Seat Counters - 2024/25

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Crazy that there’s a £95 difference between the seat I sat in for the semi and the seats in for the final in the same sort of area are going for £125. Robbing bastards. I made the decision to sit it out this year a few days ago. Football is becoming to expensive, I’m fortunate to earn a decent wage so I can’t imagine how it must feel for people who can’t afford to go to the odd game over the course of the season.

£135 difference on level 2 and it’s just greed on the part of the FA. Hopefully the regulator will get hold of them and sort this nonsense out.

I still expect a chunk of returns to come on sale at some point. I seem to remember it happening last year or the year before after the allocation had all gone.

I think there will be a decent amount of OSC allocations that haven't been purchased. Currently showing 158 in L1 and 104 in L5 for the £125 allocation. They've got until 10am tomorrow to buy them.

If there are any, it would be ideal to get them uploaded before it opens to match-day members.

Do we reckon any 75 and 50 quid tickets will be returned? Don't really fancy paying 125 pounds for a ticket, an expensive dayout, and that's before travel and food costs. If not, is there any chance I could buy one from someone on the forum. I know there's a ticket and travel exchange (used it myself to sell a couple tickets to the charity shield against arsenal), but they seem to be stricter about whose name is on the ticket these days, and was wondering if it would still be possible to go this route?

charging 285 pounds for a football match is shameful, imagine being up for ticket for you and your lad, and it comes in at over 500 quid for both before travel. Anyone know why the club took tickets out of the cheaper categories, surely the players/directors could afford to pay for those

This is why semi-finals don’t sell out!

I’m actually quite glad we’ve been wank this year because if we made it to Munich it would have been a fucker my bank account. I’m going to the club world cup next month and it’s two months away from season ticket payment, it’s just to much to paying out for 90 minutes of football. I’ll be gutted next weekend when I’m not there but I’ll be more than made up in a months time when I know I’ve saved a bit more cash for my America trip.

If you play your cards right you’ll get a free trip to El Salvador from the US!

100% there will, I'd guess 2000+

Us Seat Counters should be given a seat on the City board.

"Us"?

 

[Gingers Dad]

Aye, i've told her she has to pretend to be a balding 53 year old particularly grumpy man on the way in. shouldn't be hard.

Enjoy the day

The £125 are showing but can you actually buy them - when trying to add the seats they say not available?

Imagine if we get to another semi final next year, there will be more empty seats than ever. I paid £30 for the semi but I’ll probably fuck it off next season just to save up for a potential final. Like I said a few posts ago, if we were still good this season and we just had to pay out champions league QF & SF tickets, as well as the final, I would have to make some tough decisions. I’m quite glad Pep has gave all of our bank accounts a well earned rest.

 

[shnaghaicityfish]

have they announced additional criteria after "All SCs" yet?

Is that on top of the 2500ish that are still unsold?

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

I doubt very much whether the public gives a shit the costs that football fans are being asked to pay at the momen

Minor correction :).
If you've no interest in football why would you care what we're willing to pay - and, whilst the prices are criminal, as you can see from sales people are willing to pay

Istanbul cost me around £1500 which as a one off was painful but would have never missed it , but still no justification for the price of football.

Yes

Go back in and they’ll let you buy them. Took my mate a couple of attempts this morning.

That’s how I’m seeing the club world cup, a one off following City around America. Always dreamt of doing stuff like it. Munich would have been well expensive but I would have probably been there despite being £1500 less off. It’s going to get worst, only got to look at NFL ticket prices and that’s where football is heading.

Looks like a load of returns have just been added
