Season Tickets

[VillaTim]

I imagine the list is going to get considerably longer now .

I just saw this on Reddit, posted today:

"I got talking at the Hibbs game to the chap in charge of developing Villa Park. He was a few down and was definitely saying more than he should. The plan is to have a terrace view set up all around the ground. Could be that sadly. "

It's been said nearly 900 season ticket holders are going to be moved does this impact any of the ST who post discussion here?
What's your take and experience?
Especially if it's been longstanding seat for you- what's going to your plan?

I hadn't seen this thread initially so had put it in redevelopment thread.

Yes
It’s shit
No info or contact from the club, so no idea on the options.

Sorry to hear this.
That should be a club priority.

Selfishly, I hope any kerfuffle over this reduces the season-ticket queue. Not sure how much they've eaten into that yet. Last update I had on mine was an email in April last year, number 27825!

Me and the kids are 37,000 and something. Two blokes at work, father and son, are at 45k.

We’d all definitely buy.

I wonder how big the list is now?

My 3yo was 12,118 last April, not had an update this year but can’t imagine it’s very different. Will probably come around just in time for her to decide she’s not interested.

My 4yo has just done her 3rd yr as a ST holder. I think a few on here rightly questioned the wisdom of starting so young, but so glad not to have given up the ST, what a year!

With 900 general admission seats being allocated to existing season ticket holders and the 900 becoming premium seats. It won’t improve the waiting list situation ( unless you can afford a premium seat) . Those on the list may get the chance to buy a posh seat, I guess?

But it sounds like even the existing seat holders aren’t getting that chance, Which is making me wonder: are people losing their seats because it is being converted to a premium seat or are people losing their seats because the seat just won’t be there anymore?

All 900 will be able to relocate to other parts of the ground. Their seats will become premium

Just to clarify,My point was, in reply to the possibility that people on the waiting list could buy a premium seat, that the existing seat holders aren’t even being given the option to retain their seat as a premium seat.

Do we know this though? Has anyone had the conversation with the club that they have to move and what the options are?

Ah right. I’m expecting to be one of those, so I’ll let you know what our options are. I suspect they’ll happily take our cash for an upgrade

Who has said you won’t be able to purchase your existing seat as a premium seat?

Nobody has said this but if this were the case, why would they have made a press announcement giving the bad news that 900 seasont ticket holders would be displaced. I personally think the press release would have been that "the seats of 900 season ticket holders will be upgraded with the exciting and privileged opportunity to retain this premium experience, or  a suitable alternative".

That’s a fair point but as usual I wouldn’t necessarily think the worst until it’s confirmed. Also with Heck’s appalling record with comms over the last year I’d suggest waiting until you get the letter assuming you’ll be one of the 900.
