Season Ticket Renewals - small increases (again)

[cleavers]

Its cost, Champions League games especially are expensive, and getting more expensive?

Most of our CL games last year were similar price to the other cups, people are not attending CL games for other reasons, ie most don't really care that greatly for the competition.

I suppose I'm being picky here but that would be the median value, the modal value would be the most common ticket price. ;-)

Wouldn't it be the mean value?

I personally know lots of locals who used to go watch City can no longer afford to, simple as that.

Fair enough you might know some locals who don’t go due to cost but that is your experience.

There will be loads of locals who don’t go for a host of reasons not related to cost. For example I don’t go to many CL home games because they’re on a ‘school night’ so I have parenting duties to see to. I also prefer to go to the CL away ones so I save my money for them.

The circumstances will be different for everyone.

What I can’t accept is this idea on this thread that City are pricing local / long term blues out ‘on purpose’ so they can replace them with wealthier non local JCLs. That’s just utter bollocks and would be an incredibly risky strategy deployed by a group of global business experts who have a tremendously good track record of being very good at business. It just doesn’t make sense.

The mean value would be obtained by adding up the cost of each individual S/T and dividing by the total number of S/Ts.

Think the FA cup is different being on a weekend. Then with C/l everyone know there will be at least 3 home games maybe 4 or 5 so will pick and choose depending on opposition and state of play in the group, whether they care less for C/L than league cup at least up to semi final stage I'm not so sure.

There are no ethic minorities within our local fanbase?

There are a disproportionate number of Chinese / middle eastern origin fans at CL games

I know, I thought that’s what he’d done?!? The mean would seem the fairest value to guage our relative costs to others’.

I think we get a lot of Manchester students on those nights. City actively target students with discounts. I have heard this from both city and united fans and could be why we see more on CL nights when tickets are a bit more available than league games.

You dont go to CL home games because or parential duties .so do you not go to PL night games cos of those same duties .How come you dont have them same duties for away CL games .dont blame anyone who cant attend a game and noone should have to make an excuse
