Aston Villa face criticism over Champions League ticket prices

Club defends decision, saying prices are in line with other major European clubs

Fans argue that prices are too high and will make it difficult for them to attend games

Aston Villa have defended their decision to charge high prices for tickets to their Champions League matches, despite criticism from fans.

The club announced that tickets for the group stage matches will start at £59 for adults and £29 for children, while prices for the knockout stages will start at £79 for adults and £39 for children.

Some fans have argued that the prices are too high and will make it difficult for them to attend games. They have also pointed out that the club's Premier League ticket prices are already among the highest in the country.

However, the club has defended its decision, saying that the prices are in line with other major European clubs. They have also pointed out that the revenue from ticket sales will be used to improve the team and the stadium.

It remains to be seen whether the club's decision will have a negative impact on attendance. However, it is clear that the fans are not happy with the high prices.

Only time will tell whether Aston Villa's decision to charge high prices for Champions League tickets will be successful. However, it is clear that the club is taking a risk by doing so.

If the fans do not attend the games in large numbers, it could have a negative impact on the club's finances and reputation.
