Seasoncard Renewals | Slight Price Increase

[Beaker]

It's an unpopular opinion but I won't apologise for it other than perhaps generalising about people's earnings.

If you have a stable job and own your own home, I don't think you're in a place to complain about a 20 odd quid increase on a season ticket. I think we've all been in the position where we have to prioritise outgoings and stop other hobbies and unnecessary spending, that's just the way of the world. City still offer incredible value compared to other top clubs.

I have a stable job and own my own home. I also have three children to support with an ever increasing squeeze on my wages. A lot of non essentials have been got rid of due to cost of living, unfortunately the next thing on my list will be season ticket. I’ll likely keep this season but if it gets any tighter it will have to go. It’s a shame because I’ve had it for over 20 years. I’ll join the ever increasing list of former match going fans who watch the games on the telly. If that makes me an entitled **** then so be it.

In this eventuality my seat will be one more empty for the seat counters for 90% of the games, but at least some tourist can use it for Real Madrid or United and spend £100 in the club shop. That’s what we want isn’t it???

When I read that to my chauffeur he nearly crashed the limo.
50 grand a year? I wish!

And even £50k a year won't be a lot of money to many people who still have big outgoings.

You don't need to justify yourself to me or anyone else mate. We have all had to make similar decisions and adjustments to our lives. My point was at the serial moaners which we have a lot of, it ain't ever gonna be better than it currently is at City and people will just never be happy.

I’m not. I never do. Just having @ general chat about the cost of living and the sacrifices people are making. I doubt the board members at City are making such sacrifices. They are the ones driving season ticket and matchday ticket price increases every season. Nobody is asking for a reduction in season ticket and matchday ticket prices, but a freeze next season would have been welcomed and a good PR excercise by the club.(we say that every season)

Prize money, TV money, and sponsorship deals are rolling in like never before at City. £800K-£1mill a season from season ticket increases isn’t really going to make a big difference in the grand scheme of things off or on the pitch. Good fan PR by the club is worth much more than that. But for some reason the Directors at City either don’t acknowledge that, or are oblivious to it. WHY?

well when I can get a season card i will be 65 so it be cheaper for me and as I look at the silver season card on ss2 it's only going to cost me 204 bargain, I'm not bothered with utd pool chelsea arsenal or spurs as I watch them on my tv

39th consecutive year of a season ticket. Quite proud of that.

Mine has gone up £20 in SSL2 , not a lot on its own but the costs of everything else associated with going to the match will mean some won't be able to go anymore which is really not on

A real fuck you kick in the teeth with the price increase. It doesn't matter that its "only £25" it's a small amount every single season. In the accounts it's barely going to be even noticed but its noticed in our wallets. A £25 increase on 40k season tickets would still only be 1 million, would pay Haalands wages for 3 weeks. They don't give a shit about us.

How many shit coats and divorces have you sacrificed to keep it going, though, eh??

I might relocate my seat how easy is it to get in 114/115/116?

Guarantee most of those moaning about a miniscule price increase are on over 50 grand a year salaries, get a fucking grip you entitled cunts.

We have the best coach in the world and have consistently been one of the best teams on the planet the last 10 years. It's a business and like everything else, prices are increasing. A lot of people got to go to Porto practically for free last year on behalf of the club (not me might I add). Being a tight **** gets you nowhere in life.

Either put up and renew or stand out the way and let someone take your place. I disagree with some of the pricing for individual games and certain types the club attract at European games for example, but we still have a solid core of working class fans who just pay their money and turn up at all costs. It's people like that who keep clubs going, not those who penny pinch over about a quid a game.

Moronic.
