Season Tickets - 2024/25

It's a difficult one as many OAP are better off than young adults and adults in general, by that I mean they'll have more disposable income as they've paid off mortgages etc

I can see them raising age for concessions inline with official retirement age like trains and buses have.

I know OAP’s get discounts off some things but most things you don’t. If the club could get away with it I’m sure they would try and scrap this. They will probably phase it out over next 10 years, just as I hit 65 :-)

Good, it should have never been an option for people to pay for what are ultimately loyalty points for going to games... It's totally distorted the points system for a start.

The original point was platinum hasn't made any difference, but you think it is good that it has even though you disagree with it.

If you just have a ST and don't go to aways and are not on cup schemes it wouldn't make any difference to you, nor has it disadvantaged you, as it only made sense for people who wanted to continue going to aways to get.

I worded it badly. I think the premise of a scheme where someone can pay an extra fee no matter whether they have a £350 season ticket or a £950 season ticket to get double the points on a supposed loyalty basis is ridiculous and always was.

I have a season ticket and did do aways but refused to get caught up in it, which everyone else should have done, however the ones who paid now appear more 'loyal' going forwards. It was the begining of the club taking the piss as far as ticketing imo.

I'm pretty sure that West Ham raised the concession age for senior citizens to 66 a couple of years ago.
I was expecting City to do something similar,but they have refrained from doing so up to now.

3It will make a lot more have a rethink if that increase is to be true, myself included, I will pick and choose, fuck it, not battle through traffic for a 7.30 kick off on a Tuesday against fucking Brentford, I'll join the tourists on picking and choosing, will get a ticket for the big games surely, especially if I promise to buy a half n half scarf, because the tourists seem to manage it ok.

But meesh, the club aren't interested in working class tourists. it's all about those who turn up and spend money in the club store and buy those dreadful half and half scarves. Many only turn up because we're winners taking photos at every opportunity oblivious to the game going on. No wonder the atmosphere is shit sometimes because most day trippers don't know the songs. And it'll only get worse as more SC holders get priced out, unfortunately.

Thats over 10 months and you get a drink, parking, a programme and can apply for away tickets. Bar stays open for about 45 minutes after the game and you can purchase food in the bar too.

What discounts do you get over 65? Obviously you personally don’t get that but I have no idea what the discount is.
 
I think there is going to be a raft of changes to season ticket and match day ticket prices leading up to the new North stand being opened.

City will see this as an opportunity to reconfigure the seating prices across the whole stadium with 1000’s of fans relocating.

This will be City’s final chance to adjust season ticket and match day prices before fans pick their new seats or stay where they are.

I think there’s going to be a few shocks in store regarding future season ticket and match day ticket prices, including bundles, hospitality packages etc, all weighted in favour of the club. I can’t see the fans coming out of this very well at all.

I know, I love it in 105, so I'm staying.

I need to keep Platinum as I'm just about scraping into Anfield and Old Trafford these days.

How long do you think before the club realizes we have the same view as the guys in the Tunnel Club and decides 105 should be corporate too?

It's why I mentioned 104 &106 earlier in the thread
The top half of 105 is padded and I expect, when the new North stand is completed, that the equivalent rows in 104 and 106 will be padded and tickets here will be part of an expanded premium experience
I don't think they can do it directly opposite in the Colin Bell as there's no room left because of Tunnel club

I'm hoping that there will be a backlash against 'Spurs OAP grab' and that other club's won't dare pull the same stunt.

Fingers crossed anyway as I was kind of looking forward to getting a few bob off when the time comes.

Unfortunately there won’t be a backlash - just the opposite. Every ‘big club’ will do it, because that’s what has been agreed behind the scenes. Somebody had to be first, this time it was Spurs. None of them give a fuck about ‘legacy fans’. Truth be told it’s the exact opposite
