No, which is why I have been involved with protests, OSC's, and try and made my voice heard.That has always been the case. There have been people priced out over the last 20 years with little protest. I guess over that time you were one of the "All right Jacks' along with the rest of us paying for season tickets.
End of the day, money talks...
But Atmosphere and Loyalty Walks...
And that place will become more and more soulless unless measures are taken to get us back.

I've just done a very rough calculation and factoring in seasoncard price, tickets for cup games on the cup schemes, tickets for away games (I do roughly 50%-60% of aways each season), travel costs for away games, food, and falling over water, I reckon watching City costs me over £4000 a year. That's a fucking expensive hobby whichever way you look at it. The trouble is, much of the reason why I do this isn't down to what happens on the pitch - important as that is, it's also about having a laugh with your mates, singing your heart out, and generally having a good day out. I can't replicate those experiences if I sack off watching City and take up another hobby, and to knock it on the head will drive a hole in something I enjoy immensely. If I went just for the football, I'd have canned it off years ago.

Give Well fried Pony a load of more dosh.
Look, I can accept when I am priced out.
I can accept that there are other people out there with more money who want to watch live football.
I acknowledge that in fairness, it isn't the mist expensive thing in the world...
But for me, I've lost that connect to the club I was born into.
3mths old I went to my first City match, I was in a baby buggy.
Thats irrelevant though.
It's like me saying I first flew with Etihad Airways when I was a baby, I've flew with them all my life... Bla Bla Bla.
What I want to see, for me, isn't going to happen anytime soon.
Such as a Safe Standing area for like minded people who are happy to support the team in a way in which they display passion.
Passion is non existant now, and if you show any Showshit court you out if the stadium, and won't think twice about banning you.
Enjoy this if you like it.
It's soulless, corporate, and I feel Football at the top needs to crash in order for it to level out and become again... The game if the people.
Not for the elite to promote their Corporations, stash money in other countries and so on.
Capitalism 1 - Football 0
I agree pretty much entirely with your post and whilst I am not condoning the increased monetisation of the game, sadly it is a cost of our recent success. Of course there would be ways of doing things that are fairer for the support, but the men in suits are only interested in profit and that's that, sadly.

Seems the club is very keen to not pass on a price increase on theheadline 299
season tickets then?
They can continue to state that in all season ticket media interviews and statements
that tickets start from 299
If they feel that its fair even with increased tv monies to inflict a price increase on fans
it would have been fairer to pass on the same to all and not tactically leave 299asis
But shows how they can decide to freeze ticket renewals if it's in club interest and not
in general fans interest

Spent thousands every year, home and away.
Been all over Europe.
Yet the CFG business as it's known couldn't give two hoots about my dedication or how much I sing in the stands and so on.
They want Johnny Come Lately from London with a decent income and willingness to buy the whole club shop in there instead of me.
He won't create atmosphere, but so what? Let's all celebrate when CFG post record profits next year eh?
Wrote a quick blog/rant on the price rises.
There will be errors!

And what if you did that two years ago, in protest at those price rises?Is British folk have a good way of whinging but then doing nowt about it. Best thing we could all do is downgrade to Gold and stripping away all cup schemes if on any.
