Season Tickets - 2023/24

Do you even go to matches? Have you seen how much they fleece fans at every opportunity?

Can’t bring a bag in now so they charge you a tenner to leave it with some scruffy **** in a shed.

Parking is a rip off.

Food and drink is a rip off.

Tickets are a rip off.

Every single opportunity they have to penny pinch fans they do. And it’s not just City, every club is at it, and it’s wrong.

While blinkered idiots like you continue to support their actions, they’ll just keep squeezing and squeezing until there’s no blood left in the stone.

City would be delighted if all the “legacy fan” season ticket holders fucked off and they filled every game with Chinese tourists who are all happy to spend hundreds at a game as it’s a one-off experience.

We all know it.

Sorriano is a fucking **** when it comes to this stuff. Gives no shits whatsoever about fans.

I can afford the increase too. Lucky us. But that’s not the point.

My wages went up 1.1%

inflation is 10%
milk has gone up 58% in 6 months
energy bills are 66% and 129% up respectively

1.1% dont cover the basics, so a 7% increase in a SC, which on it own seems like nowt bit as a whole is a kick in the bollocks from the club and tone deaf towards the current state of the nation and fans daily struggles

anyone trotting out "the best football ever" or "its only a pound a game" is either trolling or intentially obtuse

Yes 70 games this season watching various clubs. Not debating with someone calling a professional man who I have always found decent and done incredible things for our club a ****.
 
I am retired and in my later years so £20 for the season is not a problem.

I do however sympathise with the younger supporters and those with families, I am afraid the people making the decisions do not live in the real world.

Be interesting to see what all the other PL Clubs are doing, does anybody have the figures?

Spot on. The club’s WEEKLY wage bill is around £7m maybe if they can trim this slightly the working class supporter doesn’t end up alienated. Just a thought.
 
Well at least the £70 it's gone up will be saved in petrol, cos I'll have to park in droylsden from next season and walk the rest of the way. F.f.s. they really are try their best to get rid of us Maine roaders aren't they.

It's a choice for some people isn't it? Around 1998 I had a personal cost of living crisis and gave up going to football for nearly10 years, at no point during that 10 years did I expect the club to change their business plan to make football more affordable for me of my family. I just accepted it until I was in a position to start going again. That was just how I prioritsed things.

I will only be there for the home cup games now Meeesh. As a Cityzens matchday member I can’t afford the constant increases in individual matchday tickets, certainly not for the big games.

They’ll probably put on shuttle buses and charge 30 quid for it.



Hang on, there’s a business in that…

Even tax evading cunts like dodgy Bayern board member Uli Hoeneß understand this, ‘We could charge more than £104 [the price of a cheap season ticket at Bayern at the time he said it]. Let’s say we charged £300. We’d get £2m more in income, but what’s £2m to us? In a transfer discussion, you argue about that sum for five minutes. But the difference between £104 and £300 is huge for the fan. We do not think the fans are like cows, who you milk’!

40,000 [season ticket holders] x £60 [the example price rise I’ll use as that’s how much mine has gone up] = £2.4m

Bayern have 15,794 season tickets available at €145 (£127) at the Allianz. They also have thousands available at €350 (£307).

for anyone thinking about cancelling their season ticket, keep hold of it and follow the clubs lead, and pass it on to a third party for extra money, it’s what they do in Liverpool, won’t be long before we have a stadium with 90% tourists. Think of it as an unofficial silver, sell the big games & attend the lesser ones, it’ll pay for itself. Just reading that back makes me sad, but it’s an option for some

more likely 99% will as unlike going to lidl over waitrose for the same standard at half the price, your club is non negotiable and they can choose to accept it or lose seeing them live.

Ssoriano has us by the balls and will squeeze as much out of us as possible.
But we still should moan like fuck about it, as bar worsleys usual take on money and capitalism I ain't seen many poisitve comments on any social media platform, so you would hope someone at the club realises what a stupid idea ot was

Also we are not sad cunts like those FCUM wankers we stay loyal.

I can let you know when we have a ticket available,don't worry about that,because we will have next season,quite regulary,and it'll be at right money as well,same for you @jimharri -let me know when over and I'll sort one for you as well

However here are the rates for the really big games - Utd - £350 - Liverpool - £350 and a title decider game £400,I've got the gas and electric and diesel to get there to take into consideration now :)
