Villa Ticket Info Released

15,000 Boro fans at them Prices
Villa would sell 7k if allocated imo

Would have been 35k at this one late 60's, early 70's.

The fa cup was massive back then, you could expect much bigger gates compared to the league.

5.30 on a Saturday doesn't help.

 

[The Disciple]

There’ll be a good crowd in for this one

20 quid is sound

Agree but should have gave everyone a chance to get them at those prices. These are the matches where historically people who would generally not bother might give it a go at a cheaper price

 

[kader63]

Split prices for general sale and season ticket holders. ..

Minging.

It's about time ticket prices are the same for non season ticket holders as season ticket holders,no justification in charging a extra £5.

Indeed it was, I wonder what changed?

That’ll be Mr S Gibson and his “only season ticket holders are important to
Me” model.

Surely you know that by now??

Greed is good prevails again, no matter what admin says on behalf of the club , they could of done a across the board price , because they are in for a shock . Many Sc holders will dip & there is no incentives to go as a non SC holder when its on tele at these prices

20 quid is sound

Would you pay £25 and still think it was sound?

Walk ups subsidising STH again

 

[Redwurzel]

About 22k for the game.

Villa will sell out their allocation - I would have given them 5k they are buzzing at present.

Our season ticket prices are good for this game, but too high for walk up fans for a live game.

25% price increase on the Brighton game is too much. Villa are a better pull but not 25% more.

 

[JM14]

Our reserves!?

It will be as full a strength team as you're likely to see all season.

With a big run of league fixtures, injuries and a potential league cup semi final to come, why would we play a full side?

Not this nonsense again!

Don't you think clubs like to beat teams from a higher division?

Realistically it’s a competition we have no chance in, and could really do without the extra games. I just don’t see why we would prioritise a game like this. Especially when Villas reserves will likely hammer us anyway

 

[Davey_C]

We didnt have a massive squad in 91/92 yet reached the league cup semi final, fa cup 5th round and won automatic promotion

In saying that who got injured apart from falconer for a long spell?

We lose many of our players to injuries picked up in training, so not train?

I agree. The magic of the Cup back then. Just the 3rd round draw on Radio was a highlight for me

I don't think it's terrible value personally. Some league 2 clubs will charge almost that for walk ups. Least you're seeing, on current form, one of the best sides in the country.

I would bet Villa will make at least five changes to their starting lineup, so the team you are paying to see will not be their strongest team or the current form team.
