Priced out?

I get that memberships are a perk to get access to tickets quicker/sooner etc. But I genuinely don't understand how for a single premier League game the club will not release it to established supporter numbers once there are tickets left over. I've got 10 years season card history with about 20 aways. If I want to attend a one off v Fulham for £51 I have no option but to buy a £30 uplift? It's so stupid. All that happens is I refuse to pay £80+ and the seat stays empty.
And if most games are sold out anyway why would anyone in their right mind buy one?

Seem to recall Wimbledon and Plymouth in the Full Members Cup had six and four fans in the whole Platt Lane. We've got more in the Junior Blues springs to mind with these and other poor followings in the 80's and 90's

I was at the Wimbledon game. We were singing 'You must of come in a taxi'. There were genuinely 4 fans there, I counted em..it took 2 seconds.

The matchday membership is actually £35, but that gets you £5 off a match ticket. So for Fulham you can get a seat in SS3 for £25. The total cost is £60 (with membership), and you get a £15 online voucher for the City Store, and 10% discount on purchases.
The memberships aren't going away, they're too lucrative... Probably worth getting though if you wanna be able to buy tickets. For games like Fulham where there's loads of spares floating, you only need a membership number to accept a transfer. You'd easily get one on the tickets thread without paying the £35 matchday ransom.

I get my tickets transferred too me off a ST holder (friends and family) and i don't have the 'membership' thing.
 
Queued for nearly two hours, got two sat next to each other £78. Just fuck of City I'm not paying those prices.
By the time I add on a day off work ( Monday ) plus travel cost ....nah think this is my last season. Two booked in April and may than I think that's me finished :(
 
The lad who sits next to me couldn't go on Saturday, so I bought his ticket and took the elder of the the two little Miss DD's
As a thank you, she bought me a beer and we stood having our drinks at the top of block 102

I couldn't believe how many tourists were going in and they're obviously paying a premium for their tickets
I also couldn't believe how many people were turned away for trying to take a beer in
 
Thinking about knocking my matchday membership on the head for next season.
Got 4 games this season but all single can't sit with my lad.
Spent at least 6 hrs this season queueing on the website to get just 4 games.

I don't enjoy sitting on my own and not being with my lad. Football is about father and son time, enjoying the match together.
This isn't happening this season.
If I'm not enjoying the experience there's no point going.

It's sad to have to admit that the club you have supported for 64yrs, that you now can't get tickets and when you do it's nearly 80quid each.

Possibly for the Rags game which more tickets were released today?

They were charging £77 for the Spurs game on alot of areas in the ground. It's scandalous.

I've the same issue as @give it to gordon all I'm getting is single tickets, Most of the time seats that is 6 or 7 seats apart and asking people to move up a seat. I won't go to the football on my own as I wouldn't leave my daughter at home whilst I go to the game. We either both go or don't go at all.

It's a massive issue for fans that can't get tickets that are seated together, The price of tickets also is far too much for certain games.
