The food and drink is expensive but that is to be expected they still seem to sell plenty (and the mystery still remains for me that at that price people still leave behind half drunk pints, the few times I have partaken I have savoured every last drop due to the price) I think everyone would love ticket prices to be cheaper than they are, but they are still selling them and people are still buying them
It's become a luxury now because you can't jib trams, jump turnstiles or steal from your mam?Wasn't that long ago it was the working class game, with everyday people able to support their local club.
Now, its a luxury item.
Watching City is not expensive in comparison to other forms of entertainment, to watch some of the best players in the world as well. It's about choice, I would give up other things & do to watch city , to me it is like a religion better even than any religion I can think of. For you to say we're a rich mans toy is the language of our enemies & by a so called City fan is just pathetic. As for stealing off your mam, only total wankers do that.
Is it not your choice to spend as much or as little as you like when going to games?It's not 'other forms of entertainment' though. People buy tickets for other events every now and again. Your football team is a 20+ times a year event (what else is?) and you can't change your team for a cheaper one like you would a supermarket.
It's a unique customer/supplier relationship and they've got us by the balls. To compare it with going to a gig or to Wimbledon or to other once a year or once a lifetime rip offs is ridiculous.

This is worrying too.
The cheapest adult matchday ticket for City costs £42. Only Chelsea charge more for their cheapest tickets - £52.
City are going in the wrong direction on price.
With huge amounts of money flowing into premier league football from commercial sources it is not a good thing to see City becoming a club only the affluent can watch.
Is it not your choice to spend as much or as little as you like when going to games?
It's not my choice how much the club charges for tickets is it? Of course not.
It's absolutely my choice whether to buy merchandise, programmes, food, drink etc from the ground. I generally don't and I never ever complain about those prices as they're not a necessity to watch City. A ticket or season ticket is!
what's the average price per game for a season ticket holder who paid 300 for the s.t.
Food and drink prices at the stadium are poor, and the quality and service even worse, so find a cheaper pub to drink in, and for food there's a cafe (Bonnies) 200 yards from the ground (down Ashton New Road towards town) that does great food, at great prices, and their pies are excellent, There's also the chinese chippy on Beswick Street, which is also excellent value for money.Some tickets may be cheap, but the price of pies, beer, coffee etc at the stadium is fucking shocking.

Meh... just under £16.
It's irrelevant. my ST is £600... So i'm paying £32 per game. I'm happy to pay this price but when you start including Cup games and travel, it adds up..
Sure you don't have to attend cup games and you could walk to the stadium, but how much would a pair of shoes cost :D
Its not a hard decision, I've bought next to nothing in, or around, the ground since we moved there.Good point here in that there's plenty of food/drink options not so far away from the stadium.
The less Blues who eat/drink in there hopefully the club will actually take note then and improve the quality.
There's a Greggs (haha) on Ashton New Road, ain't that far away if you're desperate for a Pie/Pastie.
Think about it, 80p for a pie, or £4 for one? hmm....
I've stopped buying food at the stadium due to service and cost. I grab some scran before the match.
Not sure what that 'meh' thing means?
I'm simply pointing out that 40,000 loyal Blues pay a lot less per game than the headline figure says.
The cheapest walk up, one off ticket is definitely too steep but if those, and the sky high corporate shit packages subsidise the ST holders then so be it.
I go as much as poss but don't have a ST yet i rarely pay more than 30 and usually 20/25. I got the West Ham game for nowt but left the st owner 10 pints on. Usually the ticket is from a mate who cant go or it's my turn on a couple of 'floaters' we have. I've even got from strangers for less than face value.
