Are You Doing Anything To Protest About The Latest Season Ticket Price Increase?

Oakie is worth a pint.

Just to put a face to his BM persona.

Groucho Marx said "I never forget a face. But in your case I'm willing to make an exception".

I assume he'd just met oakie.

You missed Friday night
This is one subject I was hoping wouldn't appear in this thread because the PL and Television companies treat all supporters with total disdain when it comes to rearranged for tv fixtures

sorry about missing Friday night , forgot about it, will have to watch on tv or leave Donny at 3

I expected an increase and I anticipate there will be another next year and the year after; it's called inflation.

So long as the club does not do anything silly with the price increases for my seat, I'm not going to complain.

I do believe the club should increase ground capacity again and make those seats relatively cheap ones.

Going to matches certainly isn't cheap anymore but at least we currently get a premium product for our money.

You don’t work for HMG! I’ve had 1 pay rise in 10 years and that amounted to the grand total of 1.5%. Meanwhile my seasoncard has gone up in price 9 times in the same period!

If it is about money with the increase then how about we don't allocate thousands to kids who don't support City and sell them and freeze the normal fans prices? I am not saying it will help that scenario but increasing makes it worse rather than better or even the same.

Fuck me you moan about everything?
If you are married or have a girlfriend I pity her, lighten up for fuck sake

I am not. It is unfortunate but I am ok with the price rises. Also, I think our owners are fighting battles on so many fronts with the FA, UEFA, media, corruption etc and I would rather not be part of another battle they have to fight right now, especially with the most prolific football we ever produced.

If we're shite then I would complain

Can't stop laughing at your comment!!!. Do you work as a diplomat by any chance..haha.

NO !!!!

My protest is renewing for the bargain price of £310.

Club don’t look at how it effects fans they look at what other clubs are charging for a far worse product and think we are cheap as chips.

Of course they do and that means we are the best fucking value in the league!!

 

[pride in battle]

The thing is when we were shit and on the verge of bankruptcy the club had to keep prices low and/or frozen otherwise plenty wouldn't have renewed. Now we are successful and playing great football they know they will sell all season tickets even if there is a steep increase. I don't like it but I doubt I can realistically do anything about it. Well I can, I can not renew but someone will take my place.

My season ticket is going to be £685 in the south stand lower. That works out at just over £36 a game which I still consider good value. I am thinking of ditching platinum so that will save me £50 a year.

We can protest all we like but I doubt the club will listen or drop prices so long as there is a waiting list of thousands ready to take our place.

It is a catch 22 situation and we can't have it all ways. If we hadn't had the takeover I would just be buying my tickets on a match by match basis and picking and choosing my games. The standard of football wasn't great and we had zero chance of winning anything. I have been following the club since 1968 and stood by them in the old third division but I was becoming pretty disillusioned just prior to 2008. I had realised that the top four were light years ahead of us and the gap was growing bigger by the year and barring a miracle we were never going to bridge it. Thankfully we got that miracle.

If I am eventually priced out I will be sad but grateful that to date I have seen us win seven trophies in ten years, when I expected to die without seeing us win a single one. I have watched some fantastic football, seen my club become a giant in world football and have memories I will smile about on my deathbed. If I have to vacate my seat it will be thanks for the memories and I hope the person who takes it has as much fun as I had over the years.

Fantastic post, absolutely bang on.
