Seems a lot?

How they got all the tickets, god knows but Id wager they hadn't been to The Etihad before or since that game.
One bloke in the row in front took photos every 2 mins; when he went to leave with 5 mins to go, my mate tapped him on the shoulder and said sarcastically "see you on Saturday for the Stoke game."
I'm afraid it will be like this again city could probably sell 60,000 tickets for this game at that price so can't really blame them but it would be nice to see 45,000 genuine blues in the ground being charged £40 tops! Still looking forward to it even if I won't have a clue what people are saying around me!
The game last year sold out at a similar level to the derby at around 1000 points for Cityzen members, and very few appeared on viagogo. So can't see how it could have been full of 'tourists'.

Why £80?
Never been on the scheme, just buy as and when. Thought it was £45-£60?
daveyboybluemoon said:The thing that has annoyed me is the clubs insitence on taking the money out on Monday 19th....
1) 3 Days notice from ticket prices being announced (Though we roughly knew what to expect)
2) The main gripe though is seeing as it is for most people the last week before they get paid, in January, known as being the longest month between pay days, the club couldn't use some commen sense & say we'll take the money on the 1st Feb. It's a small gesture but would gain them some good will from the fans. How many of you are going to be pushing money wise to pay day now? When the money comes out on Monday it will be over 5 weeks till the game, surely by waiting a week & a bit they would still be able sort out all ticket relocations etc... They know the demand is there.
Since Decembers pay, i reckon roughly people could potentially have had to pay for
West Brom away I'm guessing £40 +
Sheff Wed Home - £15 - £25
Boro Home - £17.50 - £25
Chelsea away Circa £58
Stoke Away - £40
Arsenal Home (for non season ticket holders) - £40 +
There might be more but thats off the top of my head. but add in another £45 - £60 at what is the time when most of the UK are skint..... Nice one, Thank god we didn't get to the League Cup Semis!
(I fully get that I should expect this when I sign up to the scheme as I have been on since it started, but I just feel the club had the chance to do soemthing useful for the fans & they have failed badly!)
If the overseas tourists hadn't been there you would have been sat on your own. The only muppets are the City management that decided to charge such high prices for kids in the family stand. They've done the same again and there'll be very little demand from fans with kids. But the really annoying thing is that after those of us who will buy tickets for their kids have done so, they'll give thousands away around the schools. Properly annoyed about this and I will be writing to the club to tell them soLee the Blue said:My maine hope would be that genuine City fans can get tickets, as last seasons game in the North Stand level 2 was something like the Muppet Show - full of overseas tourists and people who clearly weren't City fans.
