£56 for home games

Just illustrating a point. Maybe the powers that be should look at getting our costs down rather than just looking at increasing revenue.

De Jong will be off next year anyway. Sell now and get Milner playing more. Youngster takes milners place on bench.

In 4 years none of our young players have made it and this needs addressing quickly if we don't always want to be a buying club.

the idiots who state it's just another 4 quid seem to conveniently forget how dear it was before they added the 4 quid.

i can see loads sacking it off, and rightly so, heres to loads of empty seats all over the country.

Spot on.

It is dear, but then again the vast majority (85%) have season tickets which work out at half the price.

I can't believe you want to see empty seats at City again

yes, 1000's of them, it's no use to people like me seeing the stadium full, it gives the clubs justification for the daft prices.

i see no future for me or my kids watching city within the next couple of years, we just wont be able to afford it, for me supporting city is all or nothing, i want to watch them everywhere at sensible prices, but know virtually every game is nearing wembley prices, it just cannot be done.

the next tv deal is astronomical, and yet still prices go up, where does it end, well for me and many others very soon i would have thought.

You won't see a significant number of empty seats. The tickets will be shipped out as part of a package or sold to Tourists visiting Manchester for a weekend etc. I do concede that the type of person in those seats will change and this new increase is simply just that little bit too much for local people who've been going for years. You have to draw the line somewhere.

I'm fortunate enough to be in a position where I have little outgoings aside from my rent and bills. No Kids, no serious financial commitments like a mortgage or loan etc. City is still affordable for me but not when there's dependents in my life when I'm earning the same wage.

Nobody wants to see empty seats at City , but it appears to me that it's gonna be inevitable ....... increases in wages just don't match price hikes such as the ones City are proposing , and let's not forget that some people don't even get a rise in wages at all.

All we are doing is pricing working class people out of it , and people won't be able to afford to take their kids either ...... and they are the fans of tomorrow ...... probably the very people who would still have been around to support the club should the arab heirachy ever leave.

Yes , some of the seasoncard prices remain reasonable ..... but they are only any good if you can get one in the first place!

Haven't had a pay rise in 5 years. Actually took a 5% cut in pay a couple of years ago due to the tough economic situation. But I guess the club don't really care about my sort of fan. They're after the seasoncard holders and, more than likely, the corporate sector.

Just for some perspective (and I know it's a one off thing) but its just cost me and the missus £120 for tickets for us and the little un to the Panto in Manc at Christmas.

The fucking suits are pricing the normal fan out of Christmas. Just cos David Hasslehoff is in it. It wasn't that dear last year when it was Louis Spence.

Yep , it's much more than just football .................

pantomine , pop concert , and most other leisure events have all risen steeply ..... as has the price of your weekly shopping , i used to do mine for £40 , can't get fuck all in the supermarkets for that now!

Have posted earlier on today about this issue. For me it's a choice. If you can afford it you will pay it. If you can't afford it perhaps you will choose to forsake that extra packet of fags etc.

Going to the pictures is a dear do
Going to the theatre is a dear do.

Life in general is a fucking dear do. At the end of the day city fans come from all walks of life,low income,middle income,high income etc. You surely cannot expect the club to price tickets on peoples earnings because that is what fans are asking the club to do in reality according to many posters on here.

If I couldn't afford to go I wouldn't. I won't berate the club for putting prices up. I will maybe do a little more overtime,put a tenners less fuel in the car one week etc.

This thread is always going to cause issues as there are basically those that can afford to go, those that can't afford to go,but somehow find the cash and those that have hit the limit of what they can afford and decide to knock it on the head!

I pay £80 per month for sky, I would fuck that off before my season cards.

Agreed. Me too.

In this thread we moan about games costing another couple of quid.

In the next one we are bleating the owners haven't shoved 30 million towards some Brazillian child the rags are after.

lot of talk on here about pricing families out of MCFC

just a note about incomes:
single people do not get tax credits, family allowance, kids fares on public transport, no vat on kids clothes, ect . Single people pay more tax and NI proportionally more rent higher insurance premiums and so on ....Families already get a national subsidy because of the kids and that cash is expected to go towards their upkeep not so the parents can have a good social life this seems to be another blue moon thread that has groundhog day written all over it it should be binned now its all about choices

I get not a penny of support from the government apart from my child benefit of £80 per month which goes straight into my daughters bank account. I chose to have children and therefore do not want to be subsidised by the government for it-Unlike many in our wonderful country. I pay a fuck off lot of tax and National Insurance.
