Re: Season Card Reservation,New ST etc 2015/16 Season.

We t to ask about my seat in South stand today where a step has suddenl appeared they said the seat is staying with the step in place and they really didn't give a toss, told me to write to the club if I had a complaint, I never got an answer from them about the run in with the stewards last season so I won't hold my breath. Seriously thinking of moving now.

I really really dont think we have the fanbase (or at least an affluent fanbase) to be filling these large corporate areas. Look at every game thats a sell out, still plenty of seats in the corporate parts.

I hope I'm wrong because no doubt some smart with a marketing degree on a 6figure salary has looked into it, I just doubt it.

I think there are about 600 seats in the new corporate area, I'm fairly sure that there are a lot more than 600 affluent City fans.

Are you guys talking corporate or premium? There is a big difference.

I'm talking the new premium £1600 - £1700

Right I`ve read all 71 pages and as I`m one of the effected I`m well pissed off. Season card going from 760 to 1300 in one go is a piss take.

Yes I`ve known about it for 3 seasons but it still hurts.[ the choices of moving 3 years ago were limited ]

Many of the "I`m alright jacks" on here state mines only going up £50 so cant complain ! Thats well above inflation year on year and on the back of the biggest TV deal ever.

People say City will have staff who have done their homework to check demand. Then why are the 2 boxes behind block 210 only occupied for so called big games? And please dont say these boxes are already paid for by a company because it`s City who TRY and sell them on a match-day basis . And then end up filling them with sport clubs and school kids for many un popular games.

These staff in suits are probably the very same who overseen the family stand fiasco, or the City Circle embarrassment or the ticket office staff recruitment or even the recent transfer signings.

Who ever is lucky enough to pay £1300 for my seat next season will get a better view of the corner flag than the half way line. But don`t worry you can read your "FREE" program. Or drink your "FREE" beer.And you will have chance to sober up while you wait to exit your "FREE" car park space.

It used to be City Till I Die, but more and more are either City Till I`m Priced Out, or City While My Boss Can Pay For These Seats.

P.S. Sorry I`ve just read the thread regarding the official City coaches getting the fans to Sellhurst Park 30 mins after kick off. Y.C.M.I.U.

I'm out, sadly, the club has priced itself out of the market. What used to be a sport for working people is no longer. Can understand it.. market forces, supply and demand etc.... but you wait, probably within the next decade there will be a significant implosion and the game will be returned from whence it came.

In the meantime it's MOTD and internet viewing for me.... Sky Sports can do one too!

Are the priced out not trying to relocate before giving up? There are about 2,200 new £299 STs and about 1,200 new £380 STs. Chances are high you won't get one in the mad rush of the many priced out (of level 2) or new arrivals to grab one, but surely worth a shot before packing it in completely.

No. They are chucking their toys out of the pram without actually thinking about it too much

As the priced out have first and third pick before any new arrivals i'd say they have every chance of a ticket in whatever price range they like, especially taking into account the seats in groups made available from those that are relocating to the new singing blocks and the seats made available from those that went to viagogo to sell.

I think we'd be foolish not to. 1700 is taking the piss, but yes there are other, affordable options - if one of these is available I will snap it up.

Nice rant.

I've got some good news for you:

i) the only £1300 seat next season in East Stand L2 is one half of 207. The good news is that you could have been in the other half where the price is £1600 next season
ii) if you are in 207 you would have paid £835 this year and not £760. So the 2nd bit of good news is that the increase is not as much as you thought :)
iii) if you are actually in 210 (you might be because of the reference to the boxes behind) you would have paid £780 this year. The 3rd bit of good news is 210 is increasing to £1150 which is "only" £370 more than this year :)
