It was my first visit to Villa Park yesterday and it is a great stadium to visit with a good view of the pitch from the top of the North Stand. However, the gents loo area could be larger and the football on the pitch needs to be improved, else I would have given 5* |

Home of lions. Perfectly easy access by bus. Ticket prices are fair for a premier league club! Very family friendly environment,I had seen no issues on my past 4 visits. Definitely, you must be part of the game of you live nearby to Villa Park! |

Proper old school stadium. Came as a visiting fan and found it welcoming and organised. Got a good sense of the history of the Villa and the crowd/ground creates a super atmosphere. |

Absolutely terrible organisation skills, have only visited once and would confidently say I will not be returning. Constantly passed from pillar to post when asking for directions to seats, no one has any idea of food/drink rules and when you have mobility issues, walking up and down so many flights of stairs is less than desirable. If I could give negative stars, I would... |

I came to the villa park to see the P!nk concert and I must admit I was not very impressed with the service. You ordered your drinks through a machine where you could only get them from one place. The wait after ordering in drink to getting the drink was about an hour. On arriving at the bar the beer was warm, the pints were not poured correctly so you ended up with 3/4 of a pint. The staff did not seem to be able to perform under pressure and didn't know what the other one was doing. It was completely poorly managed and quite frankly put a dampner on the whole experience as ended up missing elements of the concert whilst waiting for ages to get the drinks. It's not even like you was able to think sod it I won't bother as you had already paid the money. |

What a wonderful stadium, sheer class. Ease of access within the stadium, good facilities throughout and in good working order throughout. Good security within the stadium and also good communication with staff. A great atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression, thank you. |

Nice big football stadium.<br>Visited it with friends to watch my team Luton Town fc.<br>If you have upper tier seating you are blessed with no bar.<br>So lower tier seats if your a drinker. |

After games I tend to talk to two guys who stand on North stand reception, Dennis and Derek literally are both exactly who all staff that work at villa park should be like. They are kind, caring and have time for everyone always go above and beyond for people. They both deserve credit and should be commended for their efforts |

A historical football ground, not many are left anymore. A football club full of history, not many of them left anymore. A club with the 8th biggest following in English football.<br>It's worth seeing even if you're not into football. It's a really breathtaking place. |

I went for the P!nk concert and the concert itself was absolutely amazing and couldn't fault it. However, the organisation at Villa was absolutely abysmal, staff just stood there, not directing people. Queues for drinks was absolutely horrendous and so unorganised as they sold out of everything by the time you got to the counter. They were extremely unprepared for the sheer volume of people. |

The home of Aston Villa Football Club. Parking is always a nightmare as expected but the atmosphere is awesome. Good to have a stroll around outside the ground have a mooch at the history and in the merchandise shop before a match. Good food and drinks stalls outside the ground at a cheaper cost |

Villa Park is favourite away ground in England - there has been a great atmosphere every time that I have visited.<br><br>Unfortunately, the facilities for away fans in the Doug Ellis stand are poor - in the upper tier there is just one very small refreshment bar staffed by just 3 people which is totally insufficient for the large number of fans housed in that section. In addition, alcohol is not sold to away fans.<br><br>I felt that it was very considerate that most of the Villa fans left the ground about 10 minutes before the end (just after Swansea's 3rd goal), which meant that the streets around the ground and Witton station were not crowded as we left ;) |

Went for a concert. Not enough staff for how many people there were. Ticket and bag checks were not well organised. View was excellent but the sound quality was not the best. All of the steps were very steep and there were not enough toilets or food places for how many people there were. |

Visited Villa Park for a marketing exhibition and conference. There were many other conferences on on the same day but directions were clear. Staff were helpful. Premises were lovely, very modern and clean. Can't say I'm the biggest football fan but it was a pleasant experience. The event itself was average but that is not a reflection upon Villa Park. Quite a bit of parking on site, as well as shops nearby. |

Had to collect tickets for pink. Got told to go to two different places to collect tickets. Some members of staff didn't know where the box office was. It took 30 mins to actually get them. Once got the tickets we queues up had the get the party started party hospitality and once got inside staff members did not know where this was so that took about 15 mins to get sorted. Also ticket said gate opens at 4:30 but didn't actually open until 5pm. Once in the hospitality that was very disappointing. One free drink and you are only allowed to go up once for food. The whole thing just wasn't great. I have been to Wembley and done the hospitality there and it was unlimited drinks and different options for food and deserts. Won't be going to aaton villa again<br><br>Pink was amazing but everything else wasn't |

Went to the villa shop today, and yesterday, we just can't keep away 😂. Today was the icing on the cake, as we had to stop driving into the car park to let the villa players pass us in their cars. O. M. G, what a bonus, had some lovely smiles off them. Anyway.... Back to business. Villa shop was as busy as ever...... Nothing new there. There were plenty of staff available for help and advice, and they were all so friendly. There was nothing out of place or untidy, it was absolutely spotless. Everything about the shop was first class. My daughter and I, and my grandsons Noah and Joeb, went home very happy indeed. Only the best, from the best 😘 UP THE VILLA, You made our day, thank you so much. Xxx |

