I personally don't buy into that philosophy!

The value season ticket which City are promoting alongside the stadium development is very, very shrewd.
When they opened up the offer to the floor, it was for people who were only willing to buy them in groups of four and therefore spend £1200.
But what of those who don't have a group of 4, and who want to go to games on their own?
Well, they'll be left on the first and second tiers. The price of their seats will go up and they'll eventually be replaced by fans with money.
I think it's disgusting but there's nothing I can do to change it.

Just having a quick look at the terms for auto renewal and it states you will be informed of the price, T&Cs etc and then have a deadline to inform them if you do not wish to renew or change the payment method, if not you will be renewed on the direct debit. So no need to opt out, just wait for the renewal period and info, last year was mid May.

Think next season could be my last as a season ticket holder.
The overall cost is becoming prohibitive, I travel near-on 500 miles round trip for games and one lad has already dropped out of travelling meaning there are usually 3 of us in the car, rather than 4.
I also buy my sons (adult) ST every year for his birthday but he is getting married next year and I'll be giving him some money to help out.
I won't stop going, but I'll not be able to lay out on a season ticket for much longer. This season there have been many more games than normal I have missed due to being midweek after fixture changes. I can't afford to take half days off work many times each year.
In essence, it's my overall costs, not just the season tickets that will force me out, I actually think for what we get, the pricing is still reasonable.

Nice one, like your rooneyesque demands,
also the captains armband is in the post...

I might even let him treat me to mine!
Nice one, hopefully that will be me in about 3 years, mine is in his first year at collage, so he still uses the bank of dad...

It was my birthday on the 14th, I'm now 64. I took my daughters for a meal to "celebrate". My eldest daughter (and her partner) gave me an envelope containing a compliments slip on City headed paper (don't ask) saying "Dad. Your free season ticket for 2014/15! Lots of love....."
I'm going to ask for a Superbia!!
Better still, the year after, I'll be getting a geriatric seasoncard as I'll be 65!

The correct pricing of Season Tickets is no mean feat.
Sell them at a price everyone is happy with and too many people will buy them regardless of missing games. The result is the game appears to sell out but the stadium looks empty!
Price them too expensive, and those that can still afford them will ensure they attend to get value for money. Many however who can't afford the renewal will stay away and the stadium looks empty!
My solution would be to come up with some space age stadium that had expanding stands that gradually raised upwards and backwards from the pitch. As the turnstiles click the stands get larger. The seating would be done on a 1st come 1st serve basis with your seat details being printed out as you swiped your card upon entry.
The pricing would be charged to a registered debit card once the final attendance for the day is known. Those games that are high profile and attract the better attendances would ultimately cost the swipe card holder more. Whilst those like tomorrow night would be cheap and a reward for those who turned up.
I would hope that such a system would also encourage rare attenders to invest in a Swipe/Membership Card knowing that if they did want to attend a particular game then they could. It could lead to gates of 100,000 for the United game but that would be offset with 30,000 gates for a televised WBA on a Monday night.
Totally impossible I know , but a solution for the future maybe.
