Is it just me or have our ticket prices increased vastly ??

Ah, a thread about the ever increasing cost of going to watch City and, without fail, it brings out the usual 'swining cock and bollocks', "I'd sacrifice my first born, you wouldn't, I'm a bigger blue" brigade out in force with their bullshit comments.

It is absolutely pathetic that threads like this are constantly full of, mostly the same, characters who have zero empathy with the situations of others and think that their glib, throwaway "don't buy a kebab every week comments are in any way relevant.

In fact, it rather gives them away and says a lot about the quality of their social circles.

Meanwhile, it has absolutely fuck all to do with hard working families who have been scrimping and saving to manage to go to City as football has become more expensive over the last 20 years and still get shafted year upon year.

And I say all that as someone who can easily afford the price of his season ticket. I'm just not a selfish, unsympathetic tosser.

Oh, and as for the "it's UEFA and their rules" merchants.

Please find a quote from the club that has ever, just once, offered this as an explanation for next season's increased season ticket/parking/food/ticket/drink prices.

Because, unless I am mistaken, no-one at the club has ever suggested anything of the sort (although I stand to be corrected).

Face it, Garry Cook talks the talk about the fans who have kept this club going for years, but all the actions regarding next season's costs for people who have been going for decades suggest that he is actual much more interested in attracting a new breed of rag type fans that will be wanting to spend much more money on tickets and all sorts of associated tat in their 'matchday experience.'

It's easy to say that you are a 'fan's man' but when you are simultaneously increasing all associated costs, it rings a bit hollow to me.

We disagree at times but that should make some "fans" ashamed of themselves,i have nothing in common with them whatsoever & the fact i sit in the same stadium as them is not a nice thought.

As a young career minded lad it will be interesting to see if the owners can make big profits out of city if its threw the actual club or the advertising of abu dhabi to holiday makers and businesses

SWP is back you started a thread complaining about exec price rises, this is no different so don't be a hypocrite.

Dont agree, if you want something in life you get it, just depends on how much you want it, i work another job now to get it, im speaking for my age bracket, people save up to go on holidays, because they like holidays. i save up for a season ticket, because i like city.

Massively agree. Whether it be my Season Ticket, or a new phone, or a new pair of shoes, I work my arse off to get it by any means.

Also, massive credit should go to the supporters who have to travel to get to games. Always love reading their stories in the programmes, always admire them too. I take for granted that I can just pop in the car and be at the ground 20 mins later. (although I'm hopefully moving to York to go to University in October, so I might be about to become one of those people!)

I could of got a SC this season but opted out due to work commitments.... They are decent value and competitively priced however it wouldn't get used asmuch so i opted for a CityCard.

£100 for two of us is crap, but as others have pointed out: it looks like its cup games this season.

I did struggle to justify the cost but next season i will just buy a SC and if my seat is empty then so be it, i'd still be better off financially.

Not read the entire thread, but I assume the £48 Tickets are for Category 'A' games ie, Sky 4. Therefore, it should be cheaper to see all other games, but if it costs £48 to watch City vs. Wigan it's a disgrace.

Simple solution then, no one forces you to be on here, intact you have never said anything pro city and you come across as.... Fuck it, I ain't getting a warning over the likes of you.

No, go on, please do. Let me guess. Rag? Miserable bastard? Sad case?

Whilst you are at it you could drop a few hints about how great you are and a few bits of information that are designed to impress, well, I don't know who. People leading a sheltered life, I guess.

That's how it usually goes isn't it? Not that I make a point of looking, but when I can guarantee that you will post within 3 hours of any post that I put on here, you tend to notice certain traits.

Its like Didsbury Dave in another username.

Ten times worse mate and you are so correct tonight (and it is not often I say that!). I know so many "fans" that can't afford season tickets but have been on holiday this year etc etc. I couldn't afford both at the minute so I am not going away. I place my City SC top of my priority list. I make no apology about that. I also work fucking hard (and did in the past) to be in a position to make that decision. I am not rolling in it but you cannot tell me that people can't afford £6 per week for a value season ticket? If that is the case then they should be evaluate where they put City.

What do they want? I ask genuinely. What price should City put SC's at? We are already one of the cheapest in the top 10 let alone for the money the club has invested on the team and fans in the past 24 months.

Some people are never happy but fuck it, I am. I am watching my team play Inter on ESPN, drink in hand and can't bloody wait for the coming season.

Ah, to go back to the good old days of self-sufficient affordable Pearce football...

Not for me may I add but someone I work with. I also got shouted down by the likes of you and the over whelming tide of feeling that it was fine may have changed my mind. Is that not allowed?

I ask again. What should the club do then?
