Seasoncard Renewals 2017/18

[ballinio]

I think he's saying he's not renewing.

Yes I thought so I just wanted to know why ?
I think the price rise alone is not going to make many people give up but I get the feeling an accumulation of negative aspects of the club and the direction it is going is making people question wheather to carry on. This price rise is disasterous pr & makes you wonder if it was designed to clear a few out, the new parking restrictions , the awfull tram/bus service, the harassment of fans by Showsec, que's & searches all add up but the big one for me is the corrupt officials that City say & do nothing about make me wonder wheather to join him .

May not be the price rise more the price. East Stand where our traditional support sat the old Kippax is now £800 not a drop in the ocean for most people, it's understandable people can be a bit miffed.

Question.

Does anyone else believe there are 13000 fans on the waiting list? That in itself could fill a SS and NS expansion with 13000, £299 season tickets.

That's £3.887.000. I stand corrected on that.

Remind me once again of how much City are going to make with this 2% season ticket price rise?

Which bod at City is crunching the numbers and making the important decisions?(Tunnel Club & 2% season ticket price rises, etc)

Question.

Does anyone else believe there are 13K fans on the waiting list? That in itself could fill a SS and NS expansion with 13000, £299 season tickets.

No idea but someone yesterday posted he was number thirteen thousand something on the waiting list.

I wouldn't pay £800 , there's a limit to what I'd pay & that's over it. To raise prices when the new TV deal brings in £50m more next year is such a staggeringly stupid decision, it just shows how distant the new people running the club are from the fans. We are Manchester City not Barcelona.

Lots on the WL for the £299 tickets. Not lots on it for anywhere else. Also, I reckon a lot of existing ST holders will be on the £299 waiting list!

Might be no 13,000 but I can't see there being 13,000 people on it at the moment. Maybe 13,000 people have been on it since it was introduced. I doubt there's many more than a couple of thousand or so on it, and many will be waiting for £299 tickets in an expanded North Stand.

I reckon the 2% rise is possibly to cover the stewarding costs with all the turnstile checks but if so they should just have absorbed the costs - or better still gone back to what they did before.

Its getting there for me as well mate, with away games, cup games and European matches I wouldn't like to guess how much I spend on football time to cut back a bit I think.

Perhaps if the club cut back on Managers, constant branding, the matchday experience costs, tendering for cheaper security, etc, then the cost of running the club would look after itself.

I'm sorry Marvin, but saying the 2% rise covers inflation and 'running costs' is bullshit.

And if it is true, which I very much doubt, is this what the club has now become, scratching around for a few hundred thousand from the fans to cover those two running costs.

Just think about that, mate.

Or even better, why not trim the layers of Managers, etc.

It's probabl

I didn't say it was justified. If you read what I said, I said City should absorb any extra costs. I think it's s stupid decision to raise the prices by 2%. But I am quite ready to believe that match day costs have gone up for the club. There are a lot more stewards now for a start. Policing costs probably going ever upwards etc. It will cost the club because we'll lose fans even if it is over £10-£15.
