Plzen ticketing issue! Not a happy bunny

[Blue Mist]

Dear Manchester City,
I understand that someone may read this board now and then so please take note.
I will not be joining the Champs League farce next season. I will wait for the reduced prices.
Didsbury Dave says I should think of it like a restaurant, Cleavers can't understand why I don't understand. Well I have now got the message loud and clear, if I am loyal I will be ripped off. If I pretend I am not loyal I will save money. Although I will be there, I always am, I will just not tell you in advance.

Yours, B. Mist

Then you will be ripped off as you'll have to pay an extra fiver per ticket!

Unless, of course, you are at Manchester Uni

Sadly I am way to old for Uni and I am certainly not cut out for it. (as an example I am already up and about !) But it isn't just M/cr Uni. Virgin staff at the airport got loads as did GMP. (I met someone that had bought 6 as his mate worked for Virgin - the £15 went to charity so City didn't even make on it) I am sure I could find a ticket without to much problem. I might even suggest we start it in the Ticket section. Someone will know where to get one and stop me paying full price.
In truth I don't suppose I will but it is a shit trick and I aint happy.

I'm on the cup scheme and of this is the case I'm not happy one bit! Anyone who signs up for these cup schemes should get the best deals.. Next season I'll be thinking of not going on any cup schemes if this is happening!

Absolutely. Anyone committing to the whole series of group matches, knockout and, yeah, the final, should get the best deal.

Theres no room for sentiment in business guys.

The fact is, the owners want as many people through the gates, all paying as much as they would be willing to pay to be there. And that is exactly what they have got. I know we can talk about loyalty etc. but loyalty left football a long time ago. Its no longer a sport but a business. It's not about satisfying the crowd (to the owners), its about making money.

A lot of you wont like that but that is just how it is now and there is nothing we can do to change that.

There is actually. We can stop going or pick and choose games.

With this seasons draw I would have paid for the Munich game only. Next weeks game doesn't appeal at all and I will probably give my tickets away.

Next season I will wait for the draw and then decide.

I think the majority go to watch City rather than whoever we are playing.

So having joined the cup schemes etc I thought I was getting a half decent deal. Have never slagged the club for pricing etc as I understand they have to make money however when I get in work this afternoon and find out that I could get tickets for £15 for Plzen and I have paid £28 I find it a little galling to say the least.
Surely this has to be brought up/highlighted or maybe it has.
It's not the price of £28 as I thpought that fine,it's the fact that any blue in the sports and social can buy a ticket for £15 which has annoyed me somewhat.
Years and years of loyalty apparently mean fuck all.
Just proves that we are seen as cash cows at times.

Why not price it at £15 for cup scheme members????

SHB pricing the tickets at £15 when we have paid £28 is just plain wrong.
There is no way people on the cup schemes should pay more.
The club are wrong in doing this and they should refund the difference or discount
the next match ticket purchased.
#together - my arse!

You do know that these £15 tickets have been discounted to Greater Manchester Police, who are also members of thier sports and social club?! So there will not be thousands of supporters that have paid more than you mate!!

£15 tickets are not on general sale - They are £33 on the website!!!

I dont quite get your point here.bottom line is i paid 28 notes..people i work with paying fifteen pounds for themselves and family members..its bollocks to say we arent being mugged off because we are.

Maybe the majority do but some games ate certainly more appealing than others especially if not included in ST price
