What you are describing is the ticket policy that has been slowly, deliberately, and systematically introduced by City over the years. There is little or no thought for families of 2, 3 or 4 sitting next to each other in different parts of the ground via affordable family (bundle) match day tickets. Price the families out. Price the adults out. Price the kids out. Let the tourists, day trippers, and football fans of other clubs pay the expensive match day tickets prices and fill the seats instead for the big games, while fuck the lesser and midweek games off.
