Just bought mine. Thought I'd read somewhere that the prices were going to be the same as the Bayern match but gone up from £38 in the ~SS3 to £50
Outside the cash they’d generate from the membership sales, they’d also have the data of any new supporters who’d be added to the supporter database, to then generate income from in the future.I've already posted this, sorry for repeating myself but I genuinely wonder if they've done this to gain revenue from Citzyen membership sales. All it would take is 3,000 people to sign up and that's £105k in revenue. In addition it would increase the demand for tickets next season allowing them to charge £60+ per home game.
My lad is only a junior citizen so I've had to use a friends ST Supporter number and pay full adult price for the 8yr old boy. Double ouch!All sorted. £65 for my usual season-ticket seat, £52 for an OAP and £38 for my 15-year-old.
Ouch.

Definitely works out a lot more expensive than Bayern when you have 3 tickets to buy.
I really hope that's not the case but I fear you might be right, the Matchday membership is the only option for me currently as I am living in Hull and can't get to as many games as I'd like to. There must be a solution in the middle for the fans who can't afford to get a ST and go to every game but still make the effort to get there as much as possible
I missed the initial sale window for the Bayern game and luckily managed to get one late on in 309 but I was sat next to 8 Canadian sounding lads all supporting Bayern. Feels like the club are just trying to cash in as much as possible sometimes and don't care who we get filling the seats, meanwhile you've got Pep rightly asking for us to bring the atmosphere to the big games.Completely agree pal.
There's a perfectly good points system in place which they aren't using because they can generate higher revenue by just wacking home games on open sale straight away. I'm speculating they're using some surcharge platform where price increases on demand. This platform wouldn't work as well if they staggered sales based on points.
It's the cup scheme prices which haven't changed.Just bought mine. Thought I'd read somewhere that the prices were going to be the same as the Bayern match but gone up from £38 in the ~SS3 to £50
Lots of home games went on sale at the start of the year on the basis of needing a Citizens match day pass. Eg the last game of the season needed one. Important games as the season unfolded needed one.
It's a good move that this game does too but it's patently unfair that one can be bought on Friday along with a ticket for a CL semi.
Yep got them.Now... Just bought ours
Spot on. How can thousands of loyalty points not count for something here. Even just a few hours and then the rest go on sale at 1pm. Just not right. I've contacted the club to raise this and encourage anyone else with the same views to do so. Still time for common sense.The club have got this badly wrong, and they will really alienate and piss off it's true fans. I've been traveling to Manchester for more than 30 years, paying whatever annual membership they charged, accumulating points, buying tickets from a tout for a 3rd division play off final, buying flights, hotels etc, paying good money watching crap PearceBall, but now, for one of the biggest games in our history, I've got the same buying status as a Haaland fan boy who buys a membership today. That is fundamentally wrong, it's utterly unfair and disrespectful to us. Many newbies will simply eff off when Erling goes, but they'll still be expecting me to keep coming over and support the club, after shafting me for the huge game. It's not good enough, it's not acceptable. I rarely critizise the club, but this is an unquestionable exhibition of what they really think of "legacy" fans.
It does say your seat isn’t reserved for cup games, so I guess they want us all starting again for these fixtures, guess it’s so they create a mad scramble/demand for tickets, if you really value your seat/block then I’m sure you’re knocking at the door at 10 amWeird the ticket site. Not on the champions league cup scheme but clicked on to buy a ticket for Madrid and it says choose seat. As a season card holder surely it should give me the option of my own first?

Sounds right to me.Lad turned 18 mid season, his SC is under 18 and for previous cup games it charged U18 rate (his birthday was before Bayern) for this game he’s had to get an 18-21, mark up of £20, anyone know what the usual protocol is?
I am the reverse. I turned 65 a few weeks ago and it would not let me buy a standard ticket, it made me buy a concessionary one (not that I am complaining).Lad turned 18 mid season, his SC is under 18 and for previous cup games it charged U18 rate (his birthday was before Bayern) for this game he’s had to get an 18-21, mark up of £20, anyone know what the usual protocol is?
