Season Ticket Pricing as a result of Stadium Expansion

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

True, and if the tops of the 2 ends are £299 then I wouldn't have thought the tops of the two sides, at least the blocks furthest from the half way line could be a lot more than that.

Look at the plan and the price structure, only about a third are in the 299 to 499 bracket thats about 4600 at tops so where do you get 7K @ £299

i looked at the plans and about half look to be in the 299-499 bracket, thats where i got 7k (half the 14k increase.

and how many of those will be £399 and £499?

There will be less than 2000 seats at £299 in my opinion even if both ends built.

Would be good if the club would clarify. You think they would if it was going to be as high as 7000 as nothing to lose by doing so.

I'm going to make a post from the other side of the coin here; it's at least from a perspective that I haven't seen anybody else post from in respect to the potential larger corporate area.

I'm a director of a small limited company (boo hiss, I hear you Marxist swine shout from the back) but in reality I'm a white collar professional earning an income that is probably much lower than the national average. This level of corporate hospitality appeals to me, as I'm sure it does to many others too, as it’s i) relatively affordable; I won’t go into too much detail as to the economics of why £1,150 to a limited company isn’t comparable to £1,150 being paid from somebody’s pay packet but it boils down to potential corporation tax saving, potential dividend savings, potential networking and the additional revenue that can bring in.

I had previously enquired, a couple of seasons ago this is, as to the cost of the box for a season, which was an eye-watering £36k+VAT (from memory). This isn’t feasible for a company of my size as obviously the cost is going to outweigh any potential revenue it might earn. However 4x £1,150 is reasonable from the perspective of a business expense that could, potentially, earn a contract that covers this and more.

Now as this applies to being feasible for me, I can only presume the same is true of other SMEs, and to remove the preconception people may have of what SMEs are, we’re talking potentially plumbers, builders, roofers, etc etc et al, essentially manual labour working class trades that trade under the legal entity of a limited company as well as anybody else that is self employed as uses a limited company as their method of trading.

That’s my 2p worth, to think that these seats in level 2 will be populated by rich types is wrong and to think that they’d go empty, is certainly wrong.

To be honest mate i,m losing the will. Ive gone from sitting on the wall at the front of The Kippax to standing on The Kippax to sitting on The Kippax
then moving stadium and sitting in the New Kippax (East Level 2) and now being outpriced of my seat. Enough is enough for me.
We have the biggest club in the world down the road who can't sell out every week and I'm being priced out because of unneeded expansion.
Maybe I'm just too long in the tooth to accept the change but we'll see

Ha ha ............. you sound exactly like me mate. ........ I actually had check I had't written that ha ha

(the only difference was I started by sitting on the back corner wall of the Kippax open end next to the North Stand then progressed to the front wall)

At last , common sense

Take that the "Blue Moon Chippy Brigade"

We are Jamie's Corperate's and we are coming to get you.

I will copy and paste my bit from previous

I will add my ten penneth :


City are not a charity and we need to break even , at the very least.

City are matching the big clubs in every area except match day revenue . City will achieve this by:

- Making level 2 a premium tier catering for all business needs ( don't forget out of the £70 million shortfall between ourselves and the rags / Arsenal more than half of that deficit is from corperate revenues).

- Extending the stadium to cater for our loyal fans who are and remain the clubs life blood and offering seats that suit most budgets.

I don't see the problem at all.

Well done City , yet again and thankyou Sheikh Mansour.

Corporate hospitality isn't an allowable deduction against profits for tax purposes.

Edit - yes, sorry I see your point; you wouldn't be able to offset the cost of the ticket against CT, the saving would be against additional personal tax.

Existing corporate hospitality (not boxes) is only sold out for big games as far as I can see.

And the corporate team will have a lot more seats to sell in two years time.

I also wonder how many opportunists will spend the £1150 not to go to games but to sell on the higher profile ones for profit.

100% correct

Being in the firing line in 201, whilst I know I will be able to stand an increase from £775 to £1150 (if I can pay in installments) I'm pretty certain that a large number of the gang I sit with (about 25, all from the same SC Branch) won't - so I suspect we're probably all going to move to the south stand...

If you move to the south stand am I right in assuming you won't be looking at the £299 tickets and therefore not competing with people on the waiting list for the new cheap tickets. Also why would you go straight for the South without looking at maybe 101 or 301 ?
