Elasticated waste tracksuit bottoms are the way forward here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I read this as drinks are included. For an adult ticket with unlimited foot and drink, its not decent value. It doesnt work for me if im driving and ive got a kid with me. The Lower Grounds will open its doors to a fan-focused experience, which will include food and drinks as part of the package, for the first time against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, September 30.

tomav84 Posted September 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2023 i don't really have a dog in this fight as i very rarely went to the holte suite, but what i don't like is that one of the season ticket benefits is "access to exclusive lounges/suites on a matchday". please correct me if i'm wrong, but there are no other such facilities that are available to season ticket holders now? so this benefit is now null and void Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 2 minutes ago, cheltenham_villa said: while i agree, it does say it will include food and drinks. Yes but not unlimited food and drinks. You would get one pint or glass of wine or soft drink max, plus unlimited cheap street food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston_Villan4 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 £120 for all you can eat buffet and alcohol included? Sounds like an absolute steal to me. That would be at least a $500 ticket for an American football game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jones1328 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 There's no way they'll be offering unlimited alcoholic drinks as part of the package. It'll more likely be a 'free' bottle of Peckham Springs as you walk through the entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chindie Posted September 20, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2023 You'd be a brave man to get your money's worth out of £60 of buffet given the facilities at VP at the best of times.

I would also find it very odd but the current wording says drinks are included and maybe it isnt actually the worst priced initiative weve seen from villa.

DakotaVilla Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 A mate called up and they confirmed over the phone that “house beers and wine are unlimited” so god knows what crap they have lined up as the freebie option. Premium beers will be charged. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the speed of most of clubs bars for 3.5 hrs = 3 drinks. This is the Villa way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine they'll also put a fair usage type wording into the final agreement and of course they'll reserve the right to refuse service etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icouldtelltheworld Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 1 hour ago, The Fun Factory said: Unless you are Mr Crescote this isn't value for money. Taking away another current benefit and monetising it with laughably bad communication. Was any of this mentioned at season ticket renewal time? Did any of the literature mention access to the Holte Suite? Why did they say the Holte Suite was temporarily closed at the start of the season, and now suddenly it is now opened at £60 a pop? Will any of the free to use existing facilities in the stand be improved? I doubt it. I know that I am an inconvenience to them as I just turn up and watch the football and go away again. Eventually, I suspect that I will not be able to afford to go and stop attending one day, probably in the not-too-distant future if this type of shit keeps happening. I know my place. Feel utterly cold towards the club on this. Absolutely spot on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
