I'd say the ticket price was value for money don't you think.?

The pricing of the match ticket isn’t why there were fans who couldn’t afford it, every time you shop, put petrol in your car, turn the lights and heating on in your house is why ??‍♂️

42,000 people could afford it so that’s the main thing, maybe some supporters who normally find it tough to get tickets were able to get them for last night, we can liken the situation to situation inside the club where we need more than 11 players to make villa a top 4 team, same with the supporters we need more supporters than the 40 odd thousand that go to the premier league games to sustain this push to break into the big 6.

I'd also argue that if they can't afford £80 for a ticket, they probably shouldn't be spending £60 on one.

If funds are that tight for someone, that the extra £20 is breaking the bank, then it's not really the club they should be moaning about.

I bet those fans would prefer watching us play Bayern on TV than playing AFC Wimbledon in the EFL trophy at Villa Park.

I find it difficult to agree with the comments of anyone who doesn't spend a penny down Villa park, if it has been in your blood for many years it's sad that financial circumstances now mean that they can't enjoy the special times those of us who can afford it are currently experiencing. Many have followed and spent money following the Villa when gate money was a vital source of income. I have two close friends, season ticket holders of over twenty years, their season tickets have increased nearing 300% over the last two years meaning they can no longer afford to go. If anyone can tell me this level of increase is justified, especially those who have had no personal financial impact with recent changes.

A person who is good at their job and works hard expects promotions and pay increases. If their employer decides they cannot afford those expectations then the employee moves on to an employer who can.
Football is no different, players performing at Champions League level expect Champions League wages and the club have to price themselves accordingly.
I know football isn't normal, a fan doesn't change their allegiances lightly, but there is a massive sense of entitlement across the community. Imagine complaining that a band you watched in your local for a couple of quid became successful and is playing arenas for £60 a pop.
Nice of you to assume I don't support the club financially at all, but that's typical of your blind self importance.

I have lots of friends that can’t afford luxury’s like champions league matches, hell I have friends who can’t afford mortgages but these are the times we live in.
You can’t have it both ways you want a modern club playing top level football and buying top players (cause you will do nothing but criticise poor players) but you want someone else to foot the bill for it
