More like we spend shitload more than expected on the new ground delay and need to recoup.

Or new groud in london = rip fans off, you and arsenal are not that dissimilar if honest in that regard.

We have enough from of that crap the FA fucking up wembleh cost and have to schlep down for semi finals

Was gonna go but fuck it at them prices

Fair enough, some good points.

You are charging us £50 a ticket we are charging you £60. Home fans are paying between £60 and £98 so it's not like THFC are treating you any worse than their own supporters.

I imagine the powers that be didn't feel they could charge you less than us.

I wish my ticket was only £60 rather than the £75 I am paying.

I agree with you in principle though, modern football fans are treated as a cash cow and they get away with it because of our (perhaps?) misguided loyalty to our clubs.

True, saying that if we had got porto, ajax, juve etc and tickets were £60 I would be buying and not even thinking about it and if others are honest so would they, being just another trip to London makes a higher priced ticket easy to say no to.

At least we are not going barca, £120 for rags fans robbing twats ;-)

If clubs could get away with it and the demand was there I am convinced they would prefer 50,000 tourists spending £100 in the shop than fans who have been going for years and spend nothing. They are not “clubs” in the true sense now, just money making machines.

City tried this shit a few years ago in the Semi against PSG and I and many others came out of the cup scheme on the back of it. Greedy bastards all of em.

Totally agree.

London attracts 100s of 1000s tourists looking for things to spend their money on.
In some of the blocks in the south stand where I will be we have premium-lite seats which cost £2200 for the season for which you get your own bar, a pint, a sandwich and a programme.

Your own bar?
Do they come round and fit it in your house for free?
 
London is certainly getting like Barcelona where tourists can buy a ticket for any match, usually at a daft price but Manchester is not like that. I accept we get tourists wanting the Hugh Ferris match day experience but the club need to very careful about their pricing policy.
I am just glad I am not a Spurs fan as I would think twice about £70, it really is taking the piss at a time when football is cash rich from TV deals.

I wouldn’t think twice. Once would be enough and the end result would be BT sport and a JD and Coke.

Spurs fans are being chared £45 for most tickets, which are the larger tiers level 1 & 3. Only Level 2 is £50, probably 600 seats at most.

The away section at Spurs coveres 4 price categories compared to the same ehome seast yet ony one price, we are not being offered any at £52 like spurs fans are.

Fair enough. I just saw the £50 headline number.

There are very few £52 category A adult tickets for Spurs fans and you can only get them if you are actually sitting with a child. The £56 & £58 tickets are way up in the gods at the back of the top tier. Like for like tickets for Spurs fans compared to away section are between £60 & £78.

Okay fiar enough - had assumed we would get 114 115 116 and 117 and they are not shaded on the plan, and would be £60, £52, £58 and £65, athought some blocks have two prices and there is a redicoulus amount of price categories in the stadium, it is like the old Main Stand at Maine Rd in that respect. I thought rather than offer city fans all four prices they took a round figure in the middle.

Anyway I am not going, I will wait until it is £30 next year, and I think it will be chaos for the first night game there. Also not optimiistic after Liverpool last season, City will play their normal game and Spurs likely to raise theirs like v BD this season or RM last one.
