I've just had a quick look. The cheapest adult bog standard ticket for Aston Villa is £ 71. Priced out? Fuck yes! No wonder there's over 4000 available.

Just received an email to say that ST holders can get an additional three tickets for Villa at home.

Asked my Sister if she fancied getting one as well as her two oldest kids. Had a look and it’d come to £157 (£71 for the adult and £43 each for the children, aged 12 and 10) for the cheapest ticket options for a night match.

She told me to get fucked!

Liverpool v Tottenham is coming up at Anfield. Tickets for one adult and two children for that game would come to £79 (£61 for the most expensive adult ticket and £9 each for the children).

City are doing it wrong!


‘YOU’VE PRICED OUT OUR KIDS, YOU’VE PRICED OUT OUR KIDS, OH MAN CITY, YOU’VE PRICED OUT OUR KIDS!’

And this is why the club don't want season ticket holders. £71 x 19 = £1,349 (I am aware some games may be cheaper but some more expensive). The season ticket for that seat might cost £710 (based on block 117), club can generate £600+ extra. Multiply that by 30k seats and it's another £18m!

The directors have already reduced season tickets by 4000,p if the figures they gave to CM are true?

Let’s see how man season tickets, correction, Flexi-Gold scam tickets, the directors make available when the new north stand ‘Hospitality tier’ opens.

As you can tell from my post, I’m utterly cynical of the directors and their intentions for season tickets and match day tickets going forward into next season.

This is the one thing which I’m sure does not appear in any algorithm that those that set ticket pricing at City use.

Whether it’s seasoncards or those that have to buy individual tickets - once you get out of the habit of going you probably won’t go back. How many have sacked it for good this year I wonder.

The thousands of tickets available at remaining home games this season should have a few people at City shitting bricks with another 9000 seats due to appear early next year.

At current pricing there will be thousands empty every week once the stand is open.

If I was the City Board I would start trying to build some bridges with supporters very quickly cause the disconnect is seriously damaging the club.

Plus 30K people x 19 to buy stuff from the Superstore.

The last thing I bought from there was a polo shirt when we went back to a proper badge.

I just got an email telling me I can buy 3 more for Villa. Most adults tickets are £71 plus! Even at the back of SS3. Kids from £43.

2 adults 2 kids £228 for a game the day the kids go back to school after Easter and a 8pm kick off on a Tuesday night.

Only works if they sell them, which they’re clearly not doing. Another season like this and they’ll struggle to fill what they’ve currently got never mind the expanded NS. It’s shortsightedness at its absolute worst…

which is exactly why they dont care if a seat is unsold for a few games each season, they coin it in on the other games.
 
About 500 seats for Palace up on the planner, £61 SS3, £63 ES3, before discount. Mostly singles.
They are going for about £25/£30 on here, on Facebook and on Twitter. That's the real market price. And should be the official price for a single seat for a game like Palace at 12:30.
You'd fill it if you wanted to....

£30 is a reasonable price for any PL match.

Clubs have been taking the piss out of fans for years and will continue to do so until people stop going. Why do you think our 'target audience' is tourists and corporate hospitality?

Don’t be daft - why try and fill the seat when they can piss off loyal supporters and have it empty.

Can somebody also tell me why the City Matters meeting last week is still shrouded in secrecy.

Why are the members that attended falling for this nonsense. They are supposed to be there representing supporters - yet they can’t tell us what was said.

Absolute bollocks

Like Bradford have been doing in League 2.

Another game priced at a tenner at the weekend, 22,214 there in League 2

The match day prices are disgusting. No wonder the age of our crowd is so high, how on earth do young adults or people with families afford to go to league games anymore?

We’re fcked in 20 years, as the next generation aren’t in the habit of going to games

Sadly I got no chance of taking my boy to West Ham with the cost of ticket/train… instead taking him to my local team Ebbsfleet (worst club in the country) but we can walk to the ground, get a cheap ticket on the day, be right close to the pitch, crowd is good - it’s actually a nicer experience.

But do you actually support Ebbsfleet? Do you jump up and down when they score?
I could watch Bury or Prestwich Heys for a lot less than I pay to watch City, but I could never develop the same sense of belonging as I've been a City fan too long.
Those that know me might suggest I could watch Salford City just as easily, but that won't happen with the stench caused by their ownership.

No, i get what you're saying - my affiliation for sure is Hammers but my days of shaking with nerves and celebrating madly when we score has come to an end anyway, other things in life way more important.
Ebbsfleet is just a more relaxed day out to watch the footie and the kid loves it.
