Well, I have just received a text from City begging me, as a "valued seasoncard holder" to ring in and buy a ticket for any old mate I fancy to come along.
Quite frankly, this is pretty embarrassing for a much talked about derby between the best two teams in the country. It's especially embarrassing when we didn't give them the amount they asked for and they would have sold those tickets in a flash.
Very good point, mate!cleavers said:Ticket prices are the least effective way of increasing revenue, though it is happening, and was inevitible. The difference between 48000 @£15 each, and 48000 @£40 each is only £1.2m (some of this would be shared in the cup), so lets say 6 domestic home cup games each season (unlikely), and its less then £8m per season, so might cover the wages of just one of our more expensive players each season, therefore its little or nothing to do with FFP.bored at work said:I stand corrected if true. However, the club is being forced to look at ways to generate extra revenue, ticket prices being one of the obvious things to look at.

'Quite Frankly'
You're talking shit
It's obvious that it's going to sell out
What we don't need is dickheads like you and your mate Simon...whether blue or red...making mountains out of molehills
If you really are blues...you should realise that anything drawing attention to any negativity within City will be jumped on by the press
And if you really do love this club...which judging from your post is debatable...then you would shut your mouth for the greater good
Oh look, here comes DD being contrary. Who'd have thought it?DD said:All this stick for poor Blue Simon because he raises a valid point. Not every person is a Rag because they say something you don't like.

Does seem odd to me that it hasn't sold out as I also got tickets for friends for the Spurs game (again as a seasoncard holder I get to do that when they go on open sale) and I tried literally a minute after they went on open sale and I really struggled to find a block where you could get more than 2 tickets together.
