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

[franksinatra]

Minimal - it was just a simple example.

So you'd prefer one huge hike over smaller increments?

I would prefer none personally.

I would prefer none personally.

That was never going to happen. The increases over the last few years have just brought to about the same prices as other comparable teams in the North West.

We'll need the extra next season to purchase some of those CL referees that the dippers have had.

I stated exactly the same argument as yours in a similar thread last year and got pilloried over it. 20 years ago today we got relegated at Stoke, I for one don't mind an extra few quid a month to watch this quality team led by a genius Manager. Have one pint of beer less per month, do some overtime, spend less on the wife or just leave £20 less to your kids when you pop this mortal coil, as the saying goes "if you don't fly business class once in your life, your kids will".

Sheikh Mansour buys a club on the brink, pours BILLIONS into it, turns it into a commercial juggernaut, brings in some of the best talent in the world (both on the field and off it), gets us some silverware (FA Cup), delivers the first Championship (PL) in 44 years, wins some more League Cups, while winning the Premier League twice more, charges LESS than every other club (including some of the crappest in the League....and here we are.

Maybe Mansour’s biggest mistake was buying a club outside London, where such seasoncard prices would be welcomed, and instead buying a club in one of the most economically depressed areas of England, where almost any amount for a seasoncard is too much, and an inflation price increase (in an era of almost exponential price increases in players and contracts) is an outrage.

Stupid fucker! Can’t do right for doing wrong! maybe he should have designated CFG as a registered charity?

Well you can fuck right off with that stupid notion !!!
Its far too sensible and not allowed on this thread,
As Bill said "the post of the thread".Well done CB.

Think about it
If the cost increases every year by £25

In year one you pay £25 more
Year two £50 more
Year three £75 more
Total £150

One big increase of £75 in year three = £75

Yes he has, which is why it's so fucking ridiculous to increase ticket prices

 

[kippaxchris]

Its gone up peanuts. Look at it as 3% spread over 19 matches? It really is pennies.

I will leave it to the bigwigs of City to determine how much additional revenue we require.Not some half baked notion that £800K is fuck all over a season.
Me,you and a dog named Boo have no fucking idea what the long term plans of the club are and as the old saying goes "every penny counts".
Why should the club foot the additional bills of say Policing,Security etc.
In any walk of life additional costs are passed on to the consumer,in this case called the fans.You have an option,pay it or move to another supplier where you can save a few pennies.
The Club are not a charity anymore they are fucking big business and we have been self sufficient for 2-3 years now,NOT relying on HH for his pennies.Something that was spelt out to all fans from day one that he took over the Club.

Put it up £75 in year one and you've paid £225.

Either way, a significant rise in one season would probably affect people more than a little bit per year.

Well we must be absolutely fucking desperate and in utter financial dire straights if we need to raise 0.016% extra through the gate
