Who knows? But I don’t think I’ve ever seen them indicate there is qualifying criteria for anything and then there wasn’t

Qualifying criteria last season was having a membership, qualifying criteria for Madrid tickets was having a membership, which next year will have their highest subscription numbers yet….I think we know where this is going

Gone up £50 = 5 per month. Can't say I it's a hill to die on for me. £1.25 per week and probably still amongst the cheapest season tickets in the PL to watch the best football and best team, but I get it still irks some people. A mate pays £600 for his Preston season ticket. Believe me, he would love to see & experience what I do for an extra £165 per year / £4 per week..

That same argument that you’ve made has been repeated pretty much every season for the last 10 years. Ticket prices have gone up massively over that time.

The club will probably love that you’re trying to justify it. No doubt when they increase it every year for the next 5 you’ll still try and defend it

There are a tiny number of cheap seats in ss3. Those tickets are being used to to highlight how cheap our tickets are. Reality is most of our season ticket and match day prices aren’t cheap
 
There is a light said:
Is there a season ticket waiting list? Supposedly you go onto it when you’re a Cityzen member. My son has never been given any details on this whatsoever, how many people are on it, will there ever be any benefit to being on it etc.

If there is silver season tickets left to sell at the end of the renewal period they will put whatever is left on sale to match day member.

The last 2 season a very small number of seats have been made available but are very quickly snapped up.

Both seasons I had season tickets in my basket, however the issue for is we are a family of 4, the seats available are usually single seats dotted around.

I’ve emailed the club to ask if silver season tickets become available for next season and I managed to purchase 4, can we be relocated somewhere with 4 seats together which would usually be put on sale to buy tickets, as my 4 year old & 6 year old can’t sit in their own.

Not holding much hope it will be a yes but always worth asking the question

Not me fella. Never made a comment on this or any city forum about my season ticket price in the 30 years I have had one never mind the last 10 years. Football isn't cheap, that's just the reality and choice people make as to whether they choose to attend or not

How much was an average adult season ticket in 2013?
 
I can't believe we're potentially on cusp of making history, watching the best football team on the planet, with the best manager in the world, the best midfielder in the world and the best centre forward in the world, and there's talk on here of arranging a fucking protest against the club about ticket prices.

Give. Your. Fucking. Heads. A. Wobble. Fuck sake.

Doesn’t mention anything about new Silvers. It says existing season ticket holders can apply to downgrade to Silver.

Only of mention of completely new season tickets is:

No mention if they may be silver or regular.

With any logic (not that the ticket office use any of course) they will have to be Silvers. Unless they give current Silver holders a window to upgrade after renewals before listing new Golds to everybody else. There'd quite rightly be discontent if new Gold ones were handed out fresh when Silver holders weren't allowed to upgrade.

I think there was an assumption last year that Silvers would be given first dibs at any future Golds. But the club never actually said that and what they’re saying now makes that look unlikely.

But Silvers are still members so at worse, they should still be in with the same shout as a City card member, if any Golds do come up.
 
The club sincerely requests that all season ticket holders try not to die, but if you do die, please inform the club via family and friends, and we will make sure your now SILVER Season ticket will be available to sell on to another City fan. Thank you for your loyalty over the years.


Finally, for the 2023/24 season, we will once again make a limited number of Silver Season Tickets available for existing Season Ticket Members should they wish to change their membership level.

A Silver Season Ticket is a flexible and cost-effective option for attending matches and guarantees a selected seat for 14 home Premier League matches (excludes Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur).

Should any Season Tickets still be available at the end of the renewals window, these will be offered to existing Cityzens Matchday Members subject to qualifying criteria.

This is my take too. When they've looked at the sizeable attendances and loyalty of previous years (including watching shit in the 3rd tier) they've thought surely they'd be happy to pay x and have a successful team if they were happy paying x for watching complete and utter dross. Unfortunately it isn't simple maths and doesnt just work like that.

It's almost like the working class 'legacy' fan is a make-weight until they can be fully replaced by a day tripper.

The club has already effectively replaced me. I decided a while back that I'm not renewing for 2023/24, and have used the ticket exchange more this season than any before.
Going to football isn't what it used to be. It's all geared up for the tourist trade, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that even existing season cards will only be available on the Silver basis within the next season or two, with the "big five or more" games being top price only, and offered to Silver holders for a short period in advance of being sold as part of tourist/hospitality packages.
It's all about the money. That's we'll be fronting the next move for a European Super League.

People are being priced out of the game, using drip, drip, drip increases.

We regularly took in our food from the City Chippy.. one of the lads on the gate once said to our kid “I’m gonna have to take your food off you”.. “You can try” he said.. Turns out the lad was Hank Marvin and hadn’t been told to take food off people :-D

We have Hank Marvin on the gate! times must be hard for everyone you'd have thought cliff would have helped him out.

Agree to disagree on that. It'd be worse for everybody if they threw them in the same pot. Surely the Silver upgrading to Gold would liberate a Silver?! If somebody has a Silver and gets a Gold in the same window a member is potentially missing out on a season ticket.

None of this matters to some people. In their eyes, as long as the team is winning then nobody should care.

Reminds me of when Platinum was brought in back in 2011. We'd just won the FA Cup and the club exploited the feelgood factor by blackmailing our more hardcore fans into paying an extra £50. If they'd tried it for the first time in the summer after Mancini had been sacked then the reaction would have been different.

Don't mean to like that mate but agree with those sentiments. We are getting very close to that thing across the road that we so despised and ridiculed. Pretty much all of my classmates were rags and they never went to a game. There was a uniqueness with City in that most of the fans I encountered went to fixtures and that'll be gone soon too.

I vividly remember my old man mocking Utd when they removed the 'F.C' off the badge. Little did he know a few years later we'd be doing the same.

So we can guarantee it will be Golds sold after all the Silvers have renewed then!
