Will anyone listen if a few pies aren't purchased from a franchise and people haven't quite taken their seat for a minute and a half? Unlikely, the best way to stop this shite is do not buy a match day ticket, period. Of course not buying a match ticket is the best thing to do but as has already been stated, they will sell out at that price by selling to someone else otherthan the loyal fans. Villa don’t give a fuck whether the person buying a ticket is a loyal fan who has supported the club through their leanest years or a day tripper who has never been to Villa Park before in their life. See the quote from the Villa fanzine I posted yesterday that sums it up. BM |

I'm not so sure. If Stoke got to Champions League I wouldn't go on principle at £80plus! No chance, football will kill itself! You say that about season tickets every year🤣 That's because they're shite, not expensive!  |

Caught a Saturday morning flight from Copenhagen to Liverpool 3 years back, I think I was the only person who wasn't wearing a Liverpool top on the flight. Gobsmacking. Not sure thats going to happen for Villa though, but you never know with enough hype? |

Pat Metheny,a guitar playing hero of mine,is charging £80 odd a ticket for a solo performance at the Barbican centre…..he can shove his axe as far up his arse as it’ll go.
Viva la revolution.

I think you could get tickets at £45 for this gig as I looked into it? I think there were some £80 seats at the high end though yes. It doesn't surprise me though given his profile, the venue and both nights are now sold out. I don't think its the artists who are necessarily raking it in from these gigs tbh It seems to be about the going rate at major venues. Lloyd Cole tickets are £45-50 and didn't he only make one album about 30 years ago? |

I may have been given duff information..😉Prices have gone up though massively ,Id just love to see a breakdown of the costs etc etc and see how much is being right royally creamed off. If there were £44-50 tickets then that is like you say, the going rate. |

I take it Villa is not owned by anyone that is not a lifelong Villa fan? That statement could be true but not necessarily accurate when looking at Villa's history. Villa fans are naming the new owners the '2024 Doug Ellis', he was a massive Villa fan but gave absolutely nothing away & everything came at a cost.. |

Armed Forces £78. They should be ashamed. They should be admitted free. On this topic, I believe people in the military (maybe who had a season ticket before they joined) should have season ticket priority for away tickets and cup games, okay it was their choice, but they’ve moved away to serve their nation and that’s probably why they don’t have a season ticket |

From a club with a fraction of the financial resources of Villa Tbh I think £46 a match is a rip off but obviously it's fantastic in comparison and as you say they need the money far more than Villa Cup finals,semi finals I get that, everything else should be the same price unless actually doing an offer But that's just me |

Aston Villa have been a rarity in they're one of the grand old clubs who got back to the biggest stage by positive methods. A very good coach sending talented players out to play expansive football.
They've blown it completely. Those ticket prices are nothing but greed. It's inexcusable. And the lame statement the club made demonstrates how indifferent they are. Fuck em.

Brentford insist that if you can’t go to a game that you put the e ticket on the ticket exchange. This is to reward the real members who want to go. Fair enough BUT they give me £38 credit for my two tickets (. Adult and child) and then sell for £50 each. I wouldn’t be arsed BUT if you don’t list and don’t go they give you a yellow card. Three yellows and you’re banned from getting a season ticket next year. All do the good of the real fan, rather than the additional £62 revenue to the club. |

It stops people buying a ticket and just going to big games. |

Do you live near there, I went to the Barbican centre for the first time last month, only for a look and some food in the café/restaurant, it's something different? Well, I live in That London, and use/visit The Barbican often. It's a wonderful, vital place, and its history - how and why it was built in the way that it was - is incredible too. Notice how when you are inside the grounds of the Barbican, but not actually inside the mains complex, that you can hear a pin drop. It was designed to be as sound proof as possible. You can barely hear anything outside its perimeter. There is an excellent chapter on the Barbican as an architectural experiment in social housing in Concretopia, by the writer John Grindrod on the rise of the post-war new town developments. Don't know if you watch the spy drama Slow Horses, but the building that serves as their office in the programme, is just outside the Barbican tube station, and was very recently up for sale! God I'd love to buy that. And a recently retired colleague of mine lives in one of the Barbican apartments, bought donkeys years ago when it wasn't a fashionable place. Jammy sod. |
