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

Looking at comparative prices at the Pit of Misery, it's now noticeable that, excluding the Value Gold and cheaper tickets at the back of SS3, the range of prices is very, very similar. Our lowest Adult Gold price outside the very cheap seats is £530 and theirs in £532. Our highest price (excluding the 93:20 ones) is £940 compared to their £950. (The top price standard season ticket at Anfield is even cheaper, at £869 but their bottom price is £685 so it's a narrower range.)

It does make me think that City have increased prices solely to make them in line with the rags, because there
Is no or little financial benefit in it.

Exactly PB!

By season upon season increases City have caught up to United, etc.

That is one long-term financial plan and target reached.
 
protesting in what way? boycotting? not me. contributing/helping create positive change in the relationship between fans and club? definitely up for that.
 
It's an extra £1.50 per month for me.

Not even the cost of a cup of tea in the Etihad.

I understand the principle for many, especially when it comes to trying to attract and keep kids.

My lad's football team training is rife with City shirts, none of them have been to a proper game and would no doubt love to.

I'm unsure of your point here? A decade of moaning so carry on?

The club is in the best state it's ever been in. Ever. In it's entire history. It's also enjoying the most success it ever has. It's hardly like the fans are being taken for a ride and ripped off, that's my point. People will find something to complain about regardless, but, in reality we're in a great position and pricing is line with and cheaper than our rivals.

I lied. We didn't moan at first. Bar those forced out of the NS.

We took the first few price rises on the chin. We knew they were coming. Along with corporate area's etc.

But the price rises have kept on coming. 10 in total. "It should have been 11!"

My season ticket was £400. It's now £685. Minus cup games? £285÷10=£28.50. Average it out as a £30 increase a season.

We've never had it so good because Pep is here. And when he goes? Will it ever be as good again? Erm..... no!

Will £900,000 pay for a Sane, Sterling, Ederson? No!

£160mill winning the PL does. £40mill being in the CL does. £millions in existing and new sponsorship deals does. Tours do. New kits do. Etc.

If it really is about inflation and running costs as City have stated(come on!), please explian to me why those costs can't be saved by the club via reducing expenditure within the club over a season. As a club are we that flipent with money every season to have to claw back £900,000 via continual season ticket and matchday ticket price rises? We obviously are.

If the club budget season tickets (platinum and cup schemes) in ffp, then it becomes a chicken and egg senerio. Raise the season tickets so people decide to ditch the cup schemes/platinum, so the club raises seasoncards to make up the short fall. People do have budgets that could be met, where decisions about renewing are difficult especially if families are involved.
The club invested £200 million last season and made a profit of a million. We wont be investing that on fullbacks this season but we are likely to spend the equivalent on a def mid, and possibly forward or/and leftback. With the football we are playing under Pep means we are attracting new fans and the club wont care who pays for the season ticket.
