CC SF 1st and 2nd leg ticket info and prices..updated page 3

[Brendan110_0]

the semi final certainly begs a few questions, the daft pricing as obviously alienated many fans, which is a great shame not only for those missing the game, but also those in attendance, it won't make for much of a spectacle with 15000 empty seats.

but also it highlights the lack of supporters waiting in the wings to jump into the available seats, basically it's by and large the same fan base dipping in to their pockets, and ultimately liverpool on bbc for the league cup is seen as too expensive, so not only city but liverpool should be somewhat ashamed that making maximum profit comes before actually filling the stadiums.

but having said that our group will make the 300 mile round trip as per usual, and i can say as a matter of fact none of us are big earners, but the chance to see city in a semi final is surely something to relish

33,000 in attendance? Total poppycock. We've already sold more than that.

neither I nor the wife will be after this

I'd at least thought they'd have given Cup Scheme Members a discount of say £5 a ticket?

How long before we copy the rags and this is compulsory.

Like a few others here I wish our club would make a stand on ticket prices.

I have no kids so I can afford £40 however I understand why people can't, for some reason a few people here seem to have accepted that this sort of price is acceptable.

IMO football matches should be around the £10-15 mark

go watch non league then.

Should be 6d IMO, damn that changing to decimal and inflation.

If sales are that bad then city will reduce the prices like they did for hamburg. I don't think it will come to that but if it does I will be first in line

how can they do that ? i would be unfair on the people who paid full whack

not a chance that 33000 have been sold already, family stand night on empty, only 2 block sold out in the lower tier, the middle tier normally first to sell out has many, and the 3rd tier has way more empties than sold.

They did it last year for a game. I paid full price then they put prices to £5. I raised the issue and was told " tough titty"

And here's the sucker punch. You can't get a refund if it's only a week before the game so that's when they reduce the price. The loyal supporters who got in first are stuck with full price tickets and the jonny come latelys get the benefit

Has this been asked - why do non-season card holders need 100pts to buy a ticket to City vs. Liverpool on general sale (according to the ticket site)? Do the club want this game to be half-full or is that a mistake? Same for the rags game but that will sell out no matter what restrictions are imposed.

I'd guess its as the club don't want away fans getting into the home end if they are unable to get a ticket from their club,much like there are City fans going in the home end at Sunderland. The risk of trouble will come with that happening,so I can understand the club's viewpoint.

I'm going off memory but I thought general sale applied to people who have attended a home game before,rather than a 100pts minimum requirement being in place?

They did that with Napoli I think but it's listed as 100pts for Liverpool and United on the ticket site. I think this is a bad move as tickets are moving slower than Benjani.
