They should refund us all but they haven't.
No they SHOULDN'T.

think you've missed the point mate....don't think he's on about not being able to go, he's on about paying £20/£30 quid for a ticket to the game and then the club a few days later lowering the price of a ticket to a fiver. gotta say i agree with him, the fans that were prepared to fork out 20/30 quid fer a ticket are getting fucked over and people who thought "fuck it, it's on telly i'm not paying 20/30 quid fer a ticket" are now the ones gaining the benefit from a £5 ticket.....fuckin disgraceful, the kind of shit you expect the red twats to come up with that shitting on fans.foley87 said:what a moron. the games still on you armchair prick

but within two weeks the flight goes to £5
i think i could have saved £45 and get on with it
why oh why are so many fans believing that it's ok to do this with football tickets? It's NEVER been the case that a club sells a ticket for one price and then weeks later drops it so that the bloke sitting next to you is the same age but has paid £20 less - just because he waited.
City have become like an ebay concert tout! Sell them high, then when it gets close to gig time and you haven't sold many you panic and reduce them. Yes in those cases as a buyer you feel ripped off but you just accept it, but with a football club, who for donkeys years have sold at set prices, it just gets to you.
Those fans who compare it to a supermarket (or flights) are the kind of gullible happy clappers that the club will lap up!!!! If you can't see it from the other side, then you're very selfish and an i'm alright jack.
(And as i said in the other thread, i'm on the cup scheme and got the 3 for 2, so the match is free for me, so it's not like i'm complaining cos of myself. I'm complaining because i believe it to be wrong - some of us have principles!!!)
(yes, you're all about to slag me off. You know what, i don't care!)
FFS I knew I was buying my chickens at the wrong time!SWP's back said:MCFC BOB said:She complained, so they emailed her back and said there won't be a refund.
Good on the club. She has no right of a refund, the club did nothing wrong.
Fucking hate some City fans at times.
You don't get a refund when you buy a chicken from Tesco's at 6pm and someone gets a 50% reduction at 7:30pm. It is exactly the same and it happens with clothes, cars, sofa's, kitchens, holidays and every other purchasable good or service.
She was happy with the price she paid. She paid it. It is of no concern to her what someone else paid the following hour, day, week or month.
The club tries to do something good and allow those that couldn't afford it to go and we get moaning cyrtain twitchers complain. Followed by their son's on a messageboard. Get over it.

why oh why does everyone think those of us who pay full whack can afford it??? maybe we shove it on credit card and can never pay it off, because we're brainwashed loyals who never miss a home match?
Why not start the prices off at £5 then?SWP's back said:kippaxkid74 said:why oh why are so many fans believing that it's ok to do this with football tickets?

It happened last season with the Everton game.
It is fine. I buy a ticket straight away so I always lose out however I would rather sit in a stadium with more fans in it and unlike the OP and you, I am not some precious little twat that cares more about me getting the best deal and ensuring that no one gets anything cheaper than me, than I am about the stadium having a better atmosphere.
It has now happened twice, if you got stung both times, tough shit, you now know it may happen again.
YOU CALL ME SELFISH!??? You don't know the meaning of the word sunshine. How is it selfish to not care if someone pays less than you? You are the selfish bastard and you know it or are not wise enough to understand.
As for being labelled a tout, it is simply the economic model of supply and demand.
MCFC BOB said:I think they should.SWP's back said:No they SHOULDN'T.
We bought our tickets a day before the reduction, and we weren't even allowed in our own seats.
I'm obviously still going to go but I'm really pissed off at this.
My mum was happy with the price she'd paid, but she'd rather have paid £10 for us both instead of £40.
Not happy.
