Liverpool at Home... FROM £57

I speak as someone who can afford these prices. This is a hugely disappointing move by the club.

I have been prepared to accept the price hikes hitherto as just within the bounds of acceptability. That line has now been crossed.

As others have said, this has little bearing on the club's bottom line, and as such displays an attitude towards supporters which is, at best, negligent, and at worst, contemptuous.

For this project to remain in any way virtuous it needs to retain the support of those who were there through those dark, dark days that have helped define this club and make it unique.

The club are playing with fire here if they want this club to retain any of its idiosyncratic identity, which differentiates it from the tired, establishment clubs, who've tried so hard to exclude us from their little club.

The risk/reward ratio here just doesn't begin to add up. Whoever sanctioned this has made a mistake that extends well beyond the extra few quid it will generate and the fact they can't or won't appreciate that is concerning to say the least.

Not a good day for the club and its relationship with the fans. Piss poor, in fact.
 
This is the straw what's broke the camels back for me! It isn't just City although "from £57" we are getting as bad as any club!!!

With a £35 membership and a "from £57" admission price, the first game would have been over a ton all in with transport, programme etc!

Sad to say I'll be joining the many pub supporting City fans from now on! Watch out Failsworth, here I come!

What's particularly sad for me after being a match going supporter since 1983 is I've finally realised Manchester City is just a business and until clubs in England adopt the German model on ticketing prices and safe standing, the traditional "working class" support over here is screwed! Standing on the Kippax paying a pound seems a lifetime ago!
 
As a member of a supporters club this is an absolute joke. Through the years we have had a set ticket price of either €50 or €60 per ticket. This ticket price pushes us up to over €70 per ticket, and I fear for myself along with flight hotel and spending money on top... €140 for two tickets is the final straw! Not worth it to sit beside johnny come latelys who are waiting to be entertained before standing to applaud a goal. Titles are good but part of us is dead now

£32-50 per match for my season ticket to watch the finest City side I've ever seen represents good value to me
Don't agree with the £57 either but I do think we need a little balance on the thread

Well said, pal. Some on here would be happier paying a tenner a ticket while saying "Looks like Scunny again next season"

Some people don't think they should be paying more to watch the Champions than watching the shite served up by Stuart Pearce's team a few years ago.
 
Just can't afford to pay those kinda prices. Maybe I'll get to an early round cup game at best from now on. Can't justify spending £60 quid on a shirt either now!

If this is what brings us the dreaded 'tourist fan', then we're going to turn into everything I never wanted for City. It's probably already begun to be honest.

So 57 quid for the ticket plus £50 for fuel, £15 quid for a couple of pints and a pie. sorry can't justify that anymore had to give my SC up for work reasons, only missed 4 last season not anymore priced me out, been watching for 37 years this breaks my heart!!!!!!!!!!

Might seem like a daft question but you gave your ST up and then went to 15 home matches?
What was the saving?
I gave my SC up three years ago but had a blue card, it was pure luck I managed that many games I was actually working in Bury for 5 months, which is where I am from, this year I have started on a twelve month contract in Northumberland, I will try to get to some matches but will not be breaking the bank to get there like I used to .
 
Absolutely ridiculous and embarrassing.

If there is one thing that could seriously alienate me from this club it's pricing the club out of the reach of the supporters who sustained this club when it mattered.

Why are we trying to copy Arsenal and Man Utd when we don't need to?

Not everyone can afford a season ticket. £35 for a 'Cityzen' membership, then a minimum of £57 for a Liverpool ticket is fucking obscene. Regardless of the players we have on show.
 
Just done the maths if we wernt s/ts me £57 bex £34 james £29 = £120 cost of james s/t ?? £120 complete and utter madness !!
