Imagine if the club hadn’t increased the prices, but all us fans put the amount it would have increased by into a communal pot.I always try to bite my tongue on renwel days, as someone will answer my post with "well i didn't mean you" ;)
But i don't have a job, i'm a stay at home mum with an illness that may make me paralysed in a few years (or may not), my only income is child benefit of £80ish a month, and £35 a week child tax credit, i live with my partner who works full time, and we live in a rented home with our little boy. We don't have pay tv, we don't drink, we don't eat out, we have nothing to cut out on.
Yet i am also meant to pay for mum 79 year olds mums season ticket as well (!), as she has no money. So i'm in that rut, that depression, of city have been my life, my life, yet i should give up financially. It's only because we both had to miss games this season through illness so have some ticket exchange money i kept to one side that i can even think of asking my other half to put up a few hundred to help. You'll say i shouldn't be going then - but this is my point about emotional blackmail of long term lifelong fans - muum is 79, if i stop her going now then that's it for mum, she's not in great health, it's out bonding time, our day out. And me, i'm supposed to be living for the moment in case the worst happens. So do i stop going and stay sat at home with 3 woolly hats and a sleeping bag to keep me warm? Or do i keep going, while i can. They say "it'll be on telly", we don't have anything other than freeview, i don't get to watch us on telly. And it's being there, with mum...
So yes, i know, the quoted post wasn't aimed at people like me.
But it does bug me every years when the speech about "prioritise outgoings and stop other hobbies and cut things out" comes up - some people have nothing left to cut out, other than life.
Byebye, off to put my son to bed.
I'm not sure who told you that, but they are incorrect, assuming it stays as previous years all Cityzen Matchday members get a window to buy season tickets.I don't understand why we don't have a waiting list for new season ticket holders.My 12 year old grandson as a matchday card that we purchased every home match for including all cups. But I am told they invite people at random. No rewards for loyalty. CTID
I deferred and have received the renewal emailI deferred this year and haven't had a renewal offer. What's the betting they forget to send out the offer to the who deferred and flog their tickets elsewhere!
If you are semi serious, why don’t you look at where you could relocate to? I’d assume you could have a look without committing to changing.Every fucking year I am giving it , gone up again taking the piss, not renewing and then guess what I renew. I would like to change seats though so probably relocate. Mines gone from £820 to £845..
Done via points and windows last year. So not a "queue" per se, but I only got mine after building up points for a few years.I'm not sure who told you that, but they are incorrect, assuming it stays as previous years all Cityzen Matchday members get a window to buy season tickets.
Yes I think that’s what I will do when the relocation window opens.If you are semi serious, why don’t you look at where you could relocate to? I’d assume you could have a look without committing to changing.
Pretty sure the points system only began when we moved to the Etihad, or Comms as it was back then.Done via points and windows last year. So not a "queue" per se, but I only got mine after building up points for a few years.
(I actually had a season card through my Dad throughout the 00s and sometimes wonder if there is an old account knocking about. When did "points" start getting officially counted?)
