Looking for how to get Aston Villa tickets? Well, look no further, as we've got the complete lowdown on how to get to Villa Park for a match.
The Villans are one of English football's most historic sides, with a European Cup in the cabinet and legendary figures throughout their rich past. Ranked at No.90 in FourFourTwo's Best Stadiums in the World list, Villa Park is one of the country's great grounds, too: an old-school icon of renowned architect Archibald Leitch, which was used for the '66 World Cup and Euro 96 – not to mention countless FA Cup semi-finals over the years. These days, it's firmly one of the hottest Premier League tickets – and Europa League tickets, thanks to Conference League qualification.
Aston Villa hope to renovate this beautiful old ground into a 50,000-seater as the Midlands outfit continue their ascent. But for now, it's still a fantastic day out and one for any groundhopper to tick off the bucket list. Here's FFT's ultimate guide of how and where you can get tickets, to find yourself singing Hi Ho Silver Lining with the rest of the claret-clad faithful. It's simply one of the best football tickets in Britain.
How to get Aston Villa tickets for Villa Park
“Aston Villa is a rite of passage for any football fan in this country – claret-supporting or otherwise. I love Villa Park as a venue and the atmosphere that the old ground can still conjure is magical: the last time I went, Philippe Coutinho was brought off the bench for his debut for Villa, with the crowd inspiring a comeback from two down to grab a draw with Manchester United. My tip is that if you’re driving, watch out for that inevitable traffic if you’re coming off the M6. Sounds basic but plenty fall victim.”
