Liverpool at Home... FROM £57

[St Helens Blue (Exiled)]

Stoke City from £44. Fucking hell

Ouch

There has been much said about the increase in of £10 for the Liverpool game.

Compared to last season (6 months ago) tickets to see the stoke game have gone up £16

Love city but they are simply wrong in what they are doing.

My season ticket cost £600 this year..My lads £195...
Fantastic pricing but if you haven't got a season card then these prices are simply unacceptable.

This is more scandalous than the Liverpool increase. The word "from" again means tickets for Stoke will be in excess of £50 with Juniors costing from £21.

Madness

Exactly mate.

I am lucky enough like yourself to have a season ticket but what is happening here is just disgraceful.

A 57% increase in 6 months!

Do you think this is a clever way of maximising season ticket sales for the first season in the 2015-16 season?

Just trying to find some logic for this.

The fucked up thing is this comparison for our opening 3 games.

Liverpool (h) up £10

Stoke (h) up £16

Newcastle (a) down £8

So the only saving we as city fans have received is from Newcastle United

But haven't a few thousand fans already forked out £100 as a deposit for next seasons new season tickets and we have a waiting list of five/six thousand.

The club will simply not sell out a 60000 plus stadium on a regular basis at these prices ! In fact they will struggle at the moment. I haven't got a st at the moment but go to a dozen plus games a season which will now be reduced to six or seven based on the info on prices.

 

[CheethamHillBlue]

Fine if you have no problem with from £57 pay it .I go to watch city not the away team don't give a shit if its cat A.b.c 4000 blues are being fleeced for no reason .playing against a so called top team does not guarantee a good match

It doesn't indeed but if you add the £57 to the £44 Stoke rip off that equates to 1/6 of a decent priced S/T. Pay for 4 more matches = S/T.
With an extra 13 home matches FREE. Plus other benefits.

Depends which window you're looking out of at the end of the day.

 

[Blue Smarties]

I'm not paying that price, fuck it.

But how can they buy a season ticket when they are all sold out?

Maybe this is what City are trying to do, ensure that the new ground is full in 2015-16 by making match-day prices so expensive that the only affordable way to watch City is to buy a seasoncard.

It's a nice idea but we all know deep down thats not the reason. Next season when the ticket prices are announced for the individual games and all the season tickets are sold out we will all be back here saying it outrageous that they are charging around £62-£65 for Liverpool (h)

 

[Rammy Blue]

Just be thankful that the country is now booming and we've all got loads of disposable income to cover the rise in prices.....

And some cannot commit to a season ticket nor afford one, they go to a few matches they can commit to and afford because they weren't £57+ for a match. If they buy it and cherry pick when they turn up, then we end up with threads about empty seats.

To be honest those empty seats threads will be lucky to last a page.

'Look at all those empty seats v Stoke'

'That will be the 57% increase in prices on last season'

End of thread.

With prices like these if we don't sell out its completely justifiable to me.

If I didn't drop to gold this season my season ticket over the last 2 seasons would of gone up £110! just hope city start to slow down the increase year in year out, but £37 per game is reasonable and the interest free direct debt scheme helps..

Best scenario would be 80k stadium the Majority of the bottom tiers to be Standing, that would give us at least 65k season tickets that could be sold and quite a few at a reasonable price..

 

[AlgarveBlu]

Does anyone know when the Liverpool game becomes available to City card holders as I couldn't see anything on the website? Managed to wangle some flights to UK for that week but knowing my luck it will be sold out...

 

[baildon blue]

Even the Peter Swales didn't over charge the pay on the turnstile punter . I love winning trophies but I hate being robbed by my own club .

 

[moomba]

Missing the point its the extra £10 on the 4000 match day tickets that's wrong absolutely wrong fuck all in football terms have 1 less eds lad would have the same effect

I think you'll find there are plenty of moaners complaining their S/T has gone up 10% as well. Anyone would think the game was York away instead of the team we traded blows with to win a 2nd title in 3 years.

Do you not think people have the right to complain about regular above inflation price rises?

You write them off as moaners, to me if we had more that refuse to bend over and accept the club fleecing its fans the club might be forced to do something about it.

There are no city cards this year mate, it's either cityzens or nothing. Cityzens sale start on Monday, with required points decreasing each day. General sale tickets not announced, think they are expecting to sell out but at that price I wouldn't be too surprised if they didnt.
