Open Letter on Season Tickets and Pricing | Club announce price freeze on "general admission season tickets & PL match tickets" for next season (p163)

I have probably fallen into the category of missing at least 5/19 matches (I do pass it on or stick on the exchange) with all the midweek games/sunday matches and living 250 miles away and with a finite holidays allowance.

The big two issues preventing me giving up is the disparity between the cost, per match, of season tickets to one off tickets and also part of the match day experience is the people you sit around.

When I heard about the Flexi scheme this sounded perfect for me, but unless i am misinformed (which I could be) the 150 pound upfront fee and not being able to revert back to a season ticket (if circumstances change) ruled out this option.

I think a lot of fans feel a bit stuck, potentially not being able to commit to every match but if they did get rid of their season ticket, then being priced out by the one off ticket costs. For me the moment I give up
my season ticket would probably be my last game as paying upwards of 60 quid a ticket, 100 pound in petrol/toll to sit on my own would probably kill any enjoyment.

Like you say the important bit is you pass on or exchange. I’ve missed more games in the last two years than the last 20 combined but it’s easy now to make sure the seat doesn’t go to waste and if they did increase the price to prevent this I would have to rethink

I was right behind the incident with the American ‘fan’.

He jumped, grabbed his phone, spun round and started filming the Liverpool fans celebrate.

Obviously that does not warrant being battered, but it was hardly the type of etiquette you’d expect to see a City fan display after conceding a goal to one of our biggest rivals.

This insinuation that City fans are suddenly racists/xenophobic is pathetic. City fans are against rival fans infiltrating the home end. That is something deep routed in British football culture - it’s not a City problem.

It’s got fuck all to do with where someone is from or what skin colour they have.

The club have created a rod for their own back by enabling rival fans to easily acquire tickets in the home end (which is a problem exacerbated by the fact that the club is pricing out the regulars).

Thinking more about the actions of the american after the liverpool goal, I don't think the argument that he shouldn't have been taking photos of liverpool fans is a fair defence.

If I go to America and watch a hockey or American football game while I'm over there, I have no idea what the etiquette is when the home or away team do whatever the equivalent of score a goal is.

I'm guessing the American had never been to a football match over here before so would be a similar situation to me watching a tampa bay buccaneers match.
