We were last season. But it can be deceiving.Is that true? The most watched team on US TV? How times have changed, so much for the red cartel.
PL games are either shown on NBC’s own NBC or USA Network channel which is a “free” channel (free as in part of your cable package) or $5 a month more for the Peacock streaming channel.
City (I think) were mostly of the “free” channel and the Scousers and Arsenal maybe less on that and more on Peacock.
I could be wrong. I could be right.

I don’t give a shit about that competition, and I hope City play academy kids and give the first team squad a rest. Nobody cares about a Mickey Mouse competition

They’ve lowered prices for City in the last 16/QF/SF/Final and you can return previously purchased tickets for a refund = good news.
However, they charge you 10% of the ticket to be refunded.
If you bought for the final at $892, you’ll get $803 back and be able to buy the new ticket for $300 !

Last week I checked the sales for the 3 games I am going to, one is City, and there looked a lot left of FIFAs tickets.They’ve lowered prices for City in the last 16/QF/SF/Final and you can return previously purchased tickets for a refund = good news.

I just did it for the last 16 (to save $19 :O), no problems. And as the final is down to $300 I grabbed one of those, knowing if we don't make it, it gets refunded.What could possibly go wrong - purchase tickets at lower price before seeking a refund.
It was hard work buying them initially using the code.
That’s good. I limited my duration of travel to see 2 matches (Juventus and last 16) based on the initial high ticket prices.I just did it for the last 16 (to save $19 :O), no problems. And as the final is down to $300 I grabbed one of those, knowing if we don't make it, it gets refunded.

I nudged my sister that lives in Florida to get tickets for City v Juventus. She got 3 quite easily. Would love to go myself but she's taking her kids. My nephew loves Haaland, my niece plays football (or did). Her kids have never seen City live so should be special for them.

It's in plain sight, moving an out of place football tournament to another country to expand their brand at the expense of footballer health and the carbon footprint of football in general.
If we win it they will call it the Mickey Mouse cup anyway so it's fitting it's being held in the land of Mickey Mouse.

Imagine if you will, the crowd go silent as the American national anthem is played before the final and everyone gets a free pair of Mickey ears on their seats to put on.
The finalists would be a team from Israel and one from Iran :)

Yayyyy this is great news. The robbing twats are keeping 10% for admin fees which for our party of 4 amounts to £400! That’s the bad news.

Imagine City in this but with Rodri back. We would have a shot at winning it!

Bitter Sweet, for the Final you save $2,368, but give them $356 for the privilege :O (Net saving $2,013). But here's the stinger, you'll get the $1,200 back if we don't make the final, but you will have still paid the $356 :OYayyyy this is great news.

It’s extortion. They literally have to press a button on a computer which takes less than a second. The whole thing about admin fees on tickets is a complete shambles. If the ticket sellers want a cut of all sales then they should invoice those for whom they’re selling the tickets not add their fee on for the punter to pay.Bitter Sweet, for the Final you save $2,368, but give them $356 for the privilege :O (Net saving $2,013).

There’s been further complications. One of our party was allowed to buy all our tickets using his access code. Now his access code only allows him to buy his own tickets at the new lower price. When he tried our access codes (previously unused) to buy the new lower priced tickets it doesn’t allow it - they can only be used to buy the higher priced tickets. If there’s no way round it then this is a fuckin disgrace.
