Seasoncard Renewals 2017/18

Not renewing. My 2 seats in 140 have gone up from £405 each in 2010-11 to £615 next season. An increase of over 50% during which time I've received a 0% pay increase!!

We have really turned into Man United, and maybe worse as they've not increased their season ticket prices for 6 years?

Add to this 30 minutes queueing to get into the ground, a shit atmosphere at 90% of games and the ever worsening transport situation after games (which will be several times as bad next year when the no parking zone round the ground is increased) means that having been watching City since 1972 , I'm walking away :-(
That saddens me ....the club is going down the pan .
 
For those rationalising this increase as reasonable and merely in
line with inflation then I would refer them back to the increases
applied in the four years prior to the freeze applied last year when
prices year on year increased way above any inflationary increase

The price increases those years were never merely related to any
inflationary level as they were of course significantly higher

That's keeping the TV increases completely out of the process too!

Player recruitment and wages cost went up more than inflation as well in that period. I don't remember too many fans complaining and saying that we shouldn't be buying players to allow us to seriously compete for trophies.

I suspect that was in order to bring our prices into line with other top teams. I suspect any increases from here on in will be minimal even if unnecessary.
 
It doesn't actually

It does in actual fact, see last paragraph..!

I don't agree that the club are 100% not arsed about the atmosphere. If that was the case, then they would never have worked with 1894 in helping reconfigure the singing section to encompass 115 and part of 114. However, I do believe that different factions within the club want different things and this often leads to a conflict of interests. For example, some bean counter somewhere will have signed this seasoncard price increase off and think they're doing a good job without giving a moment's thought to the impact on the core fanbase and the atmosphere, but at the same time there will be someone in another department that doesn't have a say in ticket prices who will have designs on working with the fans towards trying to facilitate a better atmosphere.
like in all businesses there's different stands/pots of money who don't talk to each other.

As an ex (thank fuck) civil servant one 'pot' can save pennies an it shows a profit even if another 'pot' losses a fortune short term with a projected gain in years to come. We're seeing it at City week in week out.
