Yes the club hopefully are more tactfull.Are you talking about the Club’s policy of requiring people to either attend or try to resell their ticket for 10 or more out of the 19 games.
As Eccles Blues says, the Club would probably take a more tactful line than me but I disagree with a season card being held so a rag or dipper can go in the home end at the Etihad, once per season.

As to te last bit, what the fuck has that got to do with not attending as a blue?
Many over 75 are clueless as to using a website and can barely do email.
Will they balls, then Khaldoon will talk memorising and eloquently in a few weeks and everyone will be wetting their knickers. It shouldn’t be a surprise though, they are businessmen who have pumped money in. I appreciate in the grand scheme of things it means more to us than them but we aren’t a charity either. Continuous increases, superleague etc fans aren’t really at the forefront of their thinking. We aren’t ran any differently to other teamsI hope this latest season ticket renewals thread makes the club reflect on the continual season ticket price increases and the unhappiness amongst the fans about them. The previous threads have clearly been ignored by the club. We'll find out at the end of next season if the club has taken any notice and remembers this thread?
Good point. I see that often yet still empty seats all over the shop. They are clearly seats sold but not used.I think your post is very ageist and there’s many people over 75 who are very good on email and social media.
We’ve got an unsustainable situation at matches where thousands of seats have been paid for and are neither occupied or listed for resale. We sell out the tiers of seats that away teams don’t use so there is clearly substantial demand. I don’t see the harm in the Club’s staff ringing up or writing to these season card holders and seeing what the issues are. If there isn’t a good explanation then make the season cards available to people who will use them frequently.
Some will be seats never put up for resale. Some though will be seats put up for resale, but when the 1 or 2 tiers go on sale a lot of fans would rather buy those than the resale ones. Partly that will be price but I think the biggest reason will be they can buy tickets together where a lot of resales are singles or if you are lucky doubles at best.Good point.

Sell the singles at half price......they'll go and better than giving them away or being empty.Some will be seats never put up for resale.

Maybe, but you still need fans that first want to go on their own and 2 are price concious so haven’t already bought a single. There may be some but not enough to fill all the single seats dotted about.Sell the singles at half price......they'll go and better than giving them away or being empty.
We always think that Khaldoon has taken note with his end of season interviews, as his words make out that core supporters are very important to him. Then we get a price rise again the year after, and the year after that, and the year after that, and the year after that…I hope this latest season ticket renewals thread makes the club reflect on the continual season ticket price increases and the unhappiness amongst the fans about them.

slightly off topic on your comment but what is the current limit on listing on the exchange? Are city focusing on those or over-use it?Season ticket holders who didn’t attend (or failed to list tickets for resale) for 10 or more Prem games are being contacted by the Club’s admin at the end of the season. Those without a proper explanation might have season cards withdrawn or be given a final warning.
I think the focus is more on persuading fans in this category to switch to match day membership etc. I would just stop these people from renewing but that’s me.
It may be the person who owns these tickets has put them up for sale on the OS which, if I remember correctly, gets round the minimum attendance rule.They know don’t they? I thought there was a record of when the tickets are used because didn’t they say the season before lockdown that if you missed x number of matches they might take you SC off you. Or am I misremembering something from a meeting I was at where it was suggested.
I have had to put my ticket on the exchange for the last two matches (mainly because I was under the impression that if my seat was empty too often I might lose it) and it sold within hours of me putting it on. I put the Newcastle Utd on this morning at 11.15 and had an email at 12.45 to say it had sold!
I appreciate it could be because it is on the front row of CBL1 to the right of the away dug out but it has amazed me how quickly it has gone.
@Tim of the Oak I appreciate what you are saying about wanting people to always list their tickets but at present I could be feeling well enough to go on one day but not the next which effectively means I might wait until the day of the game before I make a decision and then if I can’t make it it is too late to list i5 or even 99% of the time to even give it away. I don’t want to lose my card which is why I am, much against my will, putting it up early. I will not however, under anŷ circumstances put it up for the last home game of the season! If I have to be carried there or in a wheelchair (apologies to those who have to go in wheelchairs) I will be there. :-)
Elon Musk, over herePeople need to stop moaning. City tickets aren't particularly expensive and no nobody is forced to buy them. The club is not a charity and needs to make profits to warrant the owners wanting to operate the business. We all know the cost of operating a business is ever increasing that's why prices always go up and never down, football is no different. If we want success we have to accept that we have to pay for it in some small way. Many of those fans complaining would be the ones complaining if the club failed to sign Haaland, big player money needs financially healthy clubs and that money needs to come from things like tickets prices. I'd prefer to be paying what I do now watching us as Premier League champions rather than the shower I used to watch years ago and paid less for.You can't have your cake and eat it.
