Seat Counters - 2023/24

[Chappie]

Do the club still read this forum to gauge the views of fans? If so I hope they realise what robbing cunts they have become. The ticket money is such a small proportion of the total income too. Pathetic short-termism

12% of our annual income, hardly a small proportion.

How many other prem clubs offer ticket exchange?

Most. Possibly all bar Luton and Sheffield utd

How many other prem clubs offer ticket exchange?

A quick look shows Rags, Arsenal, Dippers, Spurs, Brentford, Brighton...and a few Championship teams.

Hardly the lions share is it

Without the pathetic, greedy price rises of the last few years it would still be at least 8% I reckon. I'm sure they could make back that 4% in other areas.

Ha, I put one for Everton on TE and although it's already been sold, I've been told it will be between 10-45 days after the game before I see the refund....jokers!!

Maybe the Ticket Exchange shouldn’t be guaranteed to pay out for games like Everton. The coach I help to run to the games will be running at at least £100 loss this weekend. It was looking like closer to £200 but I’ve managed to source tickets for Blues who don’t always get the chance to go to boost our numbers. We are making up the shortfall with a raffle.

I like the Ticket Exchange but Blues who use it are endorsing the Club’s match day prices. I’ve no real issue with that. I’m just stating a fact.

The club don't give shit our fanbase is changing because it's all extracting as much money out of supporters as possible and diehards are slowly being replaced by affluent tourists and that's what the club wants.

Khaldoon has said several times in his end of season speech that local supporters are important yet every season bar one they've put SCs and match tickets up. When people are struggling to meet ends meet to eat and heat their houses it's not easy to afford to attend games as tickets fuel parking food and drink have all gone up. We're making millions from trophy money, TV money advertising revenue and corporate money right now so fleecing fans should not be happening.

When our success dries up(and it will) we'll struggle to fill our stadium, especially when north stand is finished. It might suddenly dawn on them that the tickets are too high but some supporters won't be tempted back because it's easy and convenient to watch games on TV. City are playing a game which may backfire on them, i hope they take heed and listen to us.

Totally with you on this. I don't miss any games, so don't need to do anything, but everyone I know just pass their ticket on if they can't go.

Add to that the difficulty just getting to the ground with the new parking restrictions, all adds up. I’m addicted and will never stop, as I suspect you are, but these price increases will have a huge impact. Hope Pep realises this next time he wonders why the home crowd isn’t as passionate as it could be. Thirty quid for away matches is fair, 77 for home games is madness

And 100% of our owner’s profits.
