Season Ticket Renewals - small increases (again)

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

jut got in and read my email from city,so they are not scrapping platinum when most thought they would
still 100 extra points or 200 platinum for cup schemes and 190 or 380 for home games gold or platinum
i cant find anything for aways though,there was talk of city scrapping away points
is it still 20 points or 40 points gold-platinum for away games? anyone know ?

I bet platinum raises £500k plus a season just due to apathy. It only benefits 2500 people but I’ll bet there are 4 x that many or more on it, most because they can’t be bothered cancelling it.

Really? Cheers for that, will probably try it out for a cup game and see if we like it. It'd be a significant amount to save next season if there's another increase.

We moved from 212 when SS3 opened, its a far better view imho (I liked 212), we're quite central behind the goal, "S" might sound a long way back, but it really isn't, I think its the first row of the £415 tickets, oh and we never get rained on.

Do you know when the relocation window opens?

Friday 14th 9am

Unbelievable that isn’t it. Front row. Who on earth would want that ? You will be lucky to get good seats one day extra or not. Complete pisstake when 93.20 seats are only 3/4 full most games.

I asked them about extending the deal until the North Stand was extended but they weren't having it. The problem with relocating the day before is that no-one else will have moved out of their seats, so the only available seats will be those that haven't been renewed.

he's still investing millions every year via Etihad, Aabar, Etilasat and Abu Dhabi Tourism.

Can you back that up?

I have a question for those complaining about the prices increase: In the last 11 years Sheikh Mansour has invested over 1 billion of his own money in MCFC, and he's still investing millions every year via Etihad, Aabar, Etilasat and Abu Dhabi Tourism.
He is also one of the few sport club owners to reinvest back all of the club's profit.
So, do you guys really think City raised the price just because "they want to explore the working class"?

Just to remember, one of City's problems with FFP is that UEFA considers the value of City's sponsors to be very high compared to other incomes. Of Europe's top clubs, City's matchday income is the lowest when compared to commercial income. Although the club is billionaire, they need fans' money to justify such high sponsorships, be more 'self-sustaining', and to balance their books.

Here is a PL comparison (2017/18):

ARSENAL
Matchday income: £99m (59k attendance; £1,668 per supporter)
Commercial income: £107m
CHELSEA
Matchday income: £74m (41k attendance; £1,792 per supporter)
Commercial: £170m
LIVERPOOL
Matchday income: £81m (53k attendance; £1,526 per supporter)
Commercial: £154m
MANCHESTER CITY
Matchday income: £57m (54k attendance; £1,059 per supporter)
Commercial: £232m
MANCHESTER UNITED
Matchday income: £110m (74k attendance; £1,467 per supporter)
Commercial: £276m
TOTTENHAM
Matchday income: £71m (67k attendance; £1,044 per supporter)
Commercial: £109m

+£1m or £2m a season seems a little but sends the message that the club is growing with the help of fans. City is fighting against a Cartel, so the club have to play their game (and hopefully win it).
I believe the season card will continue to get more expensive while FFP is a problem. When that is over, the club will probably freeze the price or even decrease it. (that's my view)

He has and we will be forever grateful.

But if he sold the club now he would get his money back and more.

The club is now making a profit, and those profits will only increase.

In time he will get all of his money back.

Previously.

City Football Group, which owns Manchester City, have announced a $400m (£265m) investment from a Chinese consortium, CMC, that buys it a 13% stake and values CFG at $3bn. The City chairman, Khaldoon al-Mubarak, said the move will “leverage the incredible potential that exists in China”.

No he isn't.

Complete piss take that they moved us and promised things they haven’t delivered.
Piss take that the seasoncard price will now double.
Piss take that they can’t be arsed even answering a simple letter about what they intend to do.

Do you know when the relocation window opens?

If you wish to relocate, you should renew your existing seat as above. You will then be given the opportunity to relocate from your existing seat from +44 (0)161 444 1894 (option 6). Any remaining seats may be offered to supporters on the Seasoncard Waiting List after this date.

I haven't read all the thread, but by my very rough calculation

57,000 at an average of £50 per ticket = £2.85M per game
Multiply that by 19 games = £54M
a 3% increase = an additional £1.6M revenue
Or in the grand scheme of things, with a £500M revenue, the 1.6M equates to an additional third of one percent (0.3%)

My ticket in 104 is now at £820 and I'm at tipping point
I don't go to CL matches and went to only one league cup game last season and two FA cup. One of the FA cup matches was the final at an entire cost of £200. The only reason I went was to show my appreciation of a spectacular season, but no matter what, I won't be stumping up anything like that again for a game of football.
And it's more than likely I won't attend any cup matches again
