Seat Counters - 2023/24

Considering that the Brentford game was sold out last August. How come there's a couple of thousand available now. Surely not all returns from season card holders on exchange. Something isn't right here. £51 is the cheapest now we've sold Brentfords returns in SS3. Far too expensive. Wake up City you are pricing out a lot of fans who want to go but can't pay these ridiculous amounts.

Most are ticket exchange. Pairs in levels 1 &2 may shift ,or singles in prime positions behind the dugout etc.

Most will be unsold singles on the 3rd tier no doubt, which haven't got a cat in hell's of re-selling. The median ST pro-rata cost is around £40, so very unlikely you will see anything under that level and the club getting a net loss after the re-sale.

I was at a meeting where Danny Wilson and Roel de Vries spoke at and they said thousands of tickets are listed on the Ticket Exchange, particularly for less popular games. Thousands more tickets are resold on the Fave Value Facebook pages.

I agree match day tickets are too expensive but many thousands of tickets are resold. Often for well below face value.

It's not even on live UK TV. City should charge whatever the season card is plus a small admin charge especiallyfor gameslike this. .

You mean the resale tickets? While I can see the logic of that, those matchday ticket buyers that bought their tickets early at full price wouldn't be too pleased.

That’s the reason for maintaining a high price, they’re banking on fair weather & a late rush, they’ve literally nothing to lose because they’ve sold the tickets once
 
the club don't do any free upgrade games anymore, surely tomorrow night would be perfect considering the fans have lost a weekend home game due to the club world cup, where we no doubt made a fortune. The disconnect between the club and the price of going is so dis heartening, we should be hoovering up fans, not alienating them, good old FFP

I get your point and it's valid. There's someone at City putting these daft prices on each game who is so removed from reality it's a disgrace. Me and the Mrs have Season tickets. I have taken a days holiday from work so I can attend tommorw as my shift finishes after ko. I'm local a few miles from the Etihad. So no big deal I respect those who travel a long way. For the Copenhagen game for our seats it costs £40 each. It makes no sense. Even at that price £80 for 2 from the same household is a NO from us. Another day's holiday used up too. City need a reality check.

That's the correct answer: "the 3rd tier away end sold out fast as it was £30 tickets". Price it right, you fill the ground. The problem may be, that having priced it so high initially they have to maintain that price level for the re-sales. Also matchday buyers are entitled to return tickets after the game was moved for TV, so lots more coming back at the high price. It's a pity, we're fighting for the title, we absoloutely need a full house shouting us on, with lots of gaps tomorrow it'll be compared to Clanfield, and made to look like the City fans don't care, but they do care, they just can't afford it at £53 with a run of home games. Just see the sold out SS 3rd tier at £30 for proof....
 
Whilst match day tickets are so expensive and so difficult to get hold of for the biggest games, we are always going to have a lot of season ticket holders with absolutely no intention of coming to games like tomorrow. Season tickets should be the preserve of people who want to attend every game if they possibly can, not effectively reserving a seat for the games you fancy.

But how do the club stop it.

Some times there are genuine reasons when season ticket holders can’t make the game, work, ill health, transport issues etc.
 
I know it’s expensive times but these are the sort of prices for tickets on Man City Face Vamue Tickets and Travel:

1 adult 2 Juniors SSL 3 for tomorrow block 315 next to the away fans. £60 for the 3 must have supporter number.

I don’t know how they stop it now. There are plenty of people who will miss games for genuine reasons, I miss some myself, but how many of the thousands of tickets on the exchange for tomorrow night have been put there by people who can’t be arsed with Brentford on a Tuesday night. I’m not knocking the supporters by the way, I understand why they do it, if you haven’t got a season ticket nowadays then forget it. The club have created this mess for themselves.

£87 for those three tickets through the club, + 3 memberships at £75, it’s Brentford on a Tuesday night.

I’ve given my spare ticket away. People will be selling skates for peanuts tomorrow. Loads of factors including expense, transport, kick off time, 3 prem home games in a row, parking regulations and less illustrious opposition affect demand. That said, I only go to watch City and I see Brentford as decent opposition.

have season tickets for the kids, we live too far for them to make the midweek games, of which there seems to be more and more, we will still travel, and get home for 1am for a 5am start for work, the club don't appreciate the effort fans make to watch the team, anyone who doesn't pay 51 quid for Brentford at home won't be criticised by me, obscene prices, it just seems we are contributors to FFP compliance, and not actual pissing in the same pot as City. When Pep or whoever has a moan up, they should look closer to home, greedy as fuck
