The bigger problem is that i won't be taking my son to games when he's older, i want him to enjoy live football rather than being an armchair fan so i'lltake him somewhere else.

If you cant tell the difference in playing Real Madrid & Ajax then nothing anyone can say will ever sink in . can just see you rolling up at you`re local working mens club to see fred smith do his `turn` for £2 only to be told `its a tenner tonight, we`ve got Frank Sinatra`.......fuck that i`m off to bargain booze for a four-pack.
As for your kids just tell them you cant afford it, be the best lesson you ever give em , a lesson in life: you cant have everything you want.
?? I've been to virtually every home game in the last 40 years to watch City, doesn't really matter who the opposition is. I'm afraid you have little idea what being a City fan means. I'm on my first glass of Rioja by the way.
Who said it disgusts me paying more? I just don't want to pay any more! I'll be going to the match until the time I leave this world. Have a look at my post on page 4 of this thread.

I in cup scheme so get a fiver reduction but still tenner.
What gauls me is the 16-21 price is £35.
Oh yeah - even worse!!!
I take one of my son's friends with me who was 16 last month and still at school. His mum is a single parent and he pays for all the additional games over and above his season ticket himself out of his paperound money. I very much doubt he'll be going to this. Sorry state of affairs really.
I've got 2 lads, both under 16 who don't miss a home game. The wife absolutely hates City because of the amount of money she now sees going out of the already sad looking bank account.
jacko your woman rules the roost in your house and tells you when you can go to City

Hi blues!
First; I'd like to apologize in advance. I know I'm probably in both the wrong forum and thread but I'm kind of stuck in a bad situation, and because of my lack on amount of posts I can't start a new thread in the right forum.
I've booked fligh and hotel for the week we take on Real Madrid, but I've got no purchase history - got the Blue Membership, Ticket priority etc.
As I live in Denmark I'm not in Manchester on a weekly basis and therefore haven't attended any home games yet.
I was so unfortunate to book flight + hotel right after the ticket information for the Dortmund game was released - which said nothing about any attends prior to a specific date and so on. So now I've got a £750-stay with no guarantee of what we're really coming for.
Is there possibly a kind soul who would be willing to get me 2-3 tickets (preferably 3 as we're three lads going). As it's against the rules for you to charge more than face value, I'll offer you an additional £30-beer "certificate" for whatever pub you'd like - per ticket ;-)))
As I don't expect anyone to spend any of their own money because I'm a fool, I'll transfer the ticket + postage cost in advance and the "certificate" will be given on matchday personally.
Again; I apologize for this rather long post in the wrong thread.
Regards,

I'm not surprised they are charging more tbh. Normally I head to the games I can with my dad and a few mates. Yet for this game I have had about 10 neutrals from uni/work who want me to get them a ticket, the draw for this game is huge. This is reflected in the price increase as well as the purchasing criteria.

i think a one off ticket of £45 is not bad at all to watch Real, i wont be going this as a lot of my spanish mates want it, and i have no interest in the Chumps league at the moment,

Others who can afford the price believe it is fair in comparison to what others pay. Unfortunately its likely the prices will continue to rise and more people may fall into the bracket of being priced out.
Personally I'm on the borderline of still going but finding it increasingly difficult. For those who say, well don't go out for a weekend and use that money, alot of people have already made these sacrifices.
Its easy for the, i'm alright jack brigade, to criticise others but when they are in the same boat as those complaining now they may understand.
Yes, in comparison to the typical prices paid for these games city are comparative. The problems is all prices are expensive and football may be shooting itself in the foot long term.
^^THIS^^ most the people who are saying the prices are fine can afford it, the ones that are saying its not are already being priced out.
