You can't do that.
the next game people would not buy in advance, they'd just wait until an hour before the game.
That does seem very expensive especially of you're taking a child or two with you. I just don't think they grasp the hardship fans have to go through. As a business I expect their way of thinking is probably like comparing this current City team to a top expensive restaurant. You want elite nouveau cuisine food prepared by the worlds top chefs you have to be willing pay for it. Only a select few can afford to eat there on a regular basis and then there's a few that can splash out occasionally taking the family once or twice a year.The ticket prices for Wolves at home are a disgrace. We talk on here about what could be done to improve the atmosphere when in reality, the type of people who'll get in a sing are priced out.

A couple of weeks before Christmas and people don't have that kind of money. There are dozens of tickets available in every single block. We get Pep moaning at us, but what do they expect us to do?
There’s about 51,500 tickets sold so far, presuming Wolves have sold out their end, with a couple of days to go I’d reckon we’ll shift another 800 at least. Likely to be 52k-52.5k there.We keep moaning about the atmosphere, maybe we should start doing something about it? It doesn't matter if we have about 2000 tickets left to sell there's still 53,000 people going. It's before the games at Mary Ds and other places that the atmosphere seems to be dwindling too. Mary Ds or Townley or wherever should be bouncing this Saturday morning. Like other have been saying, let's bring back some of the old classic chants and belt them out before and during the game.
Come on City!
Yes. 51k-53.5k is good for these sorts of games, against B and A list games we sell out, so the club are relatively happy I’d imagine.Without wanting to stir the pot too much, isn't having a ground that doesn't quite sell out for C list games but sells out for A list games mean that your ground, give or take, is the right size for your fanbase? From a purely commercial basis, a couple of thousand empty seats against Wolves means you'd be looking at it and thinking you got your pricing spot on rather than panicking and flogging off your seats on the cheap?
I’m sure that’s the way the club look at it but other clubs are slowly beginning to facilitate their supporters a little bit more, whereas ours a disengaging more and more. The amount of empty seats this season is dispiriting. A full house would undoubtedly lift the atmosphere in my opinion whereas seeing dozens of empties in every block adds to the general apathy around the ground.Without wanting to stir the pot too much, isn't having a ground that doesn't quite sell out for C list games but sells out for A list games mean that your ground, give or take, is the right size for your fanbase?
