Cityzens Prices Confirmed

[waspish]

It's a new era for young new fans they will take to this like a duck to water now and in the future, it's the new social media era and us "older" generation will think its a disgrace but stand still as a club you go backwards.. I don't agree with it but like I say you can't stand still the club have to look forward and where the future will be..

My worry is the young fans that will never get into the sport because of the prices. A year or so ago the cheapest ticket I could get for a 5 year old for the Hull game was £27. And if I wanted to sign up my 2 kids for this it would effectively be a £50 donation to the club in addition to the cost of tickets.

I'm just not going to pay that for something that offers them nothing of any value.

For a lot of kids going to games is the thing that makes them fall in love with the club. Getting harder and harder to do that.

Agree the worry is you will lose the die hard fans of the future unless you have parents who a wealthy as in going to say 10 games a season and costing around a grand for 2 tickets drinks food transport. Going to city for some fans in the future could be a 1 or 2 game a season..

But aren't City points and Ticket points different?

So the new points are for additional things, rather like the ones we had a few seasons ago where we had the chance to 'buy' things in auction?

They better be! Could somebody actually confirm this please?

I was hoping the new generation would baulk at it. My generation are used to paying for stuff, nothing was free. I've binned my season ticket due to other commitments, but the ridiculous price increase did help in my decision making.

However, I thought the new generation, the social media savvy lot, are used to freebies. Free internet, free social media, free music downloads, free film downloads etc, etc, etc. I was kind of hoping they'd tell clubs to fuck off and start fighting for some fair pricing (the Citizen prices are a fucking joke), whereas the oldies would just moan, then pay - and spout shite about it being well worth it due to memories of York away, or Stockport County at Maine Road!

A lot of my generation ('Generation N'/'Native Genration'/'Social Media Generation'/'Selfie Cunts') are starting to get pissed off. I know a number of us who have packed it in over the last year or two, with even more having done so this season. The problem is that there's always someone to come and take your place. The fans need to sit down and sort something out and then give it as a 'fuck you' to the club. It's all about brand image nowadays, if you can damage that image, THEN you'll be listened to. That's the only way nowadays, to shit on your own club to make them listen.

Smarties - I definitely agree about someone taking your place. Normally a debate on here about prices will include the 'if you don't like it then fuck off' type of post (I'm sure it's on the way). However, the piss is being taken. The sceptic in me leads me to think that the people running the club are happy for certain types to be priced out of it, as it's not just about ticket sales, it's about spending once you're at the ground - and if you can afford above inflation ticket prices year on year, then you'll have enough to then spend on food and beer and the club shop once you're there.

However, as I said, that's me being a bit sceptical, and I'm sure no one at the club would be thinking that way.

Yeah get your point about the younger generation paying for nowt as in music films downloads.. It seems though these younger generations took to paying £20 up to £40 a month for mobile phones contract as no big deal because it's the norm in this era of mobiles

What are City points? The beacityzen (vomit) site says ticket points are the new name for loyalty points.

"As a Seasoncard holder, you already earn Ticket Points (previously known as Loyalty Points). So that’s all good, you keep getting those."

EDIT: Have now had my Sugar Puffs and can read the site properly!!

Yep, fair one about the phones, the fuckers pay a fortune for them. I would say that a phone is an absolute necessity for them (and a lot of oldies as well now) - I'd hope a footie game wasn't, especially if they can watch it for nothing in the pub.

I've just spoken to someone at the club and yes they are separate entities rather like, as I've said, a couple of seasons ago with the auction thing.

So your match TICKET buying points are now Ticket points which remains exactly the same as always and the City points are completely different.


They are going to get someone to put something on the website to make this clearer.

Plus I also had a word about the proof reading and they are going to sort that out as well!! :-)

Cheers Eccles, it makes sense now - I hadn't even picked up on the name "City Points", just saw it all as one and the same.

So did I at first WIlly that's why I contacted them, this is what I love about our club though (& I know I may be in a minority here) they will respond to you and they do listen.
