Yahoo News Aston Villa's 'outrageous' 2024/25 ticket prices slammed by FSA
Aston Villa fans have been voicing their anger at match-by-match ticket prices for the 2024/25 Premier League season.
Games are split between Category A and B fixtures, with four price zones across Villa Park. The cheapest adult ticket for an individual game, which is a Category B match in price zone four comes to £44.50.
The most expensive ticket for Category A matches in the '1888 Seats' is £92, while tickets in price zone one seats for Category A fixtures come in at £78. Tickets for category one games have increased at roughly 15 per cent on last season, while prices for Category B matches have increased by around 10 per cent.

In a statement, Villa said: “Season tickets for the forthcoming 150th-anniversary campaign are in hot demand. Our General Admission Plus (GA+) and hospitality options are now the only way to fully guarantee your seat for this historic season, which includes Champions League football at Villa Park for the first time. Thank you once again for your fantastic support!
"The next best way to watch Villa on home soil at Villa Park is via match-by-match tickets, with official members given priority access ahead of the general sale as well as a host of other benefits 365 days of the year."
There has been backlash to the ticket prices, with match-by-match adult ticket prices in seven of the 15 blocks in the Holte End costing as much as £72 for Category A games. Last season, fixtures against Arsenal, Newcastle, Manchester United, Tottenham, Wolves, Chelsea and Liverpool were classed as Category A.
The Football Supporters' Association wrote on X: "Simply outrageous matchday pricing from #AVFC. This is well past unaffordable."
Villa fans have been having their say on social media too, with one saying: "£1,080 for all 18 home league games is crazy then add in cup and CL and the price mounts quickly. Not cheap following a EPL team anymore."
Another supporter added: "Ouch! Made every game bar 1 last season as a Member. I go with my Dad and already talking about being more selective to also afford CL matches." A third wrote: "Absolutely ridiculous, these prices are a scandal."
