above that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5-1 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Mine went up 40% this season and now it'll be going up another 15%. Shocking. As people have said what they generate from match tickets is peanuts compared to other revenue but i suppose demand is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some graph of the ticket prices over past 5 years? I suppose it's different depending on which seats etc.. Inflation has been a total of 16.6% over last 2 years.
