How can you expect City fans to pay £100 more because they are one row in front of other City fans?
I accept price rises are normal per block/stand, but tiered price rises per block is madness.
Imagine paying £100 more or £100 less than the person in front of you or behind you. :-?
Exactly, whoever made this decision is an idiot.

In the £299 to £620 tiers that amounts to 55% of total capacity, £16 to £33 a seat. (£299 - 5%, £380 - 4% BTW).
In the £700 to £900 tiers it's 37% of capacity, £37 to £47 a seat.
In the rich kids seats £1150 to £1750 it's just 7% of capacity (yes, I know I lost 1% somewhere but I did say it was rough), £60 to £92 a seat (gulp).
Now I don't think having around 30,000 seats out of 55,000 that cheap (and it is cheap nowadays) to watch City in their present guise is a bad thing at all.
If you think that makes me a "happy clapper" and you violently disagree (as some seem to on here right now) then perhaps you need to look in the mirror and consider what that makes you.
Decent analysis that CL - great work.
It would be good to get a clear view on the impact of the £5 billion in TV revenues - maybe show what the Club would not be able to book as revenue for next season's FFP purposes if say for example they had frozen all ticket prices?

Yep. Don't get the City Square hate at all. It's one of the best 'fan' things the club has done.

The concept of city square is one of the best things the club has done fan wise since the takeover.

I did something similar earlier.
For the new stand I first did it on the number of seats for home supporters. Block 314 is split home/away and I've assumed 50/50.
£299 - c2200 seats
£380 - c1200 seats
£600 - c1000 seats
I also calculate there are about 890 £380 seats pitch side and another 400 or so more at £475.
As for the "rich kids" seats I've got a lower figure. I make it about 1750 paying over a £1000.
It's probable that your figure for the "rich kids" seats is more accurate, I was using the seating plan and estimating the number of blocks in each coloured segment. I had to fudge some of the figures due to the blocks being different sizes of course. Sorry, there's no way I'm adding up individual seats, I'm not that obsessed... ;)Pablo ZZZ Peroni said:ColinLee said:Actually I realised (after the fact) that I made a cock up on the 30,000 seats out of 55,000 capacity bit.
