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

Everybody could do with a break financially. My fucking water bill has risen £18 a month and my council tax £9 a month. That's before all the other cunts letters drop on the mat giving me further good news.

Not easy now is it. My council tax bill dropped today and water last week. Up about £35 a month between them.

In that time we’ve had 10 price rises, my ticket went from half the price of the equivalent at the Swamp to more expensive.

This was for this season (they’ve just announced a 5% increase today):

View attachment 150138

My seat at City is £930, my equivalent seat the the Swamp is £874. 12 years ago I think my seat was £500

Interesting that the lower priced seats at the swamp are level 1 behind the goals rather than at the back.

I can remember the sight lines aren't great down there and they're still more expensive than my mid SS3 SC.

The lack of leg room made it very difficult for anybody above a small adult to sit in those seats. It might have changed in recent years?

Man Utd season ticket price increase: Fans 'disappointed' at 5% rise

Manchester United season ticket prices will increase by about 5% for the third successive year as the club aims to become financially sustainable.

Imagine we did that. Probably next on the list.

I can imagine that actually. Probably given them an idea they haven’t thought about.

I'm sure Utd can only transfer to paid members now too. That's definitely something City will be doing soon. Really force your hand into selling it back to them.

Leeds already have that and the equivalent of match day memberships are between £50 and £75.

What City will do will be influenced by how much money is involved. If they have sense they will reduce the guaranteed ticket exchange refund games (unless tickets sell out).

The fucking government could ease this shit for a lot of low paid people and pensioners by raising the tax threshold for people earning under £25,000 a year or a similar figure. That could put the money the robbing utility companies and councils are taking back into their pockets.
Back on topic the club need to start repaying the fans loyalty rather than abusing it.

They don't really benefit from ticket transfer so I'd be amazed if this isn't introduced soon. Any way to get some extra income will be jumped on.

I do agree that they will probably be looking at reducing the number of guaranteed refunds too. They got giddy and thought we'd always be winning the league or at the very least challenging for it.

Correct, and it must be said that a ticketing plan that is solely reliant on what happens on the pitch is abysmal. Anyone can ride the crest of a wave while we're hoovering up titles, but good executives would establish a sustainable 'business' regardless of on-field performance. In addition to their ethics, I believe certain individuals' competency should be brought into question.

That's always been Soriano's approach, that we should pay increasingly higher prices while we're successful. I always argued at City Matters that we needed a more strategic approach to pricing but of course the club didn't listen. Chickens are going to come home to roost soon.
