I hope they think about that banner last night too, because frankly the dad and lad demographic get fuck all consideration when it comes to ticketing. I take two kids to matches come rain or shine, school the next day or not. But because I waited until I was in a position where I could attend regularly to even try and get a season ticket, I’m on a flexi and the likelihood is my kids won’t be offered STs of their own, for now. Which means we’ll be stuck on an obscene ‘under-18’s’ price for them, and for me, the £150 flexi tax on top, as between a match missed while working in London, the mrs wanting me around on Boxing Day and the weekend of Valentines Day when we played Newcastle, and us taking our holidays in August because it’s cheaper for a family of four, I come in two games short of the limit to be offered a full ST - and the fact me and the kids will have been to every home CL game and every FA cup home game on top of that, plus the women’s derby and EDS games, counts for nothing.

I feel your pain mate! I’ve done 13 (Bournemouth included) out of 19. I’m gutted they moved the goalposts with this new 16 game rule all of a sudden.
I looked back at the terms and conditions when the flexi gold was offered, it said 10 games to be able to renew and flexi golds WILL NOT be able to upgrade to a gold season ticket.
So I feel at least offer golds to those that did 10 or more to kind of stick so something…

Anyone know if the age at which you qualify for the old git discount will still be 65 this time? Asking for a very very close friend .
Well, there certainly won’t be for next season as it’s not due to open until mid January, so how can they offer ‘season’ tickets? Maybe ‘half season’ tickets or probably wait until 26/27.

I’m in the same boat. Would be interested to see how many flexis have made the 16 game mark & if they’re using it to as an incentive for FG to shift all these midweek games at the end of the season.
The fact they’ve said all along it’s a season ticket etc but then say only a certain amount can “upgrade” to a Gold/Platinum makes me a feel a bit like I’m stuck halfway between a matchday member and season ticket holder.

They'll have made it 16 on purpose as there'll be that few that have met that threshold. Wouldn't bank on it being 16 next year either. Probably hoping those not hitting that number of games purchase more tickets next season and then shift the goalposts again next summer.

I've just posted the final sentences of that excellent post as it perfectly summarises the problems we face.

When’s renewal date does anyone know can’t be far off now
Yep. It’s almost like the club has set out to make gold STs available to as few people as possible while ticking a box. I reckon no more than two in my section will qualify, quite possibly one, and it’s a good group of blues, so basically the number of flexi holders who get STs proper across the ground will be in the low double digits.
I asked Man City fan support earlier today and all they said was that an email will be sent to supporters with a date as to when Season ticket renewals will take place and that the renewals window will be 2 weeks long.

Liverpool junior match day ticket prices really put ours to shame

Does anyone know (because I’ve not seen it posted) definitively how the club intend to “Police” this 10 game personal attendance rule ?
What technology will they have in place to challenge the identity of who sits in each seat for 10 games etc etc ?
Thanks in advance #ctid

Those £9 ones are very limited and you have to live within a certain distance of the ground I’m sure

In September total cost over a ton said seats were crap no leg room and atmosphere was non existent but was a slightly better experience than going to old toilet which was a similar price with even worse seat and got pissed wet through .

Apologies for last week’s email, where we incorrectly stated there will be no price increase next season. What we meant to put, was they’re all going up 20% and if anybody ever misses a game, they’re out.

Limited to juniors with an L postcode, possibly not a bad idea either.

The £9 tag is under the adult category too.
That's not quite right. All junior tickets, with the exception of the new tier in the Anfield Road stand, cost £9.00. They have two sections at the top of their main stand where tickets for all ages are £9.00, but you must have an L postcode to qualify for one of them. Their most expensive non-corporate Premier League ticket for adults is £61.00, whilst our cheapest was £71.00 last night. I loathe Liverpool, but their ticketing policies put ours to shame.

I don't think they will police who actually uses the ticket just that it needs to be used without being transferred to another supporter or sold back on ticket exchange.
