The Huddersfield game was cheaper and you could buy multiple tickets on one membership.

I’ve managed to get tickets for this, but it’s not easy. You can only buy one ticket per membership. Usually for cup games I’d ask friends and family who don’t have a season ticket, but it’s seemingly impossible to do so.

You can buy 4 tickets per membership

Ticket sales have been weird this season. Last year pretty much everything sold out. Even CL dead rubbers. Whereas this season seems to be a struggle.

Was it the Haaland factor last year or is it now a pricing/cost of living factor?

Would like to know where all those members who hoovered up the Charity Shield tickets are now.

I’m sure Sheikh Mansour isn’t bothered about a few bob missing down the back of his City sofa, but I’d like to think he’d like to know why there are still so many tickets left unsold for the match. And because the club constantly tells us that it wants to increase match day revenues.
 
Remember when we used to discuss keeping the ticket prices affordable so the Etihad WOULD at least be full to roar Pep’s players on to victory.

Sadly you don't increase revenue by cutting ticket prices.

How do you cut FA Cup ticket prices? There isn’t a set price for FA Cup tickets. Certainly not for a FA Cup quarter final home match that is live on TV, before a possible semi-final trip to Wembley. I would have thought the priority would have been to make the tickets affordable, to fill the Etihad, and to make any slight loss in ticket revenue back via a sold out Etihad, including bigger merchandise, drink, food, etc sales on the night?

Let’s hope there’s a final rush this week and the match does sell out. If the match does sell out I’ll eat humble pie and say I was wrong.

An adult and 2 under 18’s, possibly kids, is over £100 for seats in ESL3 and CBL3. I bet lots of parents have looked at buying tickets for themselves and their kids for the match and have regrettably decided not to buy tickets because of the remaining ticket prices.

you are not wrong though, we are told we are in it together, it feels like we spend every day defending the club we love, while the club looks at every opportunity to maximise revenue, we accept football isn’t cheap, but literally every game is a fortune, we have no voice, i would sooner they fuck off the light shows, and cut prices

Even if there is a final rush and this game does eventually sell out, it really doesn’t bode well for the extension. The club have got to implement some serious changes with regards pricing, sales criteria etc. over the next year or two, otherwise we could be back to the days of closing entire tiers down for games like this.

They think the light shows attract more fans!
