Aston Villa recently shared ticket details for the game against Wolves at Villa Park next month.
They were relayed on Twitter by reliable reporter Ashley Preece, which led to a number of Villa supporters giving their thoughts on social media.
Dean Smith’s side host their Midlands rivals on Saturday, October 16 in a 3pm kick-off.
Villa confirmed it will cost fans £55 for an adult ticket in a Zone 1 area, the Doug Ellis upper (central) or Trinity Road Stand (central).
That’s almost £20 more than the club’s first home game of the season against Brentford last month.
An adult in K3, K4, K5 in the upper Holte will cost £49.50, again, a sharp increase of £16.50 from the meeting with Brentford.
Villa fans react
Preece also shared on Twitter prices for Under-21’s and a cost of a family package for the game next month.
This is what some Villa fans had to say in reply to his post, with one labelling it as ‘outrageous’.
