Why does someone having a different view to yourself stop you organising supporters groups? Are you just looking for sheep to stand amongst? If you feel that deeply about it do something yourself instead of waiting for someone else to do it.And yet people do try and defend it, hence we can’t organise supporters groups or such like to challenge the club over it. Anybody who dares criticise the club is basically branded an ingrate.

A different outlook? Trying to justify £70 tickets is ridiculous in my opinion and I think the majority of posters on here / in general agree with that.
United's cheapest ST is £532, I don't know the numbers for each level of ST but I highly doubt that the median isn't higher at theirs.
Yes, the price will affect the last 1,000 or 2,000 tickets available(?) but so will the freezing weather and the fact that it's on a Thursday night. There'll be a lot who have paid but just won't turn up.
That’s over £200 cheaper than my season ticket. I stand in 115, which is the singing section. Hardly a great seat. I wonder how much United’s singing section season tickets are?

If that was true then why are there only around 2,000 tickets (maybe, I'm not counting them ;) ) left out of 54,000? What is it, around 20,000 matchday tickets?A different outlook?

You can only judge directly by comparing the median figure, not by comparing blocks and individual seats. If there are such statistics available, then I've never seen them.That’s over £200 cheaper than my season ticket. I stand in 115, which is the singing section. Hardly a great seat.

They must only get let in at around the 75 minute mark, because I heard f-all from anyone outside of our little away section on Saturday.

I said that after the derby. Yet on the TV it sounds like the yellow wall.

OK, knock off £50 for Platinum. Another scam.
I know, City aren't forcing me to buy Platinum, but they've got me by the balls, otherwise I'll start falling behind on my loyalty 'home and cup points', converted via stealth and a great marketing department into loyalty away points.
The microphones are strategically placed at the swamp, and at Anfield, whereas at our place on the occasions we do have a good atmosphere inside the ground it really doesn’t come across on the telly.I said that after the derby. Yet on the TV it sounds like the yellow wall.

Or it's turned down by Sly and BT.
United have frozen their season ticket prices for 11 seasons.
City have increased season ticket prices for 10 of the last 11 seasons.
Nobody is expecting the club to reduce tickets prices. A freeze would be welcomed, especially during this period of austerity and rocketing prices.
But there comes a point, which we’ve now reached, where continually increasing the prices of season tickets and match day tickets becomes untenable for the ex-match going City fans.
Numerous people have posted they wanted to go tonight, and some people wanted to take their kids, the next generation of City’s support, but once they saw the ticket prices they decided not to go as they couldn’t afford the tickets, or they weren’t prepared to pay the ticket prices out of principal. Is this what City really want for our fan base? City fans, including the next generation of City fans, are being priced out of watching City! Because if that’s what City want to happen, they are certainly doing a good job of it.
Let’s see if City increase season ticket and match day ticket prices again next season for the 12th time, after topping the Deloitte Money league once again.
United have 70k plus so can afford to freeze ticket prices we get over 20k less each game son its not viable ! Hope when they extend the North Stand they make it a new home end with ticket prices that reflects this !Lets not beat around the bush City are an absolute disgrace with these ticket prices, hopefully the supporters groups and fans in general will make a big deal out of it.
Of course its viable. You could knock £20 off every single matchday ticket sold for league games and it would reduce our turnover by about 0.6% and reduce our profit by 10%.United have 70k plus so can afford to freeze ticket prices we get over 20k less each game son its not viable !

But with a 60000 capacity would we not get higher income from matchday spending and sponsorship deals, or are your percentages based on the 60000 crowd. Overall I reckon the turnover would be higher.Of course its viable.

The Rags have also reduced food and drink prices, including alcohol in the singing sections to encourage fans to arrive earlier.United have 70k plus so can afford to freeze ticket prices we get over 20k less each game son its not viable !

All well and good but we don't have a crèche.The microphones are strategically placed at the swamp, and at Anfield.

Kids tickets should never be more than their age. We'll regret it in the future but by then, the excel spreadsheet geniuses who are setting current prices to gain an extra 0.8% on the P&L will be long gone by then and the damage will be done.
