Villa ticket prices for champions League home games.....

are between £85-£97 to park your butt on some scruffy seat, This is taking the piss surely, with all the millions the club gets being in the Premier and tv cash etc What a slap in the face for your loyal fans, No wonder so many foreigners want to buy British clubs to milk their fans, My club Millwall are in the Championship and you know what I am happy for them to stay there a great league with great teams. Because in the Premier players are being paid up to £350,000 to £400,000 a week. Plain bonkers. But hope you guys have a good season.

Yep, appreciate the owners have chucked vast amounts of money at this project and will rightly look to recoup in time, but sticking it to the fans who have largely been there through thick, and (lots of) thin is poor from them. there is good money to be made by simply continuing to keep the club in the upper levels of the prem by backing the best manager we have had for a long time, by their own admission we are at least 2 years ahead of schedule in the latest 5 year plan, the manager constantly says how important the crowd is to the team performance, it wont be the same if the place is full of tourists because they are the only ones who can or will pay these prices. Absolute madness that away fans will pay HALF the price home fans will pay. Wait till the Celtic game when half the home end will be full of *issed up jocks and *issed of villans.

Cheers Claw for coming on here, it's disgraceful and will price out a sizeable chunk of our fanbase who will be replaced by the sit up and clap then sit back down & look at your phone brigade, saw this at Man City when I took my lad there a few years ago. The so called premium experiences are also a joke but we all have choices I guess, on the pitch things are good but off the pitch with the shambles outside vs Arenal and the toilets, queues at the bars it's a complete joke.

Sounds about right, but as you are westcountry good to see Plymouth back in Championship as I have several friends down there from my time in the Marines. Yes Villa is doing well but those prices are out of order, the most i have paid at the Den is 30 Quid. I would happily pay that to see Villa in the Cup down the den. >;)

I'm not from the Westcountry mate, have just lived here in Wiltshire & previously Somerset since leaving home through work. I worked in Cornwall for a year in the 90's a few down there were ardent Plymouth fans.