P!nk was amazing! A great performance! Venue was appalling. Facilities were tired and dated, queues were outrageous, couldn’t get refreshments, staff had no idea, we had disabled people and they kept sending us in different directions and had to walk miles out of the way. Merch stands were limited and hard to access, asked to go on the pitch with my disabled daughter as that was nearest and was refused and sent up the stairs in crutches and to the outside of the stadium, yet later they were just letting anyone in , I saw one woman say she just wanted merch and she was allowed entry… that’s discrimination! Virtually front row seats and they were restricted view as they weren’t tiered enough - all you could see was the backs of the standing crowd! Unless you stood up which is impossible with disabled persons.. !<br><br>As for the park and ride, that was atrocious, queues and queues of people, no disability line who had to stand forever, in the end someone let us in the queue… we were told the car park would be ok until all coaches back, only to find (and there were several coaches after us), that the advertised car park had shut on our return with our car and others locked inside!). No one willing to help, events team left us stranded and were too concerned on getting back ! A coach driver tried to help, but nobody else seemed interested, even the police refused to help ! We didn’t actually leave because of all this to 2am, getting home at 6.30am<br><br>Never again Villa Park, not only all this but bags weren’t searched, for some people tickets weren’t even checked, and queues to get out were simply dangerous…. I question when is it someone will realise that the risks are simply too high for this venue!!! Zero stars from us! |

Awful stadium!! Came to see p!nk who was incredible but the stadium it’s self is shockingly bad! One bar for the whole side of a arena which meant hours long queues to get a drink, literally saw one woman pass out in the queue it was so bad, finally get near the bar and it’s chaos and every man for themselves no organisation whatsoever! Staff awful, toilets awful, security awful! If I could give it zero stars I would and definitely won’t attend another event here I’ll travel further next time .<br>Ed Sheeran at etihad last year put this venue to shame |

Up the Villa! Always a great experience and love to see the improvements this season (from more choices on food and beverages and speedier ordering/ less queuing with the new ordering system). Most important of all, the action on the pitch has been great too. In Unai we trust! |

Travelled from Northern Ireland to see Pink. She was phenomenal! Stewards who looked after entry and seating etc were excellent however the same can't be said of those who organised the service of food and drink. It was a complete shambles and had a massive negative impact on the experience of my party and everyone I spoke with there. We queued for drinks for over 1.5 hours, missed the Scripts full set, and ended up with 4 bottles of water. In fairness by the time we got to the counter we were glad of water! Several people had fainted in the queue waiting so long. Considering the fact this was a fully ticketed event and the price of the tickets this was truely abysmal service. There appeared to be no organisation, the staff didn't know how to pour pints, there was an unbelievable amount of on tap drink being poured down the sink due to the foam from poorly set gas levels and inexperience of bar staff. Your poor staff are definitely not paid enough to receive the amount of abuse they got from hot, thirsty, hungry and extremely frustrated attendees. I'm sure management are receiving a massive influx of complaints this morning and no doubt they are justified, you need to have a serious review of this aspect of your events- just shocking!!!!! |

I attended Villa Park for the P!nk concert the show was fantastic and the venue was ok, good lay out and couple of bars for drinks although £16 for a pint of lager and 2 bottles of water is very steep and food looked nice but at £6.50 for a portion of chips I wasn't prepared to find out, the organisation by the event staff however was woeful after being told to join a queue by a member of the staff we were forced to wait around in the blistering heat about half an hour after the doors were meant to be opened with zero explanation as to why the delay when i asked a member f staff (who had event manager on his high viz) i was told "dunno mate technical issue?"<br>Finally the doors were opened and we started the very long drawn out process of trying to get through the security check post which was only taking a long time because the staff couldn't work the ticket scanners, got into the ground after arguing with a member of staff because the queue they had told us to join was the wrong queue, once inside the stadium we couldn't purchase any merchandise as the stands were on the pitch and due to us being in the stands we weren't allowed down there?<br>to cap it off the female WC's were so overrun they had to convert the gents for female use with out stopping gents from going in to use the urinals very odd!<br>I'm sure for football is decent but as a music venue i'd avoid |

Penned in with no legroom, poor service from catering staff with a product that was supposed to be hot. Was going to be a 1 star review but for the chief female steward (sorry, I didn't get her name) who went out of her way to help us out.<br>Pricewise, for premier League the tickets were not expensive, but the view below would've been appalling. Not the best experience. |

The ground is a little shabby. The space behind the stand is more a tunnel than a concourse. The traffic after the game should be better managed. Sat in gridlock for an hour trying to get on the Aston Expressway. 5 stars for letting us take away 3 points though! |

Attended the Villa v Chelsea game, which was the 1st game with a limited number of fans allowed in during 2020. Well sign posted for the gate to enter. Queing system for toilets, to ensure social distance. Seated in North stand upper with good views of the game and the famous Holte End. For only 10000 fans there was a great atmosphere. Under normal circumstances the ground has good bus and rail links from Birmingham and also options for parking. Food stalls can be found along Trinity road and North stand car car park. Inside the ground plenty of options to buy food and drink. Purity Ale is good. As expected prices are higher but affordable. |

Took daughter for her 3rd game today.<br>Couple of hours in the free funzone pre-game.<br>Plenty of places to buy food and drink both inside the ground and outside - not cheap so usually eat beforehand and just take a few sweets and a drink in (no lids, sports drinks allowed)<br>Facilities ie toilets are good and kept clean, plenty of stewards around to help if needed and even better it's home to the best football team ever!! -Might be a bit biased about that though. |

Public transport links are great for getting to the stadium. In stadium food booths are pricey, best to get something on the way to the ground. Toilets are alright and leave a hour or so to get out of Birmingham after a match day if you are travelling by car. |
