That’s the cheapest adult ticket option at Aston Villa if you want to watch Champions League football this season.
Great deal if you’re a season ticket holder, only £70 per match.

They can charge a maximum of £50 per ticket for away fans. Unfair on the home fans then, surely they could have arranged £50 for all seats.0

Looking at the four English sides for champions league, it's a varied ticket range.Liverpool's home ticket from £30 to £61
Man City from £37 to £62
Arsenal from £74 to £106 (ticket included for season ticket holders)
Aston Villa from £70 to £97

Won’t be troubling us for a while…😏5

Not only do these clubs get a large fortune from tv rights & prize money in the EPL they get an enormous amount for appearing in the Champions league and the also want to gouge their own fan base. I suppose the charge what they know fans will pay to see their clubs play.
Hopefully its something that we won't have to worry about ever.1 -
Is that the "surge" price?4

Just buy an away ticket, they're capped at £50 at all games2

Ticket prices have become crazy in recent seasons. It wasn't so long ago that i remember reading that PL clubs made so much money from tv and sponsorships that ticket money was practically irrelevant.
Yet in recent years prices have hyper-inflated and clubs would now rather sell out the ground to 50k tourists paying way over the odds matchday prices than have 50k local season ticket holders.3 -
I think the broadcasting deals have tended to flatline over the last couple of years, so Premier League clubs are now looking to squeeze their supporters more aggressively. There are also now more American owners, some of whom are looking to make a substantial turn on their investment. As Kieran Maguire says, these individuals look at football through a financial - as opposed to an emotional - lens.They probably don’t care about a number of supporters falling by the wayside, as they feel these ‘legacy fans’ can be replaced by more lucrative tourist fans.3

FWIW, my Cat A safe-standing ticket for the NLD the Sunday after next is £84. Over a season, that works out at just shy of £1,600. Behind the goal, pretty much level with the penalty area line. Absolutely nothing special about it at all.
If I dont pay it, someone else will. I don't bloody like it but I want to watch my team and it just isn't the same watching at home on TV.

I'd pay double that to see Charlton in the Champions League.

Villa avoided a (probable) 10’point deduction for FFP with the last minute sale of a player to Italy (?) on deadline day.
They are skint - from a FFP viewpoint.0 -
People making money out of other people's addictive habit.
It’s hard to quit, eh?
In today’s society the only ways to combat this are:
1. Argue that the ticket prices are bad for the mental health of fans who can’t afford to feed their addiction.
2. Argue that the American owners are legacyfanophobic. Creating a ’phobia’ out of something can illegitimise anything.
3. For fans of the respective clubs to go on a hunger strike or just simply block the roads.
4. For everyone to cancel their subscriptions for pay to watch TV football (what I call Consumer Voting - the only true democracy we have).
Of course, the easiest solution - being that it is within everyone’s power - is the one that our incohesive society would never do.1 -

Yeah, but the more money you pump into sports the better they get .... Yeah? 👍0

The pricing is steep, but I've got to be honest, if Charlton had players like Ollie Watkins, Onana and Tielemans, and I was watching my team against huge historical clubs like Juventus and Bayern, I'd get over it pretty quickly.
I'd find a way to make the money. I'm willing to pay 30 quid for tickets watching mostly, pants players week in week out, against the likes of Stevenage and Northampton, not including travel expenses. I don't even want to think how much I'd be willing to part with to watch Charlton in Aston Villas position currently.0 -

And bollox to all foreign owners in football and in any given country generally. My nine year old would say that all the players, managers and owners have to live at the training ground or stadium together. Sounds mad but less mad than what we have.0 -
If I emigrated I think I'd feel like a stranger in both countries (to begin with).0
