Open Letter on Season Tickets and Pricing | Club announce price freeze on "general admission season tickets & PL match tickets" for next season (p163)

[Johnny Mars Bar]

What happened to the mysterious season ticket "waiting list" city had at one point a few years ago? Did they just quietly delete it?

 

[Moss Side's Finest]

Just announced a price freeze for next season

This doesn't happen without the protest imho

Everyone give yourselves a pat on the back, the protest changed their minds

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Did you offer to pay double at the end of the treble season???

I thought about it but I spent all my money on drugs and City

 

[ninjamonkey]

Fantastic work from all concerned, City Matters and all of the fan groups who organised the protest, but most of all to the blues who protested, who made their voices too loud for the club to ignore.

It's the least the club could've done though. So while we should take this for the win that it it patently is, given the intransigence of the club over the last few years, it's only a start and there's so much more we need to do. General Admission (single match ticket) prices need to come down, not just freeze, and the club are still not committing to reintroducing new full season tickets.

You'd think the.media would report this good news then again they can't have anything positive coming out about us can they

Is the correct answer!!!!!
(doffs cap)!

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Well done to all involved.

It's not a massive result but a result nonetheless. Let's hope for a further freeze in coming seasons.

 

[the old abbey]

Thank you City.

 

[Cellarite]

Hard to work out what match by match prices they are freezing considering the prices currently seem to be set by somebody who has been on the crack pipe.

Still - good work by all the protestors and by City Matters.

 

[DMA's]

Yeah i don’t really see this as some significant victory. The prices are already out of hand especially for fans who buy on a match by match basis.

The fact many teams have frozen prices just stinks of collusion. They know they had no choice.

The fact the cheapest ticket prices for palace, villa and Bournemouth are : £61, £71, £61 is a complete disgrace.

Thrown the people a bone and given us a little pat on the head in the hope we back down . We need to keep pushing

Whilst a price freeze is good news it still doesn't address the concerns of stupidly high match day prices in the first place nor issuing new season cards not how to gain and retain young fans.

 

[Cobwebcat]

Well there should be a freeze as we will be in The Championship ;-)

 

[Kirkstall Blue]

Good news thanks to all the protesters :):)

It doesn't and I just put my worry is this sprinkle of good news before hitting us with more shit. I hope I am wrong and happy with this as a start.

 

[ejdmcfc]

It's a start, but still the absolute bare minimum they could have done

 

[MCFC1993]

Very wary of the wording, I have a flexi gold ST (wish it was normal) and the wording suggests that flexi gold ST's maybe won't have the same freeze.

Other than that, I still think this was the bare minimum, prices are still extortionate and they'll still increase the the general tickets throughout the season.

 

[manimanc]

The money coming in for the compensation from the premier league will cover the price freeze.

 

[EastMidlandsBlue]

Fantastic news, this is just the beginning!

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

It’s not enough from the club, they really have done the bare minimum.

But as others have said, it’s a start and there’s no way they would’ve done it if the protest hadn’t happened.

Got to keep fighting the good fight because there’s so much more City could and should be addressing.
