City Charging West Brom fans £56

[Dogtanian]

WestBrom should wait until it's too late or not tell us at all that they're boycotting this so that we can't then sell the seats on anyway. Leaving 2800 empty seats in the South Stand.

Ripping off fans is not acceptable. I don't care if it is my club. It's not on.

I have a big feeling SC prices are going to piss thousands off this Summer to the extent that we will become disillusioned with it in our thousands.

And they know they can do this because they now have nearly 7000 on the waiting list, its so hard, i pay for me and my son a season ticket and i don't earn a large amount, it is a struggle for me as it is :(

Sorry that can't happen as if West Brom say they want all 2,800 they will have to pay for them whether their fans buy them or not so City can't lose.

No one likes paying high prices but this is a title run in game and a relegation decider for them, so the tickets will sell. if West Brom don't buy them then thats good for us as they will have very little away support.

i dont blame City its Tw"tini and FFP, we either pay the prices and have a league title winning team OR we fall behind. Personally with TV and live streams meaning you can watch the game whether you are there or not I would rather see us have a competitive team and go to less games,

Also it might encourage people to buy a sc which is far far better value than buying on a game by game basis and then buy for it either in a loan or direct debit scheme if you cant stump up all the cash up front.

No one can berate the club for this. Its supply and demand.

not at all, those 7000 on the list are for the 300 pound tickets, i can guarantee at least half wouldnt take up other seats at prices we are used to.

In your opinion people cant berate the club........Clearly this thread shows they can and they are doing.

Where does all this stop? We were outraged at Arsenal last year and some quite rightly boycotted the match. Those prices were only £6 more and I believe we are charging blue members as much as £60 in some parts of the ground for this.

How did Scott Sinclair improve our title winning ambitions? He didn't and was never going to yet he cost £8m to sign and last season probably around £2.5m in wages. I would hazard a guess that now he is worth fuck all, we will be paying his wages next season too or a vast chunk of them.

These stupid ticket prices for what I would class as a category C game only add around £1.5 to £2m a year tops as we don't do it for all clubs (Yet).

If I were a West Brom fan I would be fucking this one right off.

Need a weekend where people from all teams turn up 5 minutes into the game. Show the empty seats all around the country.

Until we say enough is enough clubs will keep taking the piss.

I have every sympathy with the west brom fans, but no more than I have for our own fans, this is just one game for them, EVERY game for us is overpriced, for all the protests, twenty's plenty from the FSF etc, nothing has altered other than a couple of token gestures.

Arsenal are increasing prices by 3% for next season, the clubs know that the premier league is so popular they don't need the core support anymore, especially the top clubs.

City are expanding the stadium, but worry about filling it, how about making the away section 5-6000 and charging 30 quid, guaranteed to be full for half the premier teams who visit.

It's not categorcy C on the basis that it's a title run-in game. Were it at the start of the season it wouldn't be 56 quid.

im sure city will be completely relaxed if there are no west brom fans there as it only helps our chances and City will sell the tickets to City fans.

I think its wrong to criticise City when ticket prices are a football problem not a City problem. Fans seem to expect City to charge cheap prices when their competitors chelsea, rags etc aren't it just can't happen. If you want to see the best teams then logically you have to pay for it.

The rags did speak with their feet with FCUM but largely its been a damp squib as the demand is still there.

Were it not for FFP I'm almost certain that Sheikh Mansour would have been happy to subsidise ticket prices and undercut the rags to get fans coming to CIty as opposed to the rags. With FFP, unfortunately he can't do it.

Like I say by all means criticise ticket prices but you need to criticise Tw*tini and football in general not City. All City are doing is trying to compete financially with our rivals - a direct result of FFP.

FFP its not, look over in Germany, their teams aren't raising ticket prices, the supply and demand does have something to do with it, as if we could cater for more supporters i do believe it would be cheaper, title run in or not, you cannot justify £56 on a monday night on the TV, especially with a smaller club such as WBA, it kills the atmosphere in the stadium which ruins exactly what they club are fixated on 'match day experience', or is it only the razzmatazz in the north stand they mean by it.

The club are making more than 20 million this season than last season in tv deals, thats where ffp can be fixed, not by charging obscene amounts.

Dont forget also, in london they are paid higher wages and everything is more, so the £6 more than the arsenal game is probably in fact worse.

There are around 37000 SC holders, aren't there? That leaves around 10000 tickets available (nice round number). Let's say each of those 10k tickets were £46 instead of £56 - well, the club would only be losing out on £100000! That is absolutely fuck all and £100k is going to do absolutely nothing in helping us towards FFPR. Yaya can sneeze and lose £100k without realising. Blaming Platini is a kop out for this one.

Buying single tickets over the years, prices have been becoming clearly more and more expensive. Roll on my season tix as I wait impatiently on the list!
