plenty at £400 to £500 as well. I would say we offer a wide range of prices that compares favourably to other top clubs.
‘I’m happy’
That’s the problem isn’t it?
“I’m all right, Jack”.
The red line of affordability was crossed a long time ago for many working class fans. Every single increase after that red line, no matter how small, takes many fans further and further away from tickets being affordable.
Im row s, same block. £415. Slowly creeping up but still fantastic value
Rags are cheaper than city for like for like tickets in many instances. So hopefully you can agree our tickets are over priced as well?
It's a fucking piss take again, yet so many City fans just happy to sit there and eat it up. "Ooh only £20 can't complain because the footballs so good" What a load of bollocks.
Mine has gone up £20 which is nothing in the grand scheme of things, and as I do the 10 Direct Debits I'm not sure I'll notice the £2 extra coming out of my bank account a month as I've been known to put more than that in a jukebox on the weekend.
But where does it end? They've got us completely by the bollocks here knowing that most people are so emotionally invested that they won't give it up.

With the line from the club being -
Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said: "Our season-card holders are the cornerstone of this club and, since arriving here, we have listened to their feedback and their concerns on a great range of issues. By pushing back the date for season-card renewals we hope to make some small difference to the supporters who follow the team every week.
"We have also sought to respond to fans' concerns on pricing and hope that the price freezes in some areas and discounts in most areas of the ground will be welcomed."
When did they stop listening to their feedback? The increase in season ticket prices is probably going to give the club less than an extra £1m, so it's not exactly a game changer as far as balancing the books is it?
Put it out today when everyone's brain washed about Paul Dickov scoring a goal 20 years ago and no one will bat an eye lid.
This is the essence of supply and demand in a nutshell. Although prices are increasing every year, I would say those seats in SS L3 at £325/£415 are astonishing value when you consider our local rivals start much higher (Rags £532/Dippers £685 at 17/18 prices) for what I assume will be similar views. I think the club are saying we need to have a comparable avg season ticket price (and my gut feeling is we are still below those clubs) but maintain access for those who cannot afford these costs. When the extension to the north stand is completed and possible safe standing is introduced, there should be a good choice for all budgets. Regular price rises are much more preferable in my view. If it becomes too expensive, then fans do have relocation options that can actually save them money. I know people don't want to hear that, but that's just the way it is.When the fans say “fuck off” I.e never
I don't disagree with you but its not just at City. Our prices are still comparable with other big clubs - cheaper than most. It's just that we have had to catch up with the likes of the Rags - who had to freeze prices because they were so much higher than ours.
