outpricing and moving longterm season ticket holders

[squirtyflower]

Feel free to merge but disgusted with the plan to create new corporate sections in parts of the second tier of stadium. Apparently prices will go through the roof to create a new corporate area. Just what are the club playing at?? Loads of us have sat there since we moved to the Etihad and now we will be priced out. Die hard, proper city fans sit near me and we risk being shoved out so that the club can create a few extra quid to accomodate idiots who know nothing about City. Plenty have had season tickets for 20+ years. Where is the customer loyalty?? Disgusting.

The club informed season card holders of this five seasons ago

We've even had letters and everyfink

It's fine as the mods are not seated in level two and have to toe the party line.

You don't own the seat, you rent it.

As has been said, notice was given a long time ago and I think that's fair notice from City. Compare it to renting property, if a Landlord wants you out (e.g. because they are selling the property) they only have to give you notice in terms of months. In my case it was two months notice just before Christmas, it was and is all perfectly legal.

So a notice in terms of years for a seat in a stadium is extremely fair compared to months when it is your 'home'.

You're entitled to your opinion and all that, but I sympathise with those who rent their home.

Thanks for your 20+ years of custom but fuck off. We've got tourists to entertain who have deeper pockets. Absolute joke shop.

East and West stands only
Prices will increase the closer the seat is to the half way line
As I posted above, everyone was made aware of this five years ago

I know it was five years ago because that's when I relocated out of tier two East Stand. The same season the North Stand was changed to the family stand

Dickie, please send me the the confirmation stating that we would all have to move to cater for some half and half scarf wearing corpoarte monkey dated 2010?

I've been searching the site
So far I've only found this link in which it refers to the "10,000"

but there have been more than one thread on it in the past
I'll keep looking

I'm not in level 2 so I've never seen the letter and my memory isn't great, but I think these threads are about the same thing:

Got fantastic seats in 209 but they were expensive this season and was thinking about giving them up anyway, this will make my mind up for me, each game costs about £120 (excluding cost of 2 seats).

Will revert to being a tourist and an armchair fan.

Absolutely. Why shaft the hard core supporters though?? PB is already predicting profits so why go after the people who have supported the team through the hard times??

I think this is the thread that says it all
I've only looked at the first page but there are quotes from the official letter

I sat in 219 East Stand for Liverpool game and guy next to me is a SeasonCard holder And he said that night that next season (15/16) Prices where going to be around £1100/1200 for his seat, said they were trying to push them out as they want them for corporate.
