Hospitality/box experience at City

I was in one of the boxes against Watford, nice enough food, unlimited beer and wine and soft drinks, nice comfy seats good view, how I got back home is beyond me! It was nice but I actually prefer where I am in 109, it’s more lively
 
Bit of a strange question this I know but has anyone used the VIP parking bit you get when you are in the East Stand hospitality and left straight after full-time? I know the blue car park at the bottom of Joe Mercer Way can be horrendous to get off after the match but wondered about that hospitality car park. I'd imagine most people parked on there would stay for at least one drink or something at the end of the game but not sure if that ls enough to let you get off relatively quickly if you did just make a dash for it!
Yes it's just as bad, best to stay for the hour after full time and let it all clear.

agreed we were in 210 before however we are behind the dugout in those seats and very close to our bench. It's great to see the technical side of what's going on? the tacticians working on the game? it's very interesting.
Plus smashing the unlimited Moretti in a GLASS is a bonus!
 
Just seen a short video from some guy who rates clubs’ hospitality. He went to the Chelsea game and paid £399. For that he got three course meal, booze, half time snack and then a cheeseboard at full time. Seat on half way line. Looked like he was in The Mancunian?

I’ve just looked at our remaining games and the packages are nothing like that. 3 offsite options either at Tast, Gordon Ramsey or Gaucho (what’s the point of offsite?!) and then one at the CFA. I can’t find anything like what this chap had v Chelsea..

I was looking to treat the wife and I came across that too, you could arrange your own food without ordering a package from City.

Funny part is "Make your own way to the stadium" confirming you might as well order your own food.
 
I tried recently to book hospitality for my son and I. Some options not very clear and availability is odd. I was told there was a problem and the club would call me.
Several days later I got a call to essentially say I needed to be a season ticket holder to book anything which I thought odd if you have to pay again.

I give up. It would have been nice.

Whoever you spoke to is talking nonsense. You can go online and book hospitality but lots of it is sold out.

I think the stadium hospitality is now selling out very very quickly indeed. Why wouldn't it I suppose. So the club are ramping up the revenue by teaming up with external restaurants and sometimes marquees in summer to catch as many customers as possible.

Bit puzzling this external restaurant thing though isn't it? Surely people could just arrange to eat there and then as it says on the itinerary, make your own way there.

All city are doing is suggesting somewhere to eat.

Comes with a ticket, without fannying about having to become a member and buying one I suppose.

It’s certainly very strange. I can suggest somewhere to eat for myself, and it wouldn’t be at any of the places the club suggest.

I’d be more than happy to pay £399 for a one off match with hospitality - in the stadium.
 
The offsite stuff is obviously appealing to tourists but I imagine most wonder wtf when they get to the stadium and realise they have normal seats without any corporate element.

I’m sure the flow of tickets that appear for sale on the planner a couple of days before games are one’s City have held back for offsite packages that they sell as match only at the last minute.

Apparently City hospitality is sold out for the remainder of this season and all next
 
The Lucky Cat which is £399 King Street has a 3 course lunch menu available until 6.30pm midweek, so book it midweek and you need to get there at 4.30-5pm and that could be all you get plus one drink free and the rest paid in addition.

The Vermillion £250 for a three course meal, but it is close to the ground and at least you will be able to park there free 3 hours before the game if you wanted to. The set menu is £39.50 but they don't let you book a table before 6.30pm.

One has a mark up on the average season ticket price they are buying back for around £155, the other over £300 based on the set menus, and it doesn't imply you get much choice and get to order the £95 sirloin.
 
Seems to be loads of options for Copenhagen game on the OS.

Looks a different world to my matchday experience, even the cheapest options!

I would suggest Cup games are the way to go rather than PL fixtures which as some have found out are booked yonks in advance.
