More have reappeared now, looks like 100 left

This will never make sense to me, surely there should be more interest in TV for overseas tours, for starters there are 20k odd in the ground for home series who would be wanting to watch an overseas tour

Warwickshire in particular to blame here. Made the quarters all 4 years and lost each QF, including the most recent 3 as top of north group and home quarter. Choking with the added pressure of making finals day at home?

Following another clean sweep by the Southern section in the blast QFs this year, since the split to North/South in 2021 this is how the North has performed in QFs, beyond a joke now: 2021 0/4 2022 2/4 2023 0/4 2024 0/4 If it was down to random chance, having 0/8 in the last two years is a 0.39% chance, let that sink in

Club have shown numerous times in recent seasons they'd rather lose money than going to gen sale. Cutting off the nose to spite the face Edit: Only ~400 left pre members, think it'll sell out anyway

I think this is easily the main factor for slow sales, people care a lot less when they've "ticked it off". Couldn't disagree more with the second point, personally I think the two-legged semi final is as good as it gets, so much better than FA cup SF single leg at bloody Wembley. Even though we lost, the SF with Villa a few years ago was incredible. As close as you can get to being in the play offs when you're in the prem. And we all know the play offs are the best thing in English football

I've always thought this was a common myth, exacerbated by moany cvnts like Klopp, can't find stats to confirm or deny though

I just assumed it would be sky, can always hope C4 get on it Edit: oh dear England’s cricket Test tour of Pakistan at risk of television blackout | Cricket | The Guardian

It's really not bad at £20. You say £12 is acceptable but are people going to not go over £8 difference? When you factor in travel, drink costs etc it's a drop in the ocean £30 cap for prem away games might be stunting people's view somewhat Villa is completely different when it's nearly £100 to go to a single game

Really looking forward to the Pakistan series if last one is anything to go by. Timings are quite nice as well, 7am start our time?

Madness they've picked it as the neutral ground as well, surely just have it in the UAE like Pakistan did when their home grounds weren't an option

Have you not been to a Leicester away before? Often have vast swathes sitting down near the front, coach 1 ultras

Loads left

Constructive comment

Not dynamic pricing related but Villa have released their CL home ticket prices today, oosh

Personally got nothing against teams from lower leagues trying to get some cash when drawing us, £20 is a bit high but hardly extortionate

We have the catchment area easily, problem is the club are trying their utmost to turn away new fans with single ticket pricing and the insane number of hoops you have to jump through to even get to said stage

Eventually they get too greedy and people start to shun it, see Cheltenham and Lord's on Sunday v Sri Lanka. Yet to see it in football however, there's always people queueing up to take your place who are willing to pay whatever

This is one of the most basic posts I've seen on this forum

Hill on a torrid run of form

Still after one for this

After the £25 season ticket debacle I will never be buying anything within the stadium ever again

no pressure lads

worked well

Walker opening?!
