Season Ticket Renewals - small increases (again)

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.

10 years ago this article was released: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2009/feb/10/manchester-city-reduce-ticket-prices

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.

SSL1 up by £20 or £2.00 per month to £655.00. Seems fair value for the football on offer. Just hope the traffic issues on Regent Road and the end of the Mancunian Way are finished sooner rather than later.

And it’s gone up every year now pretty much for the last 8 years .... stop making excuses and defending this greed. They don’t need to increase anything
 
My two seasoncards (adult + kid) have gone up £15 in total. That’s a 40p increase per game, which is nothing, and works out on average less than £22 each per game. Personally I think that is an absolute bargain

I wouldn't renew either for £1,335 and £665 but then I wouldn't have been paying anything like that in the first place. I have a great view at around half the price. It seems as if you could save quite a bit of money by moving!

I've been in 93:20 for past 2 seasons on discounted price after being evicted from block 126 due to Tunnel Club. Have been paying £1000 total for myself & son but prices for next season will be same as above (£2k total). I've enjoyed my time in there but don't think it's worth that amount so will be relocating to a cheaper (mid priced) area.
Question for those who have relocated in the past, are you better off logging on asap to find the best seats or do you find that the better seats become available later in the day as people downgrade from the mid priced seats?
I've been told that I can reserve new seats on the planner and then jump around throughout the day if better seats become available, is that correct?

If you pay with DD you do not have to do anything if you are keeping the same seat.

And if you don't pay by DD but want to take this option for next season, the online renewal won't let you do this!!!
WTF City?!? It's like they never considered the possibility that some supporters might want to change their payment method. Unbelievable.
Our club does so much right these days but it's basic stuff like this that is soooo frustrating.....
 
However small the increase is, it's still yet another increase. Eight years running. Had they froze them this year, it would have done wonders for PR with supporters and beyond.

For the sake of what they will make, it's short sighted. Or maybe we really are just numbers now, and treated so.
