Season Tickets - 2024/25

[Gray]

Don't be such an idiot
The price increases total just over 1.5M, which adds about a quarter of a percent to City's turnover
Do you get that, 0.25%!!
All it's done is piss supporters off

Regarding utd, they are in a 75,000 stadium, around 20,000 larger capacity than the Etihad
20,000 x £40 = £800,000 x 19 games = £15.2M
But, and @Prestwich_Blue can confirm this exactly. 75% of utd's match day revenue comes from corporate and premium seating and city has nowhere near as much
It's why when the North stand is completed, our premium seating areas will be hugely extended to probably all of L2 and East Stand blocks 104 & 106 to the level that block 105 is currently

Good post.

If you are interested in Real Madrid away trips, Sports Options, it’s at the top of Kevin Parker’s X page.

If you want his views and opinions on the season ticket price rises don’t bother, there’s nothing on his X page.(yet)

I liked the analysis of Dias over VVD at the top of Sir Kevin’s account.

I’m disappointed by the cost increases. I’m glad to see Silver card holders having the chance of a season card and juniors being able to get on the season card ladder via flexi-Gold.

Given the lack of visible success, point taken.

Although unrelated to the club, I think the report I produced on Istanbul can be considered a win. It was disappointing how the club and UEFA ultimately dealt with it, but the meeting with senior officials from the latter was a positive step. We also took part in a lot of work with the Police over fan experiences in Europe.

We've done a lot behind the scenes on ticketing criteria, especially over the last year - the Champions League Final was a good example, but the move to enlarged match day criteria for cup scheme sales was also something from the group.

On the Gold+ and 14 game policy the club have announced today, we were able to achieve some movement on what the club were going to go with.

In regard to match day experience, we've worked with the club over things like the Ebars.

That's just some recent examples. I think my point is that whilst City Matters fail to have an impact of really defining issues (and I'm fully appreciative that groups like ours live and die in this regard), we do take part in a lot of more operational issues behind the scenes.


Junior season card members have to be sat next to an adult due to safeguarding. That said, I will raise this with the club so that you do not lose out.

The report you produced was outstanding and the response from the club utterly shameful and a disgrace

Mines gone up from 750 to 870, triple read the email when I saw it.

Where you sat ?

I feel the same way you do about many of the points you raise.

However in the real world money talks and the old days are gone. We’re one of the premier sports brands in the world and at the level we’re at it’s about improving every aspect of the club by a percent here and a percent there and the whole organisation improving from the incremental gains.

Matchday revenue is one of the few areas in which we lag behind our rivals. It would be completely out of character with the culture of excellence that permeates the whole club for us to unilaterally fly in the face of commercial sense and undersell the product

You are right from a business point of view as that is what the mindset of the people who make the decisions, but I just believe it can be do another way, they just choose not to IMO as it’s the easier way as they know we will just accept it as we can’t let go easily and have no competitors to turn to to get our fix.

It’s just sad reality of greedy life.

Where you sat ?

Wings of CB and E 1 are £820 which have gone up from £745, or £75.

These are the only ones that could be £870 if platinum was added, so it may be been accidentally applied.

Sorry I’m late to this thread and it’s probably already been asked but the flexi ticket says priority on away tickets. How will that work ?

I don’t know what Alex from City Matters is apologising for. It sounds like he did his best to get the admin / management who don’t support City to show restraint on season card prices. He couldn’t stop the tidal wave that is the rush towards £100mil match day revenue, that was always very unlikely.

I’m hoping that these flexi gold tickets will prove helpful to some City families. Hopefully, more juniors progress towards season card holders.!

My advice as ever is for Blues struggling for tickets to join their local OSC Branch and the Man City Face Value Tickets & Travel FB page. These groups help loads of fellow Blues and retain passion for our beloved Club. There’s also a lot of top Bluemooners on here.

Same as it does now, season card holders with X points.

Or City could trail blaze on ticket prices and trigger huge unrest between the supporters and clubs of our competitors
