I'm hoping this is something we consider seriously next season having secured our status again. This year even a £1m counts for FFP and budgets, given the spending me needed to bolster. Next year, no chance.
Not a season ticket question, but this was the only ticket thread I saw on the first few pages here.
I'm coming out to the UK to spend Christmas in Wales with the wife's family, and will be flying into London on the 19th. I was planning on making the trip up to Villa Park on Saturday the 21st for the match against Southampton and was trying to figure out tickets for my brother and I. I noticed that to buy on the Villa site, you have to wait a couple weeks to buy on general sale, with the other option to buy the "Claret Membership" which allows priority in purchasing tickets.
My question, is it worth buying this membership so I can ensure tickets? Or will it be relatively easy to get 2 tickets to a holiday period match against Southampton?
Appreciate the help/suggestions

The Claret membership does give you a step up in the queue, coming in after the ST priority and ahead of the general sale. I think it's about £35, quite steep for a one-off game. But if you don't mind paying effectively £65 per ticket, then do that to be certain of tickets.
As long as you're available to buy online os soon as the general sale window opens, you should be fine. But if you are not, as long as we're not bottom of the league by then, you might struggle even the following day.

Sir Dennis is going to spontaneously self combust at this news .
Choo choo.
That's a big difference isn't it.
Not the decent deal it appears then .
And despite the total and utter dullness and absolutely despair at goodness knows how many seasons now (early days of John Gregory if I'm totally honest) I've renewed.
