I absolutely agree with you, but one caveat .. There are many match day members who would love to commit to all 19 games via a season ticket, with its relatively low cost per game. But, they can’t and instead they have to pay inflated prices for the games they can get a ticket for.
Absolute bollocksThose people doubtless exist. But I think the number in that category is vastly over estimated by some people.
As it’s only been the case in about 3 or 4 seasons since season tickets were invented that anybody who wanted one, could not quite easily have bought one.
I came out of the fa cup scheme 2 years ago because I couldn't afford it and also potentially have to use holidays for it if we were drawn home.
It dropped to my points on friday at 1pm, and all that was left were £115 adult and £105 under 18, no way I'm paying £220 plus £100 coach, my son isn't working at college, the FA are a fucking disgrace knocking just £10 off tickets,they make me sick, first final I will have missed since 1974 V wolves.
£220 is more than a half weeks take home pay for me.
Absolute bollocks
Join a city supporters club mateThere were a few years when the club was dishing out points like confetti 1500 or 1000 just for joining bloody cup schemes or buying a more expensive season ticket, e.g. platinum, which was biased towards those who could afford it. Absolutely nothing to do with loyalty.I was on cup scheme this year but the club cocked up and took me off the scheme and nobody would help ( I won't bore you ).However I wasn't too bothered based on last year when it went down to members as I assumed I would still get a ticket.Clearly, as Rammy blue and others have told us, we know why that won't happen this year ! Shame on City, but me and my son will have to watch it on TV this year. I am seriously considering jacking it in all together to be honest based on the club's behaviour with this.
I'm not arguing..I go to every home game,&cannot for love nor money get a ST oh and you are talking bollocks how would you know anyhowConvincing argument.
Would you like to expand on it and state which seasons you think season tickets haven’t been widely available in the last 50 years or so?

I stillI'll be honest, I said i'd go for the £70 as a max. When it come round to getting mine, only the two prices previously mentioned I could get that was decent.
I think I would of skipped it if I hadn't already of bought the train tickets the day the game was announced for 3pm
I still
after 50 years plus supporting this club
won't join a osc
cos I'm not interested and I'm fair minded.
Was it wrong when season ticket holders couldn't be bothered going to the Community Shield and the Fa cup semi final this year.The system is wrong if people who don't have a season ticket are getting final tickets via a supporters club at the expense of season ticket holders not on the cup scheme.
£220 for a kids and adult ticket.
i must be mad
Unless it was a silver season ticket I suspect someone isn't being truthful.He did well to get a new season ticket this season. Don’t think anyone else did.
I qualified on Friday at 1.00 pm, on 10,000 plus points. By that time, all of the £45 and £70 seats had gone, so I had to pay £115. As you say, it will be worth every penny to watch us win the Cup again. But my son doesn't qualify until Tuesday and with only £225 plus tickets remaining for sale, that's a bridge too far - especially since we would be sitting apart, in completely different parts of the ground. But, that's life, I'm sure there's loads of other fans in the same position; everyone has their financial limits.Scandalous mate, but nothing will change as idiots like us pay it. Hopefully back to back spankings of the rags will make it worth every penny.
For those that were on the cup scheme on the lower points windows were you still able to secure the cheaper seats or were they all gone by then? As previously posted it may pay for itself with just access to the cheaper final tickets.
I’m on cup scheme with 12000 points and qualified at Thursday at 10 there was a few £70 on top tier but not many and nothing in lower tier . I’ve got £115 tickets in safe standing partScandalous mate, but nothing will change as idiots like us pay it. Hopefully back to back spankings of the rags will make it worth every penny.

With any luck most fans will turn their noses up at paying 250, as appears to be the case by the snail's pace sales since friday. They can shove them up their arses !I’m on cup scheme with 12000 points and qualified at Thursday at 10 there was a few £70 on top tier but not many and nothing in lower tier .
