True, but I think the Burnley game is an outlier. Midweek, in winter, Burnley returned nearly half their allocation, more fans than normal have put their ticket on the exchange for resale, and the cheapest adult ticket is £61.Soriano and City will only learn the hard financial way. The more they keep on increasing ticket prices, the less chance matches will sell out, especially when the Etihad is expanded to 62,000.
Put all that together and it’s going to be a hard sell even for fans who don’t normally get much of a sniff for league games. And the midweek kick-off against a team not considered one of the bigger clubs in the league (no offence to Burnley) isn’t going to attract too many tourists either.
