Seasoncard Renewals 2017/18

[lee_wsm]

Ahh that's good news then I thought I would be waiting for a few seasons to possibly get one

Does anyone know if city have a higher proportion

of adult renewals moving thru to adult concessions

meaning that for for a period of years the season

ticket revenue falls before then again rising as the

proportion of standard to concession realigns to a

more standard rate or are all clubs the same?

 

[halfmist]

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 .

That is the big one for me, we see it week in week out. Not just at City, but favouring one team over another; the big and important decisions go the way of those in favour, the other team get the none match defining decisions. We can all list them, week in week out; the media defend and smoke screen as they are part of the 'Band wagon/cash cow'[/QUOTE]
These are the reasons I prefer to watch the games on tele

This club is a fucking shambles.
All the years of trawling everywhere watching shit... To be treated like I just have.

I don't think I'll ever be back there, nevermind having a seasoncard again.

This club couldn't give a fuck about the lifetime supporters, the local people.... They care about the green £££ and that's it.

Been going all your life?
Whoppy fucking Doo.

York away?
Wow wee.

Work for Nissan, your friend went to school with Kevin De Bruyne?
Or you appear in Coronation Street sometimes?

You'll have the carpet rolled out for you, free meals, no charge on the ticket and free parking right outside the stadium.

Put many years into forming a supporters club, generations of family were all blues.
And I was spoken to by City ticket staff like I had just shoplifted at Poundland.

Cheerio

What dis you contact them about and what did they say?

I never said you did. Read what I wrote. I was replying to you in general.(mate)

Running costs can be factored in for next season. Cost savings can be made.

Any additional running costs don't have to be passed on to the fans.

What additional costs have United incurred over the last 6 seasons? Yet they haven't increased their season ticket prices in the last 6 seasons. Their security measures, etc, have had to be stepped up as well. Other PL clubs are the same.

Come on Marvin, smell the coffee.

A club with a £500mill+ turnover, and a £20mill profit, I stand corrected on those figures, doesn't need to get it's fans to constribute 2% extra towards the cost of inflation and running costs. And here's me thinking City had an army of the best financial managers and accountants working for the club.

Penny pinching, with the fans paying those pennies.

Night.

I agree with every point you make which is why I am surprised you keep saying smell the coffee etc

My lads has gone up £130,turned 18 in November.Expected it to go up but that's a bit steep IMO.
Mine gone up £30....not too bad.

The age band increases are a killer. I'm paying for my eldest's as he's at uni, but most of the time my 15 yo uses it or it's empty. Probably cheaper to buy match by match but not enough points for the big games!

Hopefully there are enough on it to pick up the slack from those not renewing.

If there were, the North Stand extension would be viable. As it's been postponed that suggests the demand simply isn't there.

possibly, though people on the waiting list can sit and wait until cheap seats come free, which in itself is cruel on the long-term supporters who can't afford to keep their seat and then get dumped behind tourists in the queue for the cheap seats, which should be on offer to them anyway.

Perhaps not enough for the North Stand extension but possibly enough to replace those not renewing. If not, I guess it means more match day tickets available which may result in more income for the club in the long run.

If there were 13,000 on the list prior to the SS3 extension, then that will have taken care of at least 8,000 presumably (as capacity was down to 44k the season before it opened). So let's say there are 5 or 6,000 now on the list. I reckon most would prefer the cheapest tickets so maybe there are 2,000 or so prepared to take anything and they'll be covered by the standard annual wastage of people not renewing. Although some on the list may be families who want 3 or 4 together but can't get them. However I'd say we were pretty well in equilibrium overall.
