I get they want to boost revenue, but I think it’s so short sighted. I don’t understand the end goal.

You can see it at city, not many younger people are going to premier league home games and in other stadiums there’s empty seats. We’re going to end up with generations of fans not going to games.

Where did I say there wasn’t corruption in football? Stop deflecting. The fact is that you said on here some years ago that you didn’t give a shit about the Champions League and wasn’t going to attend any of the matches. I even challenged you on that at the time and asked you what if we get to the final. You were adamant that you wouldn’t go, yet here you are having the bare-faced cheek to admit that you were in Istanbul to see us win it.

Just shows that you were a lying **** all along on that doesn’t it? ;)

Ok mate. Why are you so angry?
Really enjoyed the champions league final by the way.
You can go and have a cuddle with your liverpool,villa, rag supporting mates instead of making representation to City.....

You’re way off beam with that. If you think all the issues we’re seeing now - Inter ticket prices/disabled parking prices at City, Villa’s CL ticket prices, and concession pricing issues at West Ham and Spurs to name but a few - are primarily down to a price cap that’s been in psce for eight seasons (now entering its ninth), and costs the clubs a minimal amount of money then that’s a huge stretch.

What we’re currently seeing is what we’ve been seeing across multiple industries since Covid, and that’s businesses trying to push the envelope as far as they possibly can, be it football tickets, gig tickets, train tickets, or beer prices and is fuck-all to do with the PL away ticket price cap that was introduced at the start of the 2016/17 season. There was perhaps a minimal impact back then because of that but people and clubs can’t go using that excuse now.

I’ll also add that there were ticket pricing issues before the £30 price cap came in. City fans protested against the PSG home ticket prices for our CL QF in the 2015/16 season. Incidentally, that action against HOME ticket prices drew scathing criticism from a minority of posters on here at the time, yet the same cunts weren’t complaining when it led to lower prices for the semi-final home leg against Real Madrid the next round.

I wasn’t saying that all the pricing issues today are down to the away price cap just that it was one contributory factor.

I think my point still stands though in the sense that any ceo worth his salt will see an enforced reduction in match day revenue caused by cheap away tickets and will leave no stone unturned to recoup that revenue elsewhere on a match day

What people have to realise is that they aren’t fans anymore they’re customers and because the profile of the average fan and their disposable income has changed so will the pricing.

We all love how football used to be and we’d love to have the new Etihad bouncing with sixty odd thousand mad for it local blues who’d all paid a tenner a ticket but those days are long gone amigo. If i owned a club or if I were responsible for maximising revenue at a club I’d do exactly the same as our board are doing. They don’t owe anybody anything other than a fair market price and that’s what they give us.

It’s the big bad world of business.

Exactly this
 
I know I’m in the cheapest band of seats but I don’t think £37.50 is too bad, for what will be the most expensive of the group games.

Obviously, no matter what the price, you’d always prefer it if it was cheaper. But realistically, I’m not complaining at that.

I think expectations were maybe a bit lower because of the Real Madrid prices last season. I’ve always thought that the pricing for cup games was probably calculated on charging as much as they thought they could get away with, whilst still selling out. But £38 for that game, definitely wasn’t the case there. In fact I’m not sure any other club in Europe would be selling tickets that cheap for a quarter final against Real Madrid.

I’m probably going to be looking at somewhere in the region of £120 for the four group games. If that turns out to be accurate, it’ll be fair enough for me.

The Bayern (Ultra) standing section behind the goal is €15 or £12.66 for a match ticket. Blocks 109 to 117. Those blocks pretty much replicate our safe standing blocks. City fans in our safe standing blocks aren’t paying £12.66 for a match ticket.

A similar seat to mine in SS lv2 2 would be €70 so about £63 , so the vast majority cost more at the german rags

I’m not angry. I just enjoy calling out trolling hypocritical cunts like you.

By the way, 1894 (which I’m a part of) has made plenty of representation to City down the years on ticket prices. If they hadn’t, you’d be paying even more than you are now. You can thank us later you ungrateful twat.

I don’t think there’s anybody who realistically expects to get into games for a tenner a pop to watch the best football team on the planet mate. Even some non-league clubs charge more than that. However, there has to be a balance somewhere and revenues can be maximised without employing some of the more dubious practices we’ve seen from our club and other clubs of late. If you were in charge of maximising revenues, you say that you would do exactly the same as City are doing but I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt here and say that you wouldn’t have been daft enough to sign off on the disabled car park pricing policy that the club have recently introduced. Even after meetings with the disabled supporters groups who suggested other ways of dealing with the situation which didn’t result in everyone using the disabled car parking facilities copping for the prices, they still went ahead with it and ended up with a shit load of bad publicity which resulted in a welcome climbdown but they couldn’t even tell the truth as to why they backtracked on it.

More worryingly, it’s suspected that PL clubs are involved in joining forces behind the scenes in employing some of these deeply unpopular ticketing policies. It’s surely no coincidence that it’s not only City who have suddenly started targeting disabled fans. Villa are doing it too, and United. It’s surely no coincidence that it’s not only Spurs who have suddenly targeted concession prices. West Ham are doing it too. And for what? An extra few quid in revenue and a fuck ton of criticism? Is it really worth it? How about coming up with more creative ideas to maximise revenue that don’t involve constantly taking the piss out of supporters? There are plenty of ways of doing it - if clubs actually bothered properly engaging with fans in the first place that is.

As for some of City’s ticket prices, it’s short-term thinking based on exploiting our current position of being the best team on the planet with the greatest manager on the planet. Once he goes, we won’t be quite so dominant and there WILL be a drop-off in demand from the JCLs and tourists. Then you’re left with an issue of who’s going to take up the slack. Unfortunately, if they’ve also priced out some of the hardcore fanbase in the meantime it’ll be nigh on impossible to entice them back because believe me, once fans get out of the habit of regularly going to football matches it’s unlikely that they’ll get back into it.

All adult match day tickets for Brentford are £53 or £51 for SSL1. Going off the adult seats left for that game. That’s €63.(£53) Brentford is one of the cheaper category matches. The matches against the bigger clubs are more expensive. Arsenal is sold out, so I can’t find a ticket price for that game.

All seats and safe standing at Bayern in blocks 5, 4, and the majority of the blocks in 3, are cheaper. The only blocks that are more expensive are 1 and 2, which are the main stand and opposite side stand.

The majority of seats at Bayern are cheaper, bar the side stand seats which are more expensive, or slightly more expensive than the big games at the Etihad.

I know Everton on Boxing Day was £71-88 for an adult ticket.
