Priced out?

They're helping me get through this tough run I must admit.

12 fantastic years followed by 12 poor weeks. That’s not too bad in my book.

That's certainly what they should be doing, if they're not already (and they wouldn't say much when the subject was brought up at City Matters).

However those touts are also committing a criminal offence by unauthorised reselling of football tickets. There are enough police around on match days so you also have to question why they're not acting. The club and GMP could easily arrange to swoop on some of these. Then publicise the fact they've done this and that a number of season tickets or memberships have been cancelled.

Mind you, they won't lift a finger to stop smoking inside the stadium, even when people are vaping in plain sight of stewards in their seats.

The touts are usually right by the coppers near the trams. As inept as Merseyside police.

Oddly worded.

City could agree to curtail price hikes until 2025/26 - and allow minor increases until then?

Jimmy Ratweazle has his client media and they won’t argue against all price rises.

This is one of the reasons why season ticket and match day ticket prices keep on going up every season.

City are still way behind United, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool, and Chelsea when it comes to match day income/revenue.

That’s what the people running City are looking at, and measuring our match day income/revenue by.

Hopefully the expanded North stand, hotel, etc, will close that match day income/revenue gap further.

I doubt we’ll be seeing any season ticket and match day ticket price freezes in the future, let alone cheaper PL season tickets and match day tickets.

City will over take Chelsea’s match day income/revenue when the North stand, hotel, etc are completed. Chelsea are looking at a new and bigger stadium. Liverpool would be the next target, but they have fewer season ticket holders, more match day ticket sales, and are looking at expanding Anfield again. Arsenal are looking at expanding the Emirates. United are looking at a new tax payers stadium. Spurs are making loads of match day income/revenue from their new stadium.

I’m not seriously suggesting they do it but it kind of puts things into perspective that according to those figures, City could let everybody into every match for free and still generate more revenue than everyone bar United.

plus pay us attendance allowance for creating a shit atmosphere.....apparently.

I feel so sorry for telly watchers.

A good thing would be for the players to take a 5% cut in salary & for City to reduce match day ticket prices. The former is less likely than the latter.

It’s possible that the Club would do targeted reductions as long as match day revenue grows. The remaining South Stand L3 tickets could have been reduced by halve in the week before the Everton game. Junior match day tickets across the ground could have been reduced likewise. It’s disappointing when some of our fans say the Club can’t do that because I’ve already bought my ticket at full price. Take the rough with the smooth, please.

Fans can act without affecting support for the team. For example, activity on the Ticket Exchange has been decimated in the run up to the West Ham game.
