• Tickets for Aston Villa matches are released shortly before a game. So your Villa resale tickets may come by email within 48 hours of the fixture.
• As part of Villa Park’s push towards becoming a contactless stadium, AVFC tickets will be digital
• You will use NFC (Near-Field Communication) tickets via your Apple Wallet or Google Pay wallet. This has reduced queue times at Villa Park, but you need to make sure your phone is charged and the wallet is open when you reach the turnstile

If you’re purchasing resale football tickets for Aston Villa for the first time, we’ve got some handy tips to help you through the process.

• Review the terms and conditions on the resale website to prevent any issues
• It's common to receive AVFC resale tickets within 48 hours of kick-off, so don't worry about last-minute deliveries
• Familiarise yourself with a resale site's refund policies to avoid complications if you can't attend the Villa match
• The name on your resale Aston Villa ticket might differ from yours, but it will still work at the turnstile
• Reach out to resale marketplaces via email or WhatsApp if you have any concerns about your ticket
• Expect Higher Prices: For major matches, resale Villa tickets may cost more than their original face value

Following on from that last point, let’s go into more depth about the price of tickets for Villa games on both the secondary and primary markets.

As we mentioned earlier, the price of Villa tickets on resale ticket websites has a lot to do with supply and demand. This is why Aston Villa ticket prices can differ a lot from match to match, as the opponent is often a key pricing factor.

So, it may be tough to track down cheap Aston Villa vs Liverpool tickets. Still, you may find lower prices if the game is taking place on Tuesday evening against lower-table opposition.

Here are a few strategies to save money on secondary market Villa tickets:

• Plan ahead and purchase your tickets for the AVFC game as soon as they become available on resale websites
• Consider sitting alone, as individual Villa seats often have the lowest prices
• Opt for midweek Villa matches for more affordable tickets
• Be flexible with the opponent—games against less popular or non-derby teams typically have lower demand

We have published a handy guide to secondary ticket marketplaces. For now let’s see how tickets for villa games are priced on official channels.

Going through the Aston Villa box office, adult tickets for Aston Villa games will cost between £44.50, in the corners and behind the goals, and £92 on the halfway line in the Doug Ellis Stand.

The Match Category (A or B) plays a big role, and we’ll talk about it further down this page. For reference on these locations, we have a complete guide to the Villa Park seating plan.

There are significant discounts on tickets for AVFC games if you’re over the age of 65 or under 21. These concession tickets are £39 to £92 in the same sections mentioned just now.

The cheapest Aston Villa ticket for a child aged 15-18 is £22, and this drops to £13.50 for children under the age of 14.

We should point out that primary market Villa tickets are like gold dust, and most matches sell out.

First off, the club is riding the crest of a wave. Aston Villa finished 4th in the 2023-24 season, qualifying for Champions League football. While we’re on that topic, why not browse our choice of Champions League tickets.

Domestically, Aston Villa have at least 30,000 Season Ticket holders. In a stadium holding just over 42,000 this puts a squeeze on the number of tickets available for any Aston Villa home game.

Read on for more insight into the process of buying general admission Villa tickets through official channels.

The price and availability of an Aston Villa home ticket is affected by the opponent, broken down between Category A and Category B:

Category A Teams

These include local derby opponents and top Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Wolves, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United.

Keep in mind that it may not be possible for AVFC Members to buy tickets for some Category A games unless they have a history of attending matches at Villa Park with their membership.

Category B Teams 

This is everyone else, and as a rule of thumb includes mid-table, lower-table and newly promoted Premier League teams.

Now we’ll show how and when these tickets are sold.

So, roughly a month before the fixture there will be three main sales windows if you want to get AVFC tickets on the primary market. Villa match tickets are sold on a first come, first served basis in this schedule:

• Week 1 - Aston Villa’s Claret Members are first in line with a week-long window
• Week 2 - AVFC Season Ticket holders have an opportunity to buy additional tickets
• Week 3 - tickets for AVFC home games go on general sale for non-members

We should restate that the biggest matches at Villa Park will never go on general sale. And now we’ll look into the process of getting tickets for AVFC away games.

Going through official channels, getting football tickets for Villa away matches is a different process and becomes much more difficult.

