[Archived] Coach From Golden Cup to Aston Villa

[Parsonblue]

Tickets for Villa - £40

What a farce!

Totally agree. Sadly, I suspect that we will have more games at the £40 + mark this season than last. I'm fortunate enough to be able to pay it but I can well understand why many will be giving away games a miss this year irrespective of the performances on the pitch. In the present financial climate it would appear that football - with a few honourable exceptions, particularly at Ewood - seems oblivious to the financial problems that many people are facing.

40 quid at Villa is nothing short of a disgrace. We seem to go there on a monthly basis and it's hardly the most attractive fixture. Going to be forced to miss this one, sorry Ralfinho but I really can't afford 40 quid a pop.

[roversmum]

It is without doubt a bit steep ...

[Hughesy]

Can afford it, but refuse to pay it! £40 for that sh!t hole, no thanks!

If they are charging us £40 then god knows what the will be charging for the big clubs

[Mattyblue]

I'm sure I read that their ST sales are down, plus the whole Big Eck palava, I doubt they are going to get many lapsed ST holders buying on the day at those prices!

I'm not going. Can afford but I refuse to pay that. Rather put the money in to other things.

[Ralfinho]

£40 is pretty steep, however I will still be running this coach so if you needs seats or have them and cannot go now please let me know.

Thanks

I had pencilled in this game. However, £40 is ludicrous. I'll wait and see how we go on on Saturday and then make my mind up.

[Steve Kean's Hypnotoad]

Joke of a price. What are Villa playing at? They never fill their ground against us when the tickets are priced reasonably and we have a half-decent allocation, so they've absolutely no chance with this one now. Have they started confusing themselves with a top 4 team? Dunno why even their own fans would bother paying £40 to watch a mid-table outfit.

Massive shame for our fans who get treated like **** once again, I expected a good following for this one but its as if Villa have deliberately crushed any chance of that. Usually go myself but certainly not at that price. Good luck filling the coach anyway, hope this griping isn't putting people off, keeps it at the top at least!

[Ben-2000]

Like others have said I too could go if I really wanted to, but refuse to pay out £40.00 on principle.

Expect many ''empty seats m' lord'' at Villa Park next season.

Whilst we're on the subject. Bolton are being charged £45.00 and £50.00 for QPR!!! They are having a laugh too!

with a bit of luck the rioters will show some sense and set Villa Park alight

Disgusting post. Only an idiot would encourage people to riot.

Chill out and read my posts on the London Riots thread before you get high and mighty son.

Have you ever heard of irony?

I think Ralph should reduce his ticket prices to allow for the fact that Villa are ripping us off

I would if i could but the price im charging covers the cost of the coach!!!!

[Ralfinho]

Im having problems with the coach company. Im looking for an alternative as I type this. Start making alternate arrangements just in case.

This is a one off according to the coach company and Im going to have something written down for all future coaches from them

[Blackburn Ravers]

Ralf mate, apologies but i`m gonna have to cancel the seats i asked for, it was 3 bud.

[Ralfinho]

COACH HAS BEEN CANCELLED. I HAVE HAD TOO MANY PULL OUT. I WILL BE ARRANGING OTHERS THOUGH SO WATCH THIS SPACE

I'd suggest people use the Ewood Blues coaches - Birdy has been running these for about 15 years with no issues.

Normally found in the Aquaduct before home games
