sounds similar to how Arsenal do it.
yes it sucks but this is the only way success is sustainable, with FFFP coming into force. there will always be a large section of the stadium available at decent prices, as well as your standard membership, but it's becoming the norm to gouge the priciest sections. Plenty of our more affluent supporters will bite at 2.5k. I certainly would if I earned a bit more.
lets say they get 1,000 in, that's 2.5m quid. equivalent to 5,000 extra seats in the ground.
Maybe, but most of our most affluent supporters aren't the ones with the most points I'd guess.
Also, you're paying £1900 for 1 seasons away tickets and an undetermined number of cup games in fa, carling and either champs league or europa (if we finish 4th and lose in the qualifier)
Without knowing the income of all of our supporters they will have had to make some kind of call. And you could argue that to have over 8,000 points you have a few quid to spend on City. Maybe not the most affluent but the disposable income with which to be attracted by such a membership.
And i'd also have thought that a similar scheme will be available to any supporter who can afford it, regardless of points. Otherwise the club is just leaving money on the table.
When the site launches tomorrow it wouldn't surprise me to see a good/better/best range of options, with the seasoncard merged in with it under the common brand of "Membership". Plus perhaps an international membership, which essentially is free money for the club.
