£35 per ticket (for me) to watch the best football on the planet I think that's a bargain.

Not at all.
Everything tends to go up with inflation.
Plus, the better the product the more you pay.
Why don't you go into town and protest in front of the shops?

I think the word '"protest" has irked a few people. :-?
So, let me change that word. Erm....
Like 100's, probably 1000's of City fans, I have decided to drop the two domestic cup schemes. My reasons are public, so I can't change that.
Why would I go and protest outside a shop? I could probably get that product cheaper online.
That goes for my seat at City. £299 or value gold elsewhere in the ground. But I like my seat. I like the people around me. I like being in the singing section. You can't put a price on that as far as I'm concerned.
So yes, City have got me by my blue balls. If my seat or another seat in 115 went up again, and again, and again, sesson after season...... I would still pay it. It's known as a captive market. Limited supply and demand = paying what you have to. You don't get that in the shops. Primark.

As a protest I am looking to add two more season tickets to the Family.

Just been down this morning ( Saturday ) to renew my ticket only to be told that the ticket office is not open at weekends even thou it says it is on the website.
I only live about 20 mins from the ground but there was a bloke behind me who had come from Holland and he was not a happy chap.

I understand your reasoning and if they had put them up by 10/20% I would empathise with you.
I also use the word "protest" as symbolic as I'm sure you did. The point I was making is that at the end of the day City are a business and have their own cost increases. Of course it would have been a magnanimous gesture had they frozen prices and absorbed the increases to their operating costs rather than passing them on. This would have been easily achieved given the relative meagre increase in revenue generated by the increase.
However, 3% is in line with what we could expect in other retail/entertainment venues and absorbable for most. it's not worth creating a noise over.........................yet.
