Seasoncard Renewal thread 2016/17 - Prices Frozen

[Deleted member 58678]

A freeze is decent but those whinging about the TV deal and saying the prices could have been reduced, get a reality grip. This is a business, providing by and large top draw entertainment. What would you pay for top draw entertainment elsewhere? A decent gig; £50 and more, ten pin bowling for two hours will fleece you a fair bit too and that's the dullest thing on earth. Do people expect it for free? City have been pretty damn good at subsidising cup tickets in recent seasons and there are thousands of so called loyal fans who still don't turn up, you know who you are.

FFS, look at what we have achieved in recent seasons, you can't expect it for nothing. And as any business does, they will push the boundaries, that's price elasticity and I think you will find a level has been found. There will be a few years of relevant flatness on price. The club in all fairness did warn of increases about 3 years back, they were hardly thrust out of the dark. What's an average ST at City, £600 for 19 games? Works out at just over £30 a knock, come one , most of could piss that up the wall in little over an hour, I know I could.

Laters.

Do West Ham and Everton and any other clubs who have SC reductions for next season need a reality grip too?

Football tickets have been too expensive for a decade and have just kept rising. Football has finally realised that £30 for away tickets is plenty, that's over a 50% drop from a few clubs who've been charging £67-72 in the last few years so why not, while the climate is right for when this giant new TV deal has come in, wouldn't a club say "we are going to get rid of all this Platinum bollocks, drop your SC by £50 and freeze that for five years"? It would do more in a business sense because of customer satisfaction than signing world class players would.

Plus I don't go bowling every other Saturday at Pars Wood then travel around the country on other Saturdays bowling in Leicester, North London, Bournemouth and Sunderland. Nor do I travel around when a band goes on tour to every gig they do.

So what's the deal with relocations, I wonder how that will work?

Wrong thread pal this is the paris at home ticket sales so far thread!

Aye that's why you get a season card , so it works out cheaper for every game, like going to watch a band , going to watch a champions league quarter final or going to Wembley is not a common event so people are expected to pay a bit more.

Seems like the anti champions league bores are hijacking the season card thread now, if you don't want to go against PSG don't go, I'm not rich far from it, but me and my lad save money for these sort of games, and we are allowed to go and enjoy it.

Seems like some are hoping we get dicked tomm, and then we will get a low crowd for the next leg , get behind City FFS and stop moaning.

Not sure whether any of that is aimed at me but you're way off beam if it is - I hope we smash them fuckers 5-0 tomorrow ;)

My point was more a case that while bands will have their share of avid fans that follow them religiously all over the place, these people are few and far between as a percentage of the artist's overall attendance figures when compared to football fans where in City's case we have 40,000 season ticket holders who have paid for a seat for every home league game plus you've got our away followers on top, hundreds of whom never miss a game and thousands (myself included) will attend a good percentage of away games per season.

A freeze is good.

They need to work on Matchday prices now!

Not av'in that mate,surely it goes off the card?

Nope, it's based on his age at the time as I found out a couple of years ago when my lad turned 18 mid season.

Some 16 -21 are earning though, maybe there should be a price for those still in education, but that would need to be administered with proof of education status.

Would need strict monitoring - for example I am in full time employment and company paid for education but because I have a .ac.uk email address I can get student discount at lots of places. Also what about if people sign up as a student to a college in September but then quit and get a job, etc..

Indeed it is, not only are they trying to suck out life from the forum they are trying to suck out enjoyment of watching our club

As I just posted by estimating 2000 / stand left, North will be less, the sides possibly more, South stand is a bit unknown but it could well be less available than the north so it could be a bit more than 47000.

I'd say you are miles out, if we take away the Tiers 1 and 2 - East and CB, that leaves approx 65 blocks Most have very good availability with some having Near 400 seats available. If we said there was on average 200 seats in each block that would be 13000 left. I'd say we have sold a maximum of 40K and that would be assuming we have sold all of the away end and all of the hospitality. It also doesnt include seats that are reserved for Cup Schemers who havent paid.
