Don't forget the reduction on CL 1/4 Kids tickets making it £50 for a adult and kid, with a free food voucher throwen in (even if it's only for chips and a drink that's got to be worth about £5)

These ripping off Arabs can keep ripping me off all day long, more so if there giving me a qoulity product

Anyone can roll up to the local boozer on cabaret night and see a tribute act and pay £5 a head but if you want to see the real deal at a stadium or areana then you have to pay the going rate.. I think we pay under the going rate tbh

I might wait and see if Paris dry hump us and the tickets go to a tenner or fiver each.
If not I will watch it from the comfort of my armchair on my kodi thing.
 
I don't understand comparing the price of football tickets to gigs/theatre etc. For me they're entirely different things. I don't feel a compulsion to go and watch a play or a band as I do with City, and you're not being asked to fork out 2,3 or 4 times a month to see a band.

The only reason that has happened is because of very very poor sales for the family stand
Look at the planner. It's nowhere near selling out

I bet there's still nearly 2000 tickets to be sold

They haven't actually reduced the ticket price in that deal for level one vs PSG either: it was always £40 adult, £10 under 16, in the lower tier of the Family Stand with the £5 season ticket/Cityzen membership reduction.

That's your £50 deal right there. Nothing has changed apart from a food voucher being thrown in.

What the club has done however is bring the price in the upper tier of the Family Stand down to match that of the lower. So level two of the FS was £45 adult, £15 under 16 with the £5 membership discounts included.

Now they've matched upper with lower so it's now £40 + £10 with the £5 membership discounts included. A £10 saving together on the original prices.

What's clear is that the club got the pricing wrong for this game right off the bat, as we all knew, and as predicted the deals are coming out now in a late attempt to claw back lost ground and try and shift unsold tickets.

Great for everyone on the cup scheme of course who were debited within two days of the prices being announced.

Really leaves you scratching your head sometimes. This is a game that would be sold out and rocking if it was well priced from the start, instead it'll be a good bit below capacity, with many waiting to see the result of the 1st leg before deciding if the outlay is worth it. And then the club inevitably trying to come up with some more late deals to sell the unsold tickets - further disincentivising blues from signing up to the cup scheme.

Sign up to the cup scheme, you pay top whack, and then miss out on all the late deals the club puts out as they try to reverse their initial error in the pricing of tickets for a cup fixture.

Really don't get how the bean counters in charge of ticketing can get it so wrong.
 
£10 for a 15 year old and £30 for a 16 year old in the lower tier for PSG or £15 and £35 in the upper tier

Yeah that sounds ok doesn't it...

It's entertainment, regardless and it all costs, that's the comparison. It's a choice for sure and I choose to go to gigs about twice a month and yes I feel compelled at times!

Yep the 16-21 prices are bollocks.

Triple the price for someone who still probably gets £6 a day for lunch and bus fair off their mum. Really is quite wrong

Adam Johnson might not understand the difference between a 15 and 16 year old but his old club could have taught him a lesson or 2 ;)

One of the biggest stars in the music industry is Adele
If she rocked up in Manchester to play 25 gigs at the Arena over the course of 9 months, would the same 45,000 people pay £50 to go to every one?

If we are in the game it will sell out, even if no more tickets were sold now it would be at about 47000. As you say they matched the upper tier with the lower tier, there was always a good deal available for one adult and one child available at £50 for both.
