Protest v Wolves

Why should 16-30 new season card holders get preferential treatment. Say someone wants to move seat from a £750 to a £399. Why should a new comer get a chance of a cheaper ticket over someone that’s been paying for an expensive ticket for years

With this logic, why should oap's get a discount? why should u16's get a discount?
Sometimes it's about doing the right thing and not just about maximising revenue.

It may be for you but this is about all fans. And for many this is definitely too much. Imagine 2 parents and kids wanting to go to the match. Tickets probably gonna cost £250 and that’s before you add in all the other costs. City are preventing the next generation from coming to games.

Yep. Quite apart from the fact it isn’t fair to fans, it’s not really sustainable. If it costs near enough £100 for an adult ticket for the derby this year what it will cost in ten years? £200 for an adult and £100 for a kid? Do we really think working people’s wages will have increased to match that? And how many of our core fans will still be going then, how many overseas fans will still be interested? Many families in the U.K. are no better off than they were in 2007, at what point do we remind the club that they can’t keep squeezing the lemon? I love the club and over the years people who work for it have been personally kind to me and my family but endless rises will just lead to empty seats and shit atmosphere. Trying to introduce NBA, NFL pricing over here will just kill the PL dead as a spectator sport.

I supported the 9 min boycott though slightly conflicted if continued boycotts will work( I fear less people will boycott this time and it'll be a damp squid)

The club have frozen season card prices and people will now think it's pointless boycotting. Things like viagogo and membership ticket prices won't impact 70% of the ground so they'll it's pointless to miss more of a match.

You think fans will boycott the boycott?
 
I take my lad who is 16 and has been going for almost 10 years, his younger brother is now interested and comes to the odd game when I get him a F&F ticket, he now has no prospect of getting a season ticket and coming with us. What are we supposed to do in future? Choose one of them to attend, let him have my seat, give it up altogether?

How does the club envisage building up meaningful support? The place is already dead and getting worse.
 
The club have scored a huge own goal by not offering new season tickets or cheaper tickets for the local fans and especially the under 16s who have only known city to be winning and utd bad so we have so many kids in my children's school and local football teams who are city fans but simply cant get tickets because of silly prices and have no chance of a ST what the executive decision makers have done will never be recovered unless they make -16 tickets for £10/20 max and give them options to have ST especially if the dad or mum brother etc already have one. How are they expecting kids to come to games with dad's etc when they are crushing any option of this it really is unforgivable and will be even worse when we have 6k more seats to fill really short sighted thinking and very greedy to say the least

Exactly my situation. I had the chance to get my 10 year old a ticket last year when they offered the chance to apply but it meant moving seats so left it…the extended stand is a perfect opportunity to bring some life into the stadium but I suspect the people making the decisions are only interested in one thing and that’s maximising income.

it's either that or a row full of strangers every home game around you. and you can't complain next season if your match day experience is awful.

club have a chance to respect the elected fan groups. if they don't then they can't complain. don't talk down the power you, me and all of us have. glass half full not half empty !

I didn't do the 9mins, but will definitely be doing the 6 against Wolves, I would suggest more people will support this one.

From 1894, MCFC Foodbank and TUB after surveying fans again and seeing what they want to happen next. They ant pressure to remain ont he club.

Season ticket and match prize freezes the bare minimum, many issues remain unresolved.

Having spoken to members of Citymatters and with their meeting with the club on 1st May (day before Wolves) in mind we announce the following action :

villa - peaceful demo outside colin bell stand 7pm, leaflets to fans and reps from all groups on hand to discuss with fans and take feedback
(also at this game alex and brian from citymatters reps will be taking your views on this in the club shop from 6.15/6.30)

wolves - 6 min concourse protest to highlight 6 years without any new full season cards being released should the club not announce any new ones. if you take your seat as normal we ask you to remain silent.

both protests can be rescinded in the event of good news from the club, right up until kick off time on 2nd may.

The protest re season tickets is needed, we will lose fans, pisses me off.
 
Normal season tickets were last available for 2021/22 so the Six minute thing is a bit off the mark, the year before that was behind closed doors so N/A, and they were on sale in 2019/20. Silvers then came in for 2022/23 and 2023/24 but they could all convert these for 2024/25 to normal season tickets once FG were introduced.

I can see the club allowing the FG holders who attend the most games convert to normal season tickets. I doubt the club have decided what they are doing yet, and the best protest would be for all ST holders to put their tickets on the exchange for guaranteed refund for the Wolves match and hit them where it hurts.

From a Cityzens Matchday Member who is desperate for a season ticket: Thank you to all who have organised and all who will take part. Thank you for fighting to give me the chance to get a season ticket and to keep matchday prices down for me and my fellow members.

Having attended 10 home league games at the extortionate Matchday prices this season, I won't be at the Wolves game but I fully support the protest. I'm very glad that proper City supporting members, who are a minority in the stadium, have not been forgotten. Blues fighting for other Blues, makes me proud.

I'm in the same boat, I have no prospect of getting a season ticket. I take my kids as much as I can, but they take turns now because I can't justify paying the current prices. I could justify a season ticket that guarantees the 3 of us the same seats and have the shared experience. I took part in the leicester concourse protest but can't the wolves game. Thank you fellow blues.
