Aston Villa announce price freeze on 2018/19 season tickets as commitment to claret and blue army continues
Aston Villa Football Club has confirmed its commitment to being one of the most affordable clubs in the Championship or Premier League, by continuing last year’s Early Bird pricing for the 2018/19 season.
The thousands of supporters that renewed or purchased during the Early Bird window last year will enjoy a price freeze, whilst thousands more that renewed last summer will see prices drop. In the two-month Early Bird period, ending on April 6th, you can become Part Of The Pride for as little as £322 (adults), £69 (U18s), £130 (U21s), £235 (O65s), £320 (students and armed forces) and £644 (family of four).
Villa has also continued its commitment to families and Young Villans. Recognising the pressures presented by the rise in school leaving age, the club has recategorized the U16 price bracket to U18, meaning hundreds of 16 & 17y/o move to a junior price rather than young adult – creating significant savings of up to £91 for families and young supporters.
With the chance of promotion very much on the cards, fans could be enjoying Premier League football from as little as £16.95 per game, or Championship football from £14 per game if they purchase during the Early Bird window. When the 6th April deadline arrives, season tickets will go off sale and then return at higher rates in the summer.
Understanding the demands on its fans, AVFC is determined to make season tickets as accessible as possible. The club has abolished all booking fees during the Early Bird window, bringing further savings to thrifty fans that purchase before April 6th. To help supporters spread the cost, Villa has also signed a deal with Zebra Finance, offering interest free payment options over four or nine months on season tickets. Villa is also introducing an auto-renewal option to allow convenience for fans to buy their season tickets in future years.
As ever, season ticket holders will be privy to a whole host of additional benefits, including free entry to the first home cup game of the season, Pride Rewards, an e-cash enabled season card and free entry into U23 & Ladies home fixtures. Early Bird purchasers will also receive a generous 200 Pride Reward points for online renewal ahead of the April 6th deadline.
Chief executive of Aston Villa Football Club, Keith Wyness, said: “We are very aware of the importance of the claret and blue army.
“We have enjoyed big Championship attendances at home. Villa Park has been rocking and we’ve really got our swagger back.
“The prices in our Early Bird window mean that adults can attend from £14 per game and juniors from just £3 per game.
“That’s if we stay in the Championship but the hope is that we make an emotional return to the Premier League. Even then, with less games in the calendar, our Early Bird prices will be very affordable.”
To make sure you’re #PartOfThePride, purchase your 2018/19 season tickets from www.avfc.co.uk/tickets before April 6th to take advantage of Early Bird pricing and benefits.
