Season Tickets - 2024/25

Which is where the American red shirted teams owner's are trying to drive the PL prices. To be fair all of the other owners are not exactly battling to stop it either.
The only solution is for part of the broadcasting deal to be ringfenced to subsidise match tickets. Hundreds of millions watch the PL but the crowd is part of the spectacle. Perhaps the new regulator can help with this. Match-going fans are the lifeblood of the game. I have no problem with corporates but there should always be cheaper tickets for the hard core.
 
Exactly he's talking out of his arse.

Why DO YOU always have to be abusive to fellow forum members?

Can't you engage in a conversation/discussion on the forum without continually being abusive?

You're going on ignore. I've got absolutely no need to read your posts or your replies.

The rule is Your age on August 1st
65 you get the discount


Birthday August 2nd you dont get the discount
However you should get the discount on any cup tickets


Your age on 1st August in the renewal year determines which of the categories below applies to you:

  • Junior (18 years and under)
  • 18-21 years
  • Adult (22 -64 years)
  • Senior’s (65 years and over)
  • Disabled
Please note: On your birthday, should your age take you into a different price category (age band), for home Cup games and Away games, the price you pay will depend on your age at the time the game takes place. So, for example, a Junior who turns 18 during the season will pay the published price in the next category up (18-21 years).
City have applied the age when the ticket is sold not when the game takes place for aways from my experience, not realising there will be a difference for a few people.
 
There's only a very limited number of these tickets.

Since SS3 opened, I’ve not heard of anybody applying for a Value and getting knocked back.

Of course I get that people would rather sit with family and friends.

But considering how many people are struggling for cash these days, I’m surprised they’re not more popular.

They’re incredible value. When I had one in the early years, I was paying less than my mate was for his ST at Rochdale.
 
Then that’s on them, we havent got 650 million fans around the world or planes full from Ireland and Norway flying in every game and I doubt we ever will, our fan base will be more global than that, trouble with that is Burnley on a wet Wednesday night and 20% of the ground could be empty. If Pep stays for 20 years we may have a chance of making the Ethiad a place to visit like Old Trafford is for tourists and I don’t just mean football tourists, if he doesn’t and we drop off significantly like Chelsea seem to have done then I reckon season tickets might start getting issued again, that’s when you know they are struggling.
Maybe the increases are going to be saved up for the dark days to come

The club are building a war chest

Never thought we would use that term again once Swales left

Personally the increase is fuck all to me as it stands but it’s just greed

Next year CL qualification and progression will bring more money than ever before to the club but the fans won’t see any of it really

That is not just at City but across the board

As I say, there's not many of them, I think there's about 250 of them in total. They're not a solution to ticket price increases.
 
The thing with "bench marking" against other clubs is that tickets are too expensive across the entire league. And then what happens when they start benchmarking against similar events? How much is the average big concert these days? £100? In America the average NFL match ticket is $377;

NFL average match tickets
I understand that but when assessing value, it has to be compared against similar. I think the whole leisure/entertainment industry has become very expensive in recent years. It's not just the club, the PL or football.

As much as I would like prices to have frozen, I can't say that I find a season ticket to represent poor value. Each person has to make that evaluation though and some may well disagree with me.
 
Any idea how many flexi-gold will be open to matchday Cityzens @Alex - City Matters
I think the number is around 1,000 in total. Those will be split between a few groups, not least those currently on Silver (who get the choice of Gold or Gold+), including matchday members. As the release says, if they are oversubscribed, it will go on the points of the adult.

I'll add to this in a moment, but I'm against the Gold+ product due to the £150 premium - which we achieved some movement on. Particularly given a lack of new "normal" season tickets. I did make that point, but I'm sorry any of you who want a form of season ticket will have to pay that additional amount.
 
I'm thinking of dropping the cup schemes and having beers and a pie before the game so will probably save me money this season lol
 
I'm in a mess, thought I'd had til may to sort it out. I'd put some aside to renew but has spent it on emergencies and thought I had longer to grab back the missing £500 :( I have to pay for two tickets, and have no income. Staggered along managing til now really, I think this year is d day.. stood in the school pick up queue absolutely gutted. Has those seats since 2003, same view as Maine road. Just need to find it in two weeks. Can't do tye credit option, as no income so fail credit things. I'd ask my sister but at the moment she's a tight arsed bitch. Harsh. But true. Any banks with dodgy locks I can rob ;) :(
I don't think they do a credit check - if you don't pay they just cancel your ticket so they can't really lose.

Also, you can sign up for the monthly payment option and pay off in full before July 1st when 1st payment is taken if that helps.
 
Mines gone up £40, up to £910, thats less than £2 a match increase. In the grand scheme of things its fuck all. It is what it is. CTID
A bit of a strange way of looking at cost. £910! Is not fuck all. Most people can’t afford that.

If it keeps going up by £40 every year are you going to say the same?

It isn't credit so they won't check etc. There is a warning that if you default on the DD to City in the past then may not get the option in future years. Overseas bank accounts may be an issue too.

£910 in one go is a lot. But majority pay with direct debit don’t they? I don’t know one single person who pays upfront. £91 a month is not great but more manageable surely

And don’t call me surely
