How do you register an interest in a ST? I filled in the survey they sent me and I would definitely by a ST in the cheap areas of the expanded stadium (tight I know but living in Scotland means not being able to get to all games). Does this count or do you need to do something else?
Thanks in advance for any advice. Feel free if you want to take the piss!
Sorry mate, but attitudes like this are precisely why we have so many non attendees at a standard run of the mill league fixture.
As a general rule, if you are unable to attend the majority of home fixtures, or have no intention of doing so, a season ticket isn't for you.
A season ticket is a commitment to attend every home league fixture, if you can't attend a good 15 or 16 of the 19 league fixtures then you should be buying tickets individually.
After the takeover, many people saw buying a season ticket as a guaranteed ticket for the big fixtures, and nothing more. "Buying" a seat. That is an awful attitude, and places obstacles for other blues attending.
The problem which exacerbates this however, is the growing price of individual league tickets at City. For some people, the cost of going to several league fixtures on individual tickets makes absolutely no sense, as often it represents awful value for money compared with just buying a seasoncard, and ultimately, the costs will be comparable anyway.
Typically, people who were once unable to attend the majority of home fixtures - due to proximity to the ground, family, work, cost - would just buy individual tickets with an accesscard or citycard. Now, more of them are deciding that individual tickets don't represent value for money, and they're purchasing season tickets.
At least that's my theory behind the empty seats we regularly see at sold out home fixtures, and I think it's one that is only going to get worse the way our individual ticket prices are going.
Anyway, don't take this as a personal attack mate, I just think that this is a topic worthy of debate.
