Kiev Home Ticket Details

£15 won't gurantee a full house but very cheap tickets were the only way we we're probably going to get a decent crowd for this one

Funny really, I thought you might have noticed as you typed that by the time we play Kiev we will have had 11 extra games at home this season. You might also have noticed that money is quite hard to come by at the moment for a lot of people. My suggestion is that the cost of games this year has really increased and rather than put the cost up from the last round to this, we should have tried to help fans out by reducing the cost.

Oh and my point about getting a full house was based on 40 years experience of knowing that cup competitions tend to build interest as the team progress through the competition. I think more fans will have wanted to go to this game rather than the last round and the round before. Therefore sell the tickets at a good price and the crowd would have been the biggest one this year for a European game.

I know everyone has mentioned Hamburg but that was one of the best nights ever at City. Even you must accept that it was because the club dropped the price to guarantee a full house.

Even you must accept that you can't argue with facts. £15 does not guarantee a full house. We've had four £15 games this season and none of them were full houses, all of them were actually sub-30k.

Yes, cup crowds should get bigger as you progress but there's still no basis to say that we'd sell out at £15 when we managed 37k on £17 in the previous round, which, incidentally, was no higher than what we managed against Salzburg at £20 in the previous round and less than Poznan also at £20. So, although your argument is logical, it is not substantiated by the facts. Individual tickets were cheaper against Aris than in the group stages, and the same plus 33p if you got the 3 for 2 deal, and the crowd was still no better.

Yes, it did, but I also know that we can't expect £5 tickets as a standard. If the club wants to do it as a one-off to pack out the place, for a big occasion, then good, but it can't do it every game on the chance that we get knocked out that round. Hamburg was a quarter-final and we were up shit creek before it kicked off because of Hughes. This is last 16 and I'm hoping we won't be up shit creek before it kicks off.

Does the fact that my argument is logical mean I get some of my credibility back that you claim I lost?
 
I'm afraid due to the stupid ko time I coudn't go even if it was 1p a ticket
 
what makes me laugh is that those whinging about the prices and the same fans that wont turn up, will be spitting feathers when they dont get a wembley ticket (should that occur)

6pm kick off time we can't do anything about, £22.50 we can't do any thing about, somebody mentioned 9 cup games at home this season we can't do anything about( just think how much 9 AWAYgames would be).Every1 on here want's a top 4 finish (champs league) so if (when) we get there we will probably be paying double these prices!!!!.
This my friends is just the beginning of a very (hopefully) long journey & i for1 will enjoy every single minute of it.
