Sister is a ST holder and has just got me a ticket for £50. Ask me how much I would have paid to see City have a shot at getting in the CL semi-final about 10 years ago and the answer would probably be £500!

Come on City!

Nope. By not going this is my protest at the ticket pricing for cup matches

No I'm not saying they should be a tenner for adults. £35 is the maximum the club should be charging for the better seats in EL1 and 3
And I hope I'm watching a semi final at £35 for my seat in EL1

Gutted for you m8 as they will sell your seat and your protest Will go unnoticed (not having a pop by the way) it will just be you that suffered.
It will be the same for the semi if we get there, maybe even a £5 increase , and unless we get a away leg first and are Way behind when it comes to the home leg that will sell out too with everyone's protest going unnoticed.

Understand the discontent with the prices ( but don't agree) but if you and others stay away in a game that will sell out easy it won't matter a jot to the club.
You be better off attending the game enjoy your passion for the team you loved well b4 the owners took over and writing to the club about your concernes, unless financially it's not doable for yourself then that's a difrent story, but staying away when the club can sell your ticket is only going to deny you the expereance with out having any impact on the club .

Isn't that the most expensive semi corporate option?

Most tickets are £40-£45 which is cheaper than most league games.

(Yes, I still think that is a lot).

No, that's anywhere level 2 East or West, and it'd be £55 minus the £5 membership discount.

Most tickets are actually £55 (£50 with the £5 discount included if you're a member), that's the price for the most populated areas of the ground: East and West levels one and three.

City got the pricing wrong for this, there's no question. There's no way this game should have several thousand unsold seats at this stage.

And it'll have a clear affect on the match crowd on the day, I keep seeing people saying we have to replicate Hamburg; that simply isn't going to happen with £50 tickets.

This has put a big negative on the whole tie for me, and it shouldn't be like that. Without this I'd be as delighted as anyone. We should be eagerly anticipating the second leg with bated breath, looking forward to a great atmosphere.

Instead we're discussing the price of tickets, it looms over it. We're wondering whether we'll sell out because of the price of said tickets, and wondering how many day trippers and football tourists will be sat around us on the night while proper blues are sat at home watching on the telly because they've been priced out as the bean counters in the boardroom have put a couple decimal points on the books ahead of what's best for the support - and the team on the night.

Ah well, suppose it's all our fault for complaining about it, we're the issue here. Just ungrateful moaners who can't see the bigger picture.

Funny thing is it's actually completely arse about face. The blues unhappy about this and being vocal in their discontent are that way precisely because they're aware of the bigger picture.

But I digress, hopefully we stuff them on Tuesday. Dread to think what the bean counters would think up with the pricing if we made it to the semis though. I suppose it's a nice potential concern to have, just feels like an enormous kick in the bollocks and an insult to all the blues who helped to take this club to where it is today. And it's there, lingering. Hence why there is that disillusionment there.
 
I understand if you can not afford and totally understand if you don't wish to pay between 40-60 for a champion league quarter final but if you had offered me this in 2008 I would have bitten your hand off .

Paid 42 quid away at Birmingham in 1998 if I remember correctly ??

Come on City finish 5th and win this and hopefully them horrible cunts finish 4th , dreams

That won';t stop Utd getting into the CL.

Now, if City won the CL and finished 5th, Utd 4th and Liverpool win the EL, that would do it.

It will be a sell out on Tuesday. We allways sell tickets late for champions league games.
 
Anyone who isn't excited for the home leg is stupid. If the competition doesn't mean anything to you than we shouldn't be having the likes of Aguero/KDB/Silva/Sterling.... . All these players want to play in the CL. CL is the biggest competition of the year for any club by far. The owners din't make an investment to not be global. Every club in this world would love to be in our place to have a big shot at the Semis and some of us just not giving a shit is disgraceful. The likes of Pogba/Messi or potential players take a note of these games not Bournemouth away (no disrespect).

Every top player in the world looks at the CL and if some of us arn't up for it then the club shouldn't bother signing them either. You can't crib about us not having Pogba and then just say fuck it to the CL.

I did not expect us to get a 2-2 at their place and somehow we managed to get it against all odds, that should be incentive enough for everyone to be there and create an atmosphere like no other game.

If you still don't feel bothered by the competition/club/owners then please keep it to yourself, no need to tell others what to do and what not.
 
At the end of the day it's a supply and demand business, it's the first time the club have gone this far in the competition and have a good chance of going through. I'd be going if I could afford it, but don't feel any less of a fan listening on GMR

Quite a clever ploy by the club that. Get people to buy the more expensive tickets first then release the cheaper ones when the demand dies down a bit. You have to give this fella/Woman in charge of ticket revenue their due! They know all the tricks!

Not really, the cheaper ones have been available all the time in the North stand.
 
Would be nice if the atmosphere could be re-created that we had when we played Hamburg at home in the 2nd leg of the Europa League, I was lucky to be able to be there that day and even though we did not get to the next round it was a great night.
