That's why I can't see them allowing it to all.Again that could possibly affect match day sales if it was open to all. Over the previous season their has been a striking difference between the cost of one off matches in comparison to the cost per match of a season ticket. Those within the £299 seats maybe asking for £15 quid on the exchange for a lesser game while the club are trying to shift 10k tickets at significantly higher prices for the same match.

I don't think the seller sets the price, the club resell it at their price.Again that could possibly affect match day sales if it was open to all.

But if the spare seats were sold at between £20 and £40 for the 'mundane' games then they are much likely to sell out
Plus with the away fans in the cheaper third tier as well as a the lower tiers we should be able to have a cheaper price structure for them too.
If they can get rid of 3000 away tickets for most games it all helps with the atmosphere

Interestingly, if you read the post above, the guys in charge will be setting the prices for ticket exchange and not the ticket holderI definitely think that the ticket prices will need to be a lot more flexible for the more mundane games. However that is a policy which Barca have followed for years so it will not be anything new to those steering the ship.
I think for some games the club will have to think 'outside the box' and be creative . If you look at the cup crowds for the past two two/three season to the years, before I think we can have a lot of faith they will have considered this.
I'd be surprised to find that we're as high as 5th to be honest.I collect rare football programmes and for my geekiness I'm a member of another site in the collecting world.
I'm one of only about 4 other Blues.
There's a forum similar to this for fan's of all clubs to have a conversation.
None of these guys have an agenda against us like normal fans forums.
But the concensus of opinion on there is that City's prices for seasoncards must be one of the highest in the country.
They state it's because of the investment our owners need to claw the money back in somehow.
I've tried (I really have) to educate them that it's not like that at all!
I've compared our ticket prices to other top clubs.
I've informed them that we are probably 5th in pricing lower than Chelsea Arsenal Rags and even Newcastle.
I told them about the no Interest direct debit scheme.
I have even told them that we can opt in or out of cup schemes with no financial penalty (unlike the raggies)
I know they don't believe me.
I'm proud of our pricing.... they don't 'get' our owners!

Therefore if it's a big game then they'll ask top whack, and probably less for a smaller game
They priced the CoC and FA cups right for the last three years and got the biggest crowds of the rounds
We need to do the same for CL games, although the reason people don't go to them is people do feel, in my opinion, disenfranchised by UEFA and show their dissatisfaction by not turning up
How much were match day tickets last season for the differing match levels?Matchday prices at our Stadium are extortionate and are well out of the affordability of the thousands of people that live in the vicinity.
A person who cannot afford to pay for a season ticket sure as hell isn't going to shell out close to sixty quid for a one off game.
Until the club addresses this problem then there will always be a struggle to sell individual game tickets.
For league games, just from memory, cheapest games were £46 - £55 and dearest games £50 -£60.How much were match day tickets last season for the differing match levels?

Those estimates sound very high although anecdotally it does seem to have been a time when a wave of City fans started to give up.Build it they will come. (If you charge the right prices.)
I think the year-on-year price rises for many are just too much. About 15% too high if you want my honest opinion.
Two different people whose information I trust have told me now that 12-15,000 blues gave up their season tickets during the Pearce years and they have never came back.
I think the main reason is price. We do not live in London and generally do not get paid London wages.
City averaged 45,365 last season when the capacity was reduced to about 46k. I sat in 216 last season next to the away end last season which was almost always allocated to City fans because away clubs returned tickets or failed to take up their allocation and it was always full of City fans buying tickets on a match by match basis from at least £45 and often more. I remember comparing our prices at the back of the South Stand to those at Utd for equivalent fixtures, and our prices were significantly more expensive.Matchday prices at our Stadium are extortionate and are well out of the affordability of the thousands of people that live in the vicinity.

I don't think anybody has. I've just had a look on the o/s and can't see anything about general sale either. I know someone posted they had gone through the list, I don't know if the general sale thing was just an assumption, or they have to decide what happens next.Rather than trying to find the figure as this is a fast moving thread, has anyone posted a rough Idea of how many season ticket holders we now have after the waiting list has been worked through? Thanks.
