I hate them as well and don’t agree with the £71. But the have less season ticket holders so they have more match day tickets available to sell so maybe that’s why they can sell the cheaper. Maybe that’s why city want to bring our season card numbers down

It's true that they have less season ticket holders, and I'm sure City would love to have a percentage equivalent to theirs, but that doesn't excuse our outrageous match day prices, and I can't imagine there are plans to lower prices if we reach the same percentage. The difference between us and them is that they have a huge supporters trust with a large base of active supporters, and their executives are wary of them. Our executives believe they can do whatever they want at the moment; perhaps the demonstrations and negative attention they are receiving will begin to change this.

It would be interesting to see who make the most money from just ticket sales , I suspect that having less STs means you make more money as my ST works out at £40 per game and if sold separately would be £63 to £71 depending on category
 
City and the rest of the Prem clubs can go and f**k themselves! Decades of season ticket holders whereby mums and dads have brought their children to games, then got them a season ticket and this has always been the case. The clubs are all greedy robbing T***S! Stick together everyone and don’t believe the crap the club spills out about tickets, keep our season tickets and more protests are required. Big deal they froze the prices for next season, still greedy robbing gits! Another season like this one, and they will be dishing out season tickets like sweeties. One of the richest clubs in the world and they are grabbing every little penny out of fans, no excuse, but pure greed! You sell a product, the person who bought it can do what they want with it. Trying to grab people’s season tickets off them to sell nearly double the price! Should boycott buying anything on the concourse too. Taking the piss to extremes the greedy gits.

Never buy fuck all from inside the club

The prices are insane

This I feel is the reason they want tourists or match by match day going fans as they spend more on the day

The day of loyalty to us long term ST and especially those who have been there when we were shit as long gone

Pep can urge the fans on to get behind the team as much as he wants but he needs to knock on the big bosses door and ask them what the fuck do they actually want from a crowd

The beer inside the ground is one of the cheapest places in town for a pint.

Unfortunately, that is true, so I will reluctantly buy a pint if I am inside the stadium with more than 20 minutes till kickoff; I dislike scanning my season ticket so they can track my spending, but 10% is 10%. However, I used to buy my son something to eat inside the stadium, but even he, at 12 years old, realises that they're taking the piss, so he's content with eating something beforehand. I wish I wasn't so resentful of the club I've loved since I was five years old, but that's where I am.

I was talking to a rag who has a season ticket, where she sits they only used to serve bottles,but this season
they do pints etc, she told me she pays £3.80 for a pint,i told her it £5.40 at ours and thats with a sc 10% discount,
don't know if what she said is true or not but,£3.80 seems incredibly cheap.

Not sure where you or the poster above drink but a pint for a a S/T holder is decent £5.53 for Guinness, Asahi and the IPA similar.
Decent Pubs in Town and certainly round my way are the same if not more.

Not been to the Swamp for a couple of years but the away section used to be rip off small bottles.

Gotta be honest, the Steak pies although expensive are big.
I'd say twice the size of a chippy Hollands pie, better too.

Easy answer, just sell tickets at a honest price 5/6 weeks before the game.

All this Freddie Laker book early stuff and a mini second drop is so City can massage the amount of tickets available to members.

There is no way a pint at the swamp is 3.80!, I can certify it 100% isn't In the away end anyway.

It’s about that for a bottle and pretty sure apart from one part the ground it’s all carling. Drinks at our place have been an area that’s improved on the matchday IMO and sign of the times an average pint is probably 5.20 ish now across Manchester.

Never go to the arena that’s real rip off prices for pints…
