Away tickets price cap next 3 seasons

[squirtyflower]

Yes but I'm beginning to regret booking train tickets to go there and back in the same day!

With the Champs League on Tuesday it should be a good couple of games within the space of four days!

I've book marked the pub you mentioned, I'm going to track you down lol

The riffraff overspill will be in the Coach and Horses rather than the Complete Angler!

Congrats to all those involved in the campaign on ticket prices!

Shit, so that's where I've been going wrong all these years at Norwich - the hardcore riffraff have been drinking in a different pub all this time!

That's great news, all away fans at etihad paying less than
Me at every home game. Now that's going to piss me off some what.

In this modern age, you'd seriously support the old way over the current way ? You'd actually support people queuing for hours with vouchers, and front pages of programmes from away games ?

I've not lived in or around Manchester since 1981, yet I manage to get enough away tickets to satisfy me every season, and I'm now what would be described as on 'middle points', being around the 11000 mark. I'm much more in favour of cheaper away tickets, as we still won't sell out some games, so if you want to go you can, and the biggest complaint about the current system is for a minority of games like Bournemouth, or united, where it sells out early, but there are as many (if not more) that go to open sale, so choose your games. I work shifts and that includes weekends, so I have to pick and choose when I can get to away games, as I try to attend most home games too, and making away tickets cheaper is a start, even if it means I'm less likely to get an away ticket.

No. What I am saying is that a lot of people making a big deal of being long time City fans are perhaps as not as long serving as they like to make out.

I completely understand what you say about your own circumstances as I have been in similar circumstances myself as you might gather from my name on here, coincidentally referring to something in 1981.

Had a good chat with Darren Huckerby in the Coach and Horses a couple of years back. It's a good pub!

Us riffraff tend to stand out more in the Coach and Horses because it contains a better quality of Norwich drinker!

I think £20 was always pushing it a bit as that's the average in whatever they call the fourth division these days.
Somebody mentioned unintended consequences of clubs charging £30 when they would normally charge less; clubs like Hull (if they come up) who charged us £50 last season but charged fans of Palace and Stoke (the games before and after us) £15 due to a reciprocal pricing agreement.
As nobody charges us less than £30 it's a winner for City away from home. Remember Wham was only £30, and Arse £32, as they were subsidised; and that's the reason I went.
The business about 7 clubs saying no was in the papers (and on here) about four weeks ago, but we don't know if a vote was taken or if they just canvassed opinions. I think they need fourteen to say yes so it only needed one to change their mind assuming the original story was true.
In any event the amount lost by the highest chargers, presumably Arsenal, is a piss in the ocean compared to what they'll make from the new TV deal.

As a over 65 ticket buyer the 15 away league games I have been to this season have worked out at£28.40 per match. With 4 left to pay for, the price will probably average out at £30 a go anyway, unless they charge £20 for concessions????

Too far for me :-)

I remember when I was 18, living in London and clueless about distance. We used to take a fair few away from London and I was in the SC then ( I remember someone called Tina was involved in it if anyone knows her).

I decided a couple of days before to go to Plymouth on the train, thinking it was an hour away. 3.5 hrs later we finally got there. 2-0 up at HT and lost 3-2!! Two lads I knew from a London decided to drive and got there at HT!

Not sure what relevance this little story has but thought I would tell it anyway!

We hired a car and drove down for that game. Was living in the North East at the time so it was a hell of a journey, the journey back was even worse given the result. No problem getting tickets in those days though ;
