Aston Villa
When it comes to Champions League ticket prices, the Newcastle United owners haven’t (as yet) gone quite as extreme as the Aston Villa owners did last season.
Aston Villa stunned their own fans and indeed many others in football, when revealing their ticket prices for Champions League home matches in the 2024/25 season.
For non-season ticket holders, Aston Villa charging adult members £85 (adult season ticket holders a minimum of £70) for the very cheapest Champion League seats last season.
Aston Villa released an official response to that criticism from their own fans, attempting to justify the Champions League ticket prices.
The Aston Villa owners blaming Premier League PSR/FFP for the ticket prices.
“We recognise and understand the depth of passion felt amongst fans and their recent frustration around ticket pricing. Achieving our sporting ambitions while complying with financial stability regulations requires difficult decisions.
“Financial fair play (FFP) rules prohibit owners from covering shortfalls to finance this ambition, so we need to generate as much revenue as possible through sponsorships, merchandise and ticket sales to ensure that we can keep the club where it rightfully belongs – competing and winning at the top of English and European football.
“Our priority will always be to match our collective ambition while ensuring that we are able to increase stadium capacity each season and provide the best matchday experience for all our fans.”
