How Many Aston Villa Home Tickets Are Available Next Season?
If you do not hold a season ticket and want to attend a home Premier League game at Villa Park next season, this is what you are dealing with.
The club’s formal response to the Fan Advisory Board in May, published this week, puts it plainly:
“Average availability for Premier League fixtures is expected to be approximately 3,600.”
Villa Park’s working capacity drops to around 37,000 with the North Stand closed for construction. Of those 37,000 seats, the overwhelming majority are season tickets, including thousands of displaced North Stand holders relocated into the remaining three stands. After the commercial partners, hospitality and away fans are catered for, the 3,600 is what is left for everyone else, namely the tens of thousands of Villa members who will be effectively entering a first come ballot on the club’s ticketing website.
The club’s own expectation, stated previously, was that all of those tickets will sell within the members-only priority window before general sale opens.
Why Are Aston Villa Tickets More Expensive in 2026/27?
What makes the figure more pointed is the pricing decision sitting alongside it.
The club’s FAB consultation response states: “In light of reduced supply, we intend to increase match-by-match ticket prices by 5% across both Premier League and European fixtures for the 2026/27 season.”
It is a direct admission that prices are rising because supply has fallen. It’s at least honest.
From MOMS’ previous experience with club meetings covering ticket pricing, any rhetoric around PSR is a diverting fugazi for supporters to lap up. The true motivation has always been the here-and-now demand and supply dynamic. Any bigger picture considerations, such as the generational succession of a fanbase and filling the stadium to meet Unai Emery’s wishes, are secondary, as we saw with the Europa League pricing.
While the Champions League pricing was very much a brutal exercise in ‘price discovery’ to see what they could possibly get away with, with very little consideration shown to the fanbase sentiment.
Over the past five years, Villa supporters have been hit with a minimum of a 47%* price rise – the Consumer Price Index equivalent would have been a 27.4% rise in line with general inflation.
Will Aston Villa Ticket Prices Go Down When the North Stand Reopens?
The price freeze promised for 2027/28 is also dictated by demand and supply dynamics. At any higher price point, the club risks not filling the 13,000 extra seats that return when the new North Stand opens to create a 50,000 Villa Park. The freeze is a commercial calculation to assess the situation, not a concession. It is ultimately a commitment to hold a higher price, not reduce them.
Villa to Introduce Souvenir Tickets
Souvenir tickets are launching for 2026/27, supporters will be able to purchase a commemorative season card or replica match ticket as a keepsake. For supporters who have moved to digital access cards and miss having something physical, it could be a welcome addition, if the price point is reasonable.
The concept of charging more for tickets, but removing the actual physical ticket, to then sell it as an add-on, is not lost.
Physical Season Ticket Cards
Speaking of physical season tickets, they remain available on request. The club received 2,107 requests in 2025/26, approving 929 immediately and 197 after appeal. The process is being streamlined for next season.

The club should lower the cost of membership otherwise a lot of people are going to be pissed off
The postage is £9.95 alone! If you’re joining to get access to tickets, it could potentially be Fool’s Gold.
