What are peoples experiences/views on this on match day. I know it’s not gonna happen till next season but I want to treat my dad for his birthday (providing we’re back next season) is it worth the money? Which options do people feel are the best? Thanks in advance
 
My nephew won a comp at City. Seats and a meal in the Directors lounge. It was against Spurs in the league when Foden scored the winner. Just after that champs league game.
Ended up sat on the front row along from the Spurs contingent including Levy.
Decorum went out the window when we scored, we resembled the Young ones on the university challenge episode. Definitely an eye opener on a different match day experience.

I've done Legends twice and the Mancunian once.

Both are good for a special treat but I think the Mancunian edges it because you are on the halfway line rather than behind the goal. There was nothing wrong with the food at Legends but the meal at the Mancunian was very nice.

I wouldn't mind trying The Ardwick...

We did Legends a few seasons back - Decent food but not the greatest seats behind the goal. I'd rather have paid a bit more for Mancunian and be seated level with the halfway line.

Like most things in life, you get what you pay for - If it's a proper treat for your dad, take him to the Tunnel Club. I've heard some very positive comments about the 'experience' being good value for money for a 'one-off'. Just hope that he doesn't expect you to do the same for every home game ;)
 
As obvious as it sounds the more you pay the better the experience, unless money is no object I would look at the Chairman's or the Tunnel club for a lesser game rather than pay a similar price for a high profile game in the Legends.

Done both Tunnel clubs, gold and silver and both were brilliant. Had chats with Serrano, Tikki. Zinki and Mendy who was out injured at the time.
My lad was excited to meet a couple of lads from Blossoms, one of his favourite bands.
its a tad expensive but it makes a special occasion very special.
 
In reply to the OP, I think you need to identify what’s most important to you;
- being made to feel special
- quality of food
- quality and view from seat
- interaction with past players
- possible interaction with current players
- cost
- atmosphere with others attending hospitality

The quality of opposition directly, and significantly, impacts the cost of each hospitality facility.

For me I’d take a Citizens experience v Liverpool over one of the higher end options v Sheffield.

Putting these in your order of importance will point you in the direction of the most appropriate hospitality experience. They all have their place, but some of them can get ridiculously expensive for what is a game of football, viewed from a nice seat, with ok/good/excellent food.
 
FWIW..took my kids and nephews for a Corporate visit as a birthday treat for my youngest. Contacted the club and told them we had booked and my absolute hero was Colin Bell. I expressed my love for the King and if he could say hello, it would be a perfect day. Had the meal, Brightwell and Edgehill came and had a chat, about to go out to the match, had given up hope and literally five minutes before KO Colin Bell comes to our table. Everyone was staring. I had tears in my eyes, didnt know what to say, and he was a quiet chap too. Signed my book and off he went. For me, one of the best days of my life. A great experience, and if you have a legend hero, may be worth asking if they will come to see you too.

I have not been in since the revamp, but I really enjoyed the Legends lounge, a bottle of red helped of course.

Agreed, been a while for me, sure Fulham beat us 2-1. On a positive note my 2 boys got to chat and have their photo with the late great Colin Bell
 
Im trying to book into the Mancunian for my wife's birthday but it keeps telling me I need to by 4 tickets rather then the 2 I want. I assume they are out of tables for 2.

Currently bouncing between Citizens lounge and Legends. Legends looks nice but is behind the goal where as Citizens is half way line.

Im in the Citizens tonight (never done it before) so will let you know what i think tomorrow.
 
Did the Mancunian and thought it was a great experience, best seats i've ever sat in at the top of the directors box, thought it was cheeky drinks weren't included but must have been at some point in previous seasons as some information online says it is, could just be that this was "Cheaper" for the Fulham FA Cup game than what people would normally be expected to pay
