    Just seen the latest news regarding tickets for the game at Villa.
    Its on a Monday night at 8.00pm and on Sky but the greedy whatisnames are asking £41 a ticket to sit up in the top corner of that stand...no wonder we have only taken an initial 1600 tickets

    What are these EPL clubs trying to do?

    Disgraceful Villa!

    I paid around that sum last year to watch a boring 0-0 draw. One positive is that they've reduced concession tickets, which I qualify for. Won't be returning anyway.

    For £41 you would expect a goal fest.
    Have we become a Cat A side now that we are second in the league hence the price

    Villa are a joke of a club. Check home tickets and you can pick them up for 15ish quid.

    Edit: on viagogo though.

    From 25 to 42 on main villa site. Still a joke, away tickets should match the cheapest home ticket IMO.

    For comparison, here's the Leicester prices for their game at St Marys

    Adults £34
    Seniors (Over 65s) £30
    17-21 Years £30
    11-16 Years £21
    Under 11s £12

    Home tickets are £32 for adults, £22 for concessions, £16 for Under-17s and £12 for Under-11s



    Another comparison worth noting is the price for other away games: Arsenal away is £26.


    So yes, I would consider the Aston Villa prices poor value!

    We made an agreement with Arsenal to keep prices low for both sets of away fans.

    Probably worth pointing out Saints are charging Villa fans £42 for the match at St marys

    The game was moved for TV, prices were set long before that. For regular away travellers, being on TV does not matter.

    But who set the price first? What do we normally charge away fans?

    Well, I'm regularly paying £39 for a ticket in the Kingsland bought by a season ticket holder, though Stoke was only £25 in the Chapel, so I'd imagine away fan prices are around the £38 mark.

    They charge away fans the same as Home fans pay in 'wings and goals'. For Adults the prices are as follows:

    Cat A - £42
    Cat B - £39
    Cat C - £34

    Way too much. Our Cat A prices are probably acceptable, but Cat C and B is way too high. Arsenal charge £26 to away fans for Cat C.
