Imagine spending £500 on 2 tickets and then having to squeeze onto a Metrolink to the ground to sit in the top row of EL3.

I'm just racking my brain to see the benefit of it other than you don't know the area and this is just a way to rip people off?

Guessing? The restaurant makes the money. As the part owners of Tast, Soriano, Pep, and Txiki each get a cut of that money. 19 home a games a season. Not a bad little side earner.

Apart from newspaper rubbish there is no evidence Jos or Beg have any interest in Tast.

If they do it is very minor.

With the Lucky Cat the club must pay up front otherwise why sell a meal and seat package for £20ish?

There is a bit of hypocrisy in this thread for me.

Fans wanting cheaper tickets/season tickets which I totally agree with but at the same time a lot of those fans saying it's wrong that the club have not offered KDB a new contract (350k a week, 18M plus a year).

We can't have both cheap tickets and pay for the best players, or can we?

This has been my point. As a business they need to pay the costs. Why did Erling want to go from £375k a week to £500k a week yet we're all celebrating. The cost of football is just out of control

That’s an interesting question. Someone posted on here earlier that to buy an adult and two kids tickets for tonight’s game would cost around £160. The same tickets for Liverpool v Spurs is less than £80. The Dippers have quite a few players who would probably walk into any team in the World.

You can't have the likes of Grealish, KDB, Ake, Stones etc contributing little this season for well north of a million a week, utter madness.

I would imagine the likes of Khush, Reis , O'Reilly etc are on fairly small money in comparison.

160 quid for two kids tickets is a disgrace but then 300k a week for kicking a ball is even more so but such is the price of "elite" football.

They know what they are doing. Soriano was the CEO of Barcelona and ran the club. He's also a businessman in his own right. The other board members and the managers below them are very clever people and professionals in their fields of business.

A few thousand empty seats against Leicester, Villa, Wolves and Bournemouth won't sway their resolve in what they are doing is right.

But what if what they are doing is wrong? Just because someone is a businessman doesn't make them bulletproof. Hundreds of businesses go bust every week.

Ah?

'But what if what they are doing is wrong?'

You're right.

There's nothing wrong with over 4000 unsold seats for the Villa match.

As you say, Soriano is bulletproof at City, regardless of what he decides and does.
 
Pep is calling on the fans to be loud and noisy from minute one.
Tickets changing hands on BM, Facebook and Twitter for about £20/£25.
City have a few thousand available on the official site starting at £71 each, for a Tuesday night game (with no title challange). Even tout sites are undercutting them.
The market price for this game is £30/£35 or less, but the club'd rather try to sell for double that, and have a few thousand empty seats as a result. And the ones they do sell at £71+ are more likely to neutrals, event tourists, and to wealthier as opposed to vocal fans.
Someone is not doing their job properly.....
