Priced out?

Yup unfortunately I'm working and my ticket has been listed for over a week and not sold, my season ticket is only £380 so won't get much back, I wonder what they are asking for it

£51 or £53 I think, depending on where in the ground your ticket is. Presume it's SS3 going off the price of your ST?

Think about £50, but price has nothing to do with why I ,and I guess many matchday buyers aren't going. I's a midweek in December and I live in Scotland with work today and tomorrow.So whether the ticket is £30 or £50 makes no difference to whether I and I suspect many others go or not.

That's definitely true for the blues like yourself who put the miles in the watch City. However there are literally thousands of match day members in Manchester who will not be going because £52 is too much (which all the other costs this time of year).

If tickets were £40 for this match, it would be a sellout.

Yeah SS3, I moved from the north stand when they built the stand and was lucky enough to get the what was then £299 otherwise I'd have been priced out quite some time ago

Ridiculous pricing. We need to be encouraging more of our local fan base. Its as if all the football clubs don't give a shit. It's the same in other areas too - Tickets for Cricket Test Matches, Cinema, Theatre - all bloody extortionate.

Also you take into account the TV rights are split across different platforms for sport - we're all being well and truly scammed

At least it isn't £62 like the Rags are now charging against Forest on Saturday for Adults, Pensioners and kids. Trying to find a slight positive on our ticket prices. Which really isn't a positive.

You take the best price you can get

And then you must take the risk that comes with it.

Spot on. They could've taken us all along on the ride - long-standing fans, local fans, new fans, and tourists - without alienating any of those groups of people, but they've chosen not to. People who say that's part of modern football when you become successful are missing the point. It literally doesn't have to be like that. You can cater for all types of fan without pissing them off and still make a lot of money as a result. The short-sightedness of some at our club is now coming to the fore with this recent run of results and the decision to farm out thousands of tickets to ticket agencies for tonight's game which have now been returned, when those tickets could've gone on sale to members back in the summer and would've shifted.

The short sightedness both on and off the pitch is really starting to come back and bite the club on the arse.

Pep has held everything together on the pitch until recently. He has papered over the cracks with regards to poor recruitment and letting excellent young players go in the the obsessive pursuit of player trading profit. The decision makers have piggybacked on his genius with ticket price increases and chasing tourists/corporate, whilst neglecting the core fanbase, thinking the good times will continue to roll.

I’m really not sure the hands we’re in are as good as we thought they were. These people talk a good game, but they need Pep, without him they’re a bit shit.

Quite fancied going tonight as I'm off work tomorrow and it's an earlier kick off.

Gone on to the site and it still says "restricted sale". I'm a Citizens member(the £25 one) but not a matchday member. I don't know if being a matchday member would make me eligible to buy one but then it's £35 plus the price of the ticket. Not doing that.

If I see a single empty seat on TV tonight...

If you wantto go tonight you can will be able to pick up a ticket on the tickets thread of this forum for peanuts. You haven’t been priced out.
