However it doesn't seem to go to open sale anymore to fans with a 'purchase history' ie: have attended a number of games In previous years, or has that concept simply been lost in the current 'business model' and the club don't care who gets them?
CB L2, my mate who is just 65 has the Copenhagen ticket discounted from £50 to £45 and the Newcastle one is £37.50 from £45.As an over 65 I get my season card discounted to £20 per game for all PL games.
But the same seat is £32.50 for me in a FA Cup quarter final. (£10 for the same competition vs Huddersfield).
Baffling how they come up with some of these ticket prices.
Doubt that very much unless they were to change it for all those currently getting the 50% reduction which would piss off an awful lot of fans. Mind you on reflection they might see it as another way to get rid of FOCs on season tickets who contribute less than other fans. That would be pretty cynical though but suppose can't be ruled out the way the club operate these days.CB L2, my mate who is just 65 has the Copenhagen ticket discounted from £50 to £45 and the Newcastle one is £37.50 from £45.
There’s 3 of us who sit together who will be 65 in May, we were expecting heavily discounted tickets for next season £925 this) but I said to one of them last night I think these cup prices are an indicator of a new policy. Can see a small discount but not the 50% that has been the norm recently.
I honestly think that an over 65 season card (for 19 PL games) will stay at half the price of an adult season card.CB L2, my mate who is just 65 has the Copenhagen ticket discounted from £50 to £45 and the Newcastle one is £37.50 from £45.

I could see our seats (padded ones in CB2) being classed as the same as the 93.20 and Joe’s equivalent in the East Stand (we were in there originally) and given the choice of paying the premium which I think is around £1500 now or moving to the new North Stand when it’s finished.Doubt that very much unless they were to change it for all those currently getting the 50% reduction which would piss off an awful lot of fans.

Just as an aside where do you sit and what’s the annual cost for your over 65 ticket?I honestly think that an over 65 season card (for 19 PL games) will stay at half the price of an adult season card.
It's the various cup competitions (domestic and European) where City don't do a big discount for over 65s.
It's the same at Wembley where the FA give a tenner off full price.
So it's likely that The Etihad will be full of tourists for cup competitions ( it already is on European nights).
It isn't full of tourists on european nights,won't be for cup games either, there are some but nowhere near full. Some of the best atmospheres too so not all bad.I honestly think that an over 65 season card (for 19 PL games) will stay at half the price of an adult season card.

I must be going to a different ground to you.It isn't full of tourists on european nights,won't be for cup games either, there are some but nowhere near full. Some of the best atmospheres too so not all bad.
You must be,yes. Of course not all them phone lights are tourists,many will be younger people that get matchday tickets. Those that can only get tickets for C/L or cup games.I must be going to a different ground to you.
Out of interest who are the thousands of phone lights on Euro nights that are simply not seen on Prem League games?
The thousands watching via their phone? Vlogging?
Don't get me wrong they are filling seats given up by many blues who can't afford it, are maybe sick of it or who hate Champs League so let them come but the atmospheres aren't that great mostly and there are thousands of tourists.
Mostly freebies mate from schools...........loads on 3rd tier where away fans normally are. Pissing about and on phones.You must be,yes. Of course not all them phone lights are tourists,many will be younger people that get matchday tickets. Those that can only get tickets for C/L or cup games.
Not mostly, no.Mostly freebies mate from schools
Have to disagree.......but I've not questioned them all individually so can't really be accurate in my guess work.Not mostly, no.
Im in Colin Bell Level 1.Just as an aside where do you sit and what’s the annual cost for your over 65 ticket?
My tickets were £15 with the Cap, and £35 for those games, which for the latter was steep as it is only half a tie, but some were defending it at the time. That was for SSL1.If I've got my seasons correct we played the dips in a LC semi then a few days later the rags in the FAC, both games I thought were £40 and the dips game wasn't full.
Definitely fully of tourists in SS3 where I sit for Euro nights.It isn't full of tourists on european nights,won't be for cup games either, there are some but nowhere near full. Some of the best atmospheres too so not all bad.
You’re right.Not sure if I'm reading the info incorrectly but pricing appears to have the standard three levels:
1. Season tickets on cup scheme
2. Season tickets not on cup scheme and Cityzens matchday + junior members.
3. All other Cityzens members.
Good value, I’m in the very last seat in level 2 before it’s the Family stand so right above you, hope mine is no more than around £600 coming season.Im in Colin Bell Level 1.
Block 132 ,which is the last block of seats before it becomes the North Stand/Family Stand.
And the cost of my FOC season card this year was £380.
