Season Tickets - 2023/24

Of course it boils down to FFP

Wages in the private sector are up over 6% YOY

Food costs are up over 15% YOY

the club are being scrutinised over third party sponsorship so unfortunately the fans have to bear the brunt of this cost increase

without FFP we wouldn’t have seen any increase this or any year since it’s inception

FFP excuse?!

What a croc of shite!

Me too but I guess at least the 3-4000 at the top of the chain do but I would imagine there are many that have never cancelled it. It’s jus a complete money making racket that should never have been introduced in the first place.

Agreed completely, and yes I did it at the begining, but got further and further behind anyway, absolute con.
 
Protests?

The numerous OSC’s won’t get involved as they are too affiliated to the club.

Has Ken Parker issued a statement yet? Just asking.

Bar City Matters and 1894, who else is going to campaign and organise a protest about continual season ticket and match day ticket price rises?

Nobody!

I’ve never cancelled it because I’m a lazy twat and I reckon probably the only time in recent years that I’ve needed the extra points it gave me was Porto. I think I’ve got about 17000. But then again my mate who came with me who didn’t have as many points got one from fifa anyway so I probably didn’t even need it anyway.

I’ve made a mental note to cancel it.

SSL1, block 115 + Platinum + all cup schemes.

£760 divided by 19 PL homes games is £40 per game

Add domestic Carabao Cup and FA Cup home games. Add CL group stage games. Add CL knockout stage games. Add away games if you’re lucky enough to get away tickets. Carabao Cup final, FA Cup final, CL cup final.

It’s no longer just £760 a season.

It’s a pricey hobby. Im surprised no one has trotted out the just give up fags and booze. Used to be regular comment on here.

I do think the club has missed an oppurtunity to make a statement.

The reality is that the price increase makes a 2%-3% difference in match day revenue which probably equates to 0.5% of total revenue. Compare that to the minimum of 8% increase in matchday revenue the north stand expansion will bring and this is a minimum because the likelyhood there will be premium seats either there or elsewhere which will increase this further.

To further put this into context the north stand expansion will cost £300m. The increase in ticket prices for this year will return 0.5% of that cost next year, I.e. basically nothing.

I'm not saying match day revenue does not matter because commercial revenue is much higher, just that the increase makes negligible difference compared to other plans the club has to bring in more revenue.

So yes, the price increase is still good value for money, dont think many would dispute that. Equally yes the club need to be commercial, but putting everything into context the increase is questionable.

I'm a little reluctant to blame the owner because at the same time he paid for transport to the Champions League final for many supporters and the club does make the odd gesture during the year which effectively claws back the increase but I do think they have missed an oppurtintuy to make a statement.

What was this years because I don’t remember that one?

Spent nearly £4,000 on City this year for every game and enjoyed it much more than in the 70s when I paid £17 in the Kippax. CITD. Season tickets were only EVER for home games so why are you adding cup games to it???

*a bit tongue in cheek*

I’ll pay the extra whatever it might be IF the club promise me they will not sign either Kane or Bellingham. That sounds fair enough to me.




I am lucky enough to be able to afford the increase but only because I spend nothing else on the matches apart from the price of the ticket. I have a concession pass for the tram….that costs me £10 per yr only. I rarely buy food or drink in the ground. Plus I’ve never smoked and rarely have an alcoholic drink. So I can afford the increase.m

However I do think that folk have a legitimate right to complain as this is a forum and debate is the reason for it surely.

I’m sorry if that sounds a bit I’m all right Jack I don’t mean it to. There were quite a few years when I was raising my kids when I couldn’t afford a match never mind a season card so I am making up for those days. :-)

Obviously we don’t need Kane anymore but what have you against Bellingham if you don’t mind me asking?
 
I’d never have dreamed we’d become a tourist club,but we slowly or quickly are,a Chinese lad sat in front of me other night with an old City top on with JESUS on the back of it,now you tell me who he was supporting,I wasn’t completely sure at all.

I know a few who ain’t come back since covid,and the more who decide not to renew is only gonna make it a tourist club,sad but true

Someone summed it up perfectly a few posts back,in 9 words -we were the ones that kept the lights on @dickie davies it was
