Aston Villa are facing a backlash over 'eye-watering' ticket prices for their Champions League campaign.

The Midlands club are accused of refusing a request from their own fan board to cap prices for their return to Europe's top competition for the first time in 42 years after they announced adult tickets would start at £70.

Unai Emery's side face four home games in the league phase - against Bayern Munich, Bologna, Juventus and Celtic.

Season ticket holders will have to stump up between £70 and £82 to watch Unai Emery's side, depending on where they sit in the ground, while non-season ticket holders must pay between £85 and £97 – more than £1 a minute.
