City V PSG ticket Prices: Club Statement

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

That's great for you but what about those who can't afford it? Are you capable of empathy with them? Do you think the Sheikh needs to hike the prices up?

I'm one of the sociopaths from CBL3 and as for the Good Sheikh, I don't suppose he has the faintest idea what ticket prices are!

 

[Beyond Belief]

I love the denial. Did you actually go to any of the CL games? The sea of empty seats in the third tier of the east stand tells me lots of people didn't, despite the cheap tickets. If you did go then you have the right to complain about the ticket prices for the latter stage games. If you didn't then why are you moaning, you don't go!
As for the idiot who suggested he'd rather the club was as it was before the money came, you need to have a serious word with yourself. I've been a season ticket holder for 35 years and we have been blessed to have seen some of the football we have watched over the last 6 years.
If I was Sheikh Mansour I'd be tempted to take my money and invest in a club where the fans have some level of appreciation for the £millions I'd spent and actually bothered to turn up to cup games.

All these people who want owners to appreciate the fans, please tell me exactly what you want, because I assume world class footballers, world class facilities and competing at the top of the game is obviously not enough?

What is it?

Cheap tickets - how cheap? £20, £10, free (why not if ticket income is so notional in the whole scheme of things?)
Cheap beer and food? How cheap?
Scrap City Square because it's just a money making wheeze?
Fuck investment in new infrastructure and corporate facilities which raise money for the club because they're just corporate bullshit?
Move to a smaller stadium so that every seat is occupied?
Have their own personal chaperone to pick you up from home/work to bring you to and from the match?
What is it?

I have had a season ticket for 33 years now, and not once have I been forced to buy it. I buy it because I want to. In all that time my God have I and other fellow blues had to suffer - the Swales era, successive relegations, turning up at home matches knowing you were going to lose, visiting dumps in far flung places, hooliganism, no goals at home for half a season, etc etc. Don't get me wrong in between the crushing lows there were some magnificent highs - Colin Bell in his pomp, Gillingham, Blackburn away - but these have been few and far between. But none of these compare to the highs of the semi-final win over the Rags, winning a trophy after 35 years, the Aguero moment, Yaya and Nasri at Wembley, pipping the scousers to the league, the recent cup win, seeing Messi play at the Etihad, Sergios hat trick against Bayern, and many more. And I'm hungry for more. Forgive me for being forever grateful to the owners for that. Kill me!

Interesting username for such a top blue.

Why, I was a junior blue, got my first season ticket with my Dad as a 13 year old in 95 £164 and had a lot of hope in Martin "Buster" Phillips who like City back then was pure shite. Sat in Kippax lower BB block row 32 just above the "A" in Manchester City witness of the true MCFC. CTID

Ad hominem attacks mark you out as suspect. Supporting high ticket prices doesn't add any credibility either.

Not being funny but give a rest love.

Do you know what empathy means?

One of those new areas (221 or 222) was half-empty for the derby.

I sit in 222. Always plenty empty.

Ad hominem isn't my style, except in the most egregious of circumstances - and rather than support high ticket prices, I have criticised them, which marks you out as slapdash and lacking any cutting edge.

I would target your angst elsewhere if I were you. It's a battle you are pitifully ill-equipped to undertake based on your postings so far. Don't take my word for it: ask around.

You're clearly trying to mark your territory early on, and that's your prerogative, but you should choose your battles more carefully when doing so.

A turgid response

Thanks, frank.

Thanks, frank.

I never expected such an opportune moment to come along so quickly:-). Anyway do not let me sidetrack you.

Don't worry, frank - I can multi-task.