It’s all down to the small allocation, which will never be more than 15% of an opponent’s stadium capacity or 3,000 for stadiums seating more than 30,000. Due to this, AVFC Season Ticket holders are the only ones with a chance of buying tickets. Starting four weeks before the fixture, we’ll explore the normal order of sale:

• Day 1 - AVFC Season Ticket holders who attended all 19 away games in the previous season
• Day 3 - AVFC Season Ticket holders who attended 15+ away games in previous season
• Day 5 - AVFC Season Ticket holders who attended 11+ away games in previous season
• Day 8 - All other AVFC Season ticket holders

Now we’ve looked at general admission tickets, in the next section we’ll assess your options if you want a more luxurious, VIP experience at Villa Park.

It depends on the lounge so it’s best to enquire in advance. In general the dress code is smart-casual, but will be strictly smart in the high-end dining lounges at the top of the list above.

So now we’ve looked into the process of buying all kinds of tickets for Villa matches, it’s time to delve into matchdays at historic Villa Park.

Matches at Villa Park can be the ticket for a family day out thanks to the dedicated Family Fun Zone in the Academy Building on Witton Lane, north of the stadium. Packed with things to do, this space is open two hours before kick-off. We’ll see what’s going on:

Yes, the flagship Villa Village store is open on matchdays before and after kick-off. You’ll find it in the North Stand car park, and this is also the place to go for in-person ticket enquiries on the day of the game.

Villa Park’s away allocation was about 2,900 for the 2024-25 season. This can vary according to the opponent, and can be reduced for derbies when the club anticipates rowdier supporters. We cover this topic in more depth in our guide to Premier League away allocations.

As we’ll show below, the away section at Villa Park is in the north-east corner of the longside Doug Ellis Stand. In Blocks Q and P, the allocation is spread across the lower and upper tier respectively. You can enter via the turnstiles Q91-Q96 for the lower tier and P87-P89 for the upper tier.

• There are no away pubs around Villa Park so it’s best to use Birmingham City Centre for pre-match meet-ups and drinks
• Turnstiles Q96 and P89 stay open until the second half if you arrive late
• The club will not sell alcohol during local derbies (Birmingham City, West Brom)
• The visitors’ ticket office is open by the coach park Witton Lane from 90 minutes before kick-off
• Avoid bringing any kind of bag with you to Villa Park

Younger Aston Villa fans are able to get in on the action with two age-specific membership packages. These are Villans, for kids aged 12-17, and Cubs (3-11).

If they can’t get to a game, AVFC Season Ticket holders are encouraged to make their ticket available for other fans.

Unlike many Premier League clubs, Aston Villa doesn’t offer a Ticket Exchange service, but there is a function on the ticketing page, under Personal Details.

Here you can request to resell a ticket, which will be made available at face value, calculated at 1/19 of the price of the seller’s season ticket. If the resale goes through, the seller receives 80% of this ticket price. Here’s a typical transaction:

• Zone 4 Adult Season Ticket price: £640
• Value of individual match within Season Ticket (1/19): £33.68
• Price paid to AVFC ST holder once resale completed:  £26.94

Next we’ll address some general questions that often come up about the Villans.

The name comes from the part of the Lozells area where the club was founded. “Aston Villa” was the name of a Georgian house that once stood at the corner of Lozells Road and Heathfield Road. In 1850 the Aston Villa Wesleyan Chapel was founded near the house. A cricket club was founded here in 1872, and the football club followed in 1876.

No, Villa Park was not Aston Villa’s first home. The club’s first official ground was Wellington Road in Birmingham’s Percy Barr area. The club played there from 1876 to 1897 when they moved to Villa Park.

Birmingham City are Aston Villa’s main rivals, and the two clubs face off in the Second City Derby. This game has become less frequent in recent years, with Birmingham City stuck in the lower divisions. The other big rival for Villa is West Bromwich Albion, and the two teams face off in the West Midlands Derby. A little less contentious are Villa’s match-ups against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Coventry City.

The Villans, and this comes from the “Villa’ part of the club’s name. A less common Villa nickname is The Lions, which comes from the lion on the club badge, chosen by two early Aston Villa administrators and players, William McGregor and George Ramsay.

The Villans’ successful period in the late Victorian and early Edwardian era. From 1886 to 1914 Villa were the top football team in England and maybe the world, winning the top division (Old First Division) 6 times and the FA Cup 5 times. Villa last won the cup in 1957, but this could be their year, and you can follow their progress with FA Cup tickets.
