Also can’t fault the club in cup games to get people going in the pricing .I agree bb , most young lads I know go because of dad or mum saying we’re going to the match because that’s what we did . I know of one young lad who’s city mad and his dad takes him his dads no interest in football but to be fair takes him when they can afford to . I have no answer to what the club can do to be honest. It’s not a charity it’s a business but maybe they could do like a shops do in like a loss leader to enhance people. It’s just a shame that many are missing out in the clubs new golden era .
i know its likely better to be on a separate thread about ticket prices, but when they capped away tickets at £30. Something similar should have (and needs to be) done about cost of home fans tickets.You could make 2000 tickets available for local fans (fans who live anywhere in Greater Manchester) at £15 adults, £10 18-21 & over 65 and £5 for kids on a first come first serve basis. Or Cityzens match day members who attended 10 matches the previous season get 6 matches in the current season at £30. So many initiatives the club could introduce but aren’t interested.
We always sell those away seats returned to the club very quickly after they go on sale for £30.I’m not saying that the modern world isn’t a contributing factor but when the likes of Burnley and Norwich returned all their tickets in the top tier City put them on sale at £30 and they sold. Price it sensibly and the demand is there.
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.
In 115:
Adult - £50
OAP + 18-21 - £40
Child - £30
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?
Didn't know Liverpool were doing kids tickets at £9 till this thread. That's a no-brainer if you ask me, get them hooked young like I was and they'll still be coming when they've got a job that can pay for a season card.I agree bb , most young lads I know go because of dad or mum saying we’re going to the match because that’s what we did .

They’re reducing unsold single seats to £30 in the last week of sale but the tickets that get listed on the seat exchange are going on at full whack.I don’t understand our pricing. I sit at the back of 202/204 and was after a Leeds ticket for my daughter who’s home from uni. Virtually all the tickets in the block were £60 which I would’ve deemed too much money to spend for a routine home game but there were one or two for £30. Why the big discrepancy - are the £30 ones returned concessionary tickets and so are resold at the same price ?
Fully convinced we could fill it twice over if the price was right. Wouldn't even mind the club milking the international market if it was benefitting the local fan... But it isn't and they're doing it anyway, all while Eastlands has become a tourist trap in the process.We always sell those away seats returned to the club very quickly after they go on sale for £30.
Like we had over 10,000 people apply for the £250 season tickets when SSL3 was expanded… we could fill a big fuck-off stand if we made it all rail seating and £300 per season ticket and £30 per match day ticket.
We seem to properly understand our fanbase where the club doesn’t have a bloody clue though.
We have the fanbase in Greater Manchester alone to fill a 65,000 stadium every single week if the pricing was right and the set-up of the stadium was right with proper decent stands to identify with.
And imagine how good our atmosphere could be if it was like this. Hamburg wasn’t as good as it was because it was a UEFA Cup Quarter Final, it was mainly because tickets were a fiver and it enticed a certain type of City fan.
