Season Tickets - 2024/25

I get it that you’d much rather see the return of a standard season ticket as soon as possible and I hope the club are in a position to offer them again at some point in the near future.

Flexi-Gold is still an extremely attractive option though, especially for anyone wanting a junior season ticket.

My young lad’s season ticket in SS3 works out at £14.47 a game and that’s including the £75 fee.

£14.47 per game is an absolute bargain. Flexi-Gold gets a lot of stick on here but anyone who wants to get a regular seat for their son or daughter should snap one up if they get the chance.




Flexi-Gold is a season ticket though and qualify for away games/cup finals in exactly the same way that a Gold or Platinum season ticket holder would.

I presume the "gold" part means you only get half points though right? So a high pointer will fall behind if they switch to FG?

Would you prefer the traditional product people have had for decades and all the benefits that product entails or do you want to keep the new gimmick brought in where you'd pay £150 regardless of attending any games whatsoever and returned tickets go straight ack to the club to destroy the atmosphere ?

How is evaluating the recent product introduced this year and comparing it to what has always been available, how is that a loaded question. It's feedback on the product.

Are you anti-choice ?

What I would like is irrelevant. My only point was if you were gauging the demand with flexi gold, ask people if given the choice would you choose flexi or standard? That actually gives you worthwhile data.

Simply asking people if they would prefer a choice or no choice, doesn’t really tell you anything, other than guarantee you that 99% will vote the way the question is directing you to.

Flexi-Gold isn’t a season ticket. And since when did it give people equal status as season ticket holders? It doesn’t

The club class Flexi-Gold as a season ticket. They can join the cup schemes and get away tickets in exactly the same way a Gold or Platinum season ticket holder can.

A Flexi-Gold season ticket holder could in theory have 30,000 points, although I can’t imagine there will be anyone who has reduced from Platinum to Flexi-Gold.

The vast majority will be juniors on a very low number of points.

Fair enough - I didn’t realise that.

But it’s still not a season ticket though, regardless of what the club say, and it doesn’t alter the fact that fans should have a choice between Flexi-Gold and a traditional season ticket. Whatever seats they’re willing to release as FG should come with an option to choose a season ticket instead. If that were the case then I’m sure most fans would choose a season ticket, which shows the club aren’t playing fair on this. And that’s before we get on to the up front cost of FG just so fans can experience some - but not all - the benefits that a season ticket holder has.

The club can dress it up and call it whatever they like. To me it’s just an upgraded matchday membership. Works for some but wouldn’t for others. The inability to transfer like a standard ST sets it apart for me.

But you wouldn't ever need to transfer , if you don't want to go to any specific match you just don't pay for it , that's the point.

What if something comes up a couple of days before the game? Illness, childcare, transport issues etc. No option to transfer and no refund possible so the seat goes empty. Not very flexible is it?

What @Buckshaw Blue said above. You have to commit to the ticket at least 3 weeks in advance of the match. What happens if something crops up between then and the match itself meaning you can't attend?

I agree it doesn’t, but it does allow me to get into the bigger games, dippers, rags, Madrid etc, as well as all the home games which I attend in all competitions.

Due to City’s awful attitude to ticketing, what seems a preference for tourists etc, the last few seasons have been getting impossible for me to get a ticket for the bigger games.

Flexi-gold also allows me to join all three cup schemes, which I have, so I won’t miss out on the FA Cup Final should we get there, as I missed out last season.

Flexi-good isn’t perfect, the upfront cost is wrong, as is not being able to transfer etc, and arguably isn’t a ST, but as it’s the only option currently available I will take it.

If it's the only option you have then I agree that it's better to have it than not because it does give you access to certain games that you would struggle to get tickets for otherwise.

Just to make it clear that my annoyance isn't directed at yourself or anybody else who has Flexi-Gold. It's at the club for not offering up traditional seasoncard options as an alternative.

Or maybe I should just turn up for all the smaller games, and sit at home for the big ones?

I don't think anyone should blame somebody for accepting a flexi gold; it's far superior to the match day membership, which nowadays is simply dreadful. People should not have to justify accepting a FG, but they should not be trying to justify the club's decision to only offer them.

I wasn’t justifying them, I was simply saying as its the only option it’s what I had to do.
