The Bitter Taste of the Champions League Ticketing Pricing
It’s supposed to be a season of double-celebration with both the 150th anniversary and Aston Villa’s return to Europe’s top table in the Champions League, so why have the club decided to cold-heartedly price many fans out of Champions League tickets and price Villa Park tickets way above the likes of Liverpool, Newcastle United, Manchester City and Celtic?
We discuss the matter in detail in the latest My Old Man Said podcast, which was picked up on in a recent Daily Mail article
‘I feel exploited,’ said lifelong supporter David Michael on his popular Villa podcast My Old Man Said. ‘The games against Bayern, Juventus and Celtic are games of sentimental, historical significance. They’ve got a captive market and they’re playing on fans’ fear of missing out. ‘You don’t celebrate the club’s 150th anniversary by treating fans like this. You will see fans make their feelings heard now. ‘I was looking forward to the season and the Champions League draw is perfect. You don’t expect to be treated like this and there is a nasty feeling. There are fans who want more than ever to see these games with their families but they’re being priced out.’
We also catch-up on the latest Villa News, Three Points and look back at the Leicester City game.
