🎟️ Ticket helper
Aston Villa
€58–€101adult, official price, standard league game
🟡 Rules vary
When: Season-ticket holders and members first, then wider sale depending on the fixture.
2026-27: £49.50-£86.50 adult (top teams in the dearer category).
Buy on the official Aston Villa site🏆 European games 💳 Members only
How: Season ticket holders go first (e.g. Mon 16 Nov 9.30am for PSG on 8 Dec), then members ranked by how many 2025/26 European home games they attended (6+ then 3+), then all adult and junior members (Fri 20 Nov 2pm for PSG; Thu 24 Dec for Dortmund on 19 Jan). The club's schedule lists no public sale after that and expects most games to sell out in the members window; a members' ballot exists for members who have not yet been to Villa Park. One ticket per Fan ID; digital only.
€105–€116adult, a European league-phase game (see the note)
Category 2 adult GBP 89.50-99 (season ticket holders GBP 73.50-83), x1.17; the page does not say which fixtures are Category 2. Membership is the price of entry; the club's other article says tickets are 'offered to general sale' only after the priority window.
European tickets on the official Aston Villa siteEuropean tickets are sold game by game, often early, in packages or only to registered fans, and many are sold out by now.
📅 When tickets probably go on sale estimate
- Aston Villa v PSG (Champions League), Tue 8 Dec: members about 16 Nov
Worked out from this club's usual pattern as it is stated above. Clubs change the dates, so treat these as a prompt to check the official page, not a promise.
📅 Add Aston Villa's games and sale reminders to your calendar (a feed that updates itself).
The labels: ✅ Open sale = ordinary league games reach general sale · 🟡 Rules vary = members go first, some games reach general sale · 💳 Members only = a club card or membership is effectively needed · 🪪 = named tickets. They describe the club's usual league games, not one particular match: derbies and big games can be much harder.
Only buy from the club or its official partners. Unofficial resale sites charge far more and tickets can be cancelled at the gate. Prices are a guide and change by opponent; the club's site has the real price.
Want it all sorted?
Hospitality means a guaranteed seat with food and drink, and it's the legal way to a sure ticket for a big game.
