Aston Villa have confirmed ticket details for their second home Champions League match against Bologna at Villa Park on Tuesday, October 22. Season ticket holders in zones one and two will pay £79, and £70 in zones three and four. For non-season ticket holders, the prices increase by £15 per zone. In the 1888 Suite, where no concession tickets are available, all fans will pay £97, while season ticket holders will pay £82.
The Villa Trust, which is part of the Fan Advisory Board, released a statement expressing disappointment over the club’s pricing policy for Champions League tickets. The Trust had previously met with the club to discuss ticket pricing, particularly in the event of Champions League qualification.
Club statement read “As part of the Fan Advisory Board, the AVST met with the club towards the end of last season to discuss season ticket prices including the Champions League, if we were to qualify, and made clear pricing should be no higher than that of a Category A game if we did. For the club to announce Champions League ticket prices well above this season’s Category A is extremely disappointing, especially given the recent matchday experience with delays of over 30 minutes getting into the ground, issues with access to seating, toilet facilities. The Trust fears the club will alienate fans with these prices and urges the club to rethink ahead of the first home match against Bayern Munich in October.”
