Semi Tickets....

[Oils]

Who's the plebian here? Don't worry my friend,my kids keep me entertained along with my wife etc. Economic depression????? Fuck me-Is that the recession you mean that has been going on for the last 2 yrs that people use for every excuse in life.Yeah utilities are dear.I pay £134 per month for my gas and electricity...And?
Tell you what,why not write to city and demand they reduce future ticket prices...Listen to yourself,it's a fucking business you clown,not a charity.

So if it had been in the Semi final of the champions league you wouldn't be able to go then? Due to cost...Do me a favour mate

Your right if it was the Champions League semi final i'd probably find space on a credit card.....but its not, and as i've replied to some one else i have my reasons for choosing Wigan away...doesnt make me any less a blue or want us to win tomorrow any less.

So you have finally admitted to it being due to it being a tv carling cup semi,as you would be able to squeeze it for a champs league...Unreal! This is the problem as to why it isnt selling out and the club are 100% correct in rewarding cup scheme members with the first option on final tickets and cheaper tickets for the earlier rounds.

i give up mate.

I knew i'd regret getting involved in this...its my sons first away game so whilst Wigan away for most of us isnt the best...to him it will (hopefully) be magic.

As good a reason as any, I hope he loves it, and being amongst 5000 blues I'm sure he will. My problem with this sort of thread is that you shouldn't have to justify yourself to anyone, why you choose to go or not go to a City game is entirely up to you.

The biggest reason this thread is here at all is the insecure ones who's rag mates might laugh because they saw a few empty blue seats, and they can't cope with it, unlike those of us who are a bit more mature and can turn it round by asking if they were still there when Dzeko scored the 6th (if they go at all, which in my experience most don't).

i take it, you have been to every game this season then?

No I haven't-due to work-not cost, but the thread is about the pricing of the tickets and so called fans blaming the club. Not how many away games any particular fan has been to. It's easy to say well you haven't been to this away game blah blah..The issue is the fact that fans cannot be arsed to attend a semi final at home and blame every man and their dog for this. I was laughing at having joined the cup scheme and only paying £15 against the rags yet some paid £40...This is because the fans who join the schemes get rewarded with cheaper tickets. The ones who don't have to subsidise the discounts that cup scheme members get.

I was happy with that too but you have got to tone down your attacks on people. You generalise too much. Some people who follow city already do prioritise over nights out etc.... I am sure there are some who dont like you say but you have to be careful not to group everyone in the same category.

I loved Wembley last year and want another taste of that. What a fcking great couple of days out they were.

However I chose Liverpool over Wigan which is an away I do every year. Was that the right decision based on the fact that almost everyone would choose the Prem over the Carling Cup? I bet we have no more than 3000 at Wigan this year when we normally have 5000. If we lose was I wrong to choose CC over Prem? I dont know.

It's not an attack on people and if it sounds that way then it isn't . It is a defence of the club and telling people that city are not a charity case and they owe our fans fuck all when it comes to cheap tickets. We have (and still are) very competative but comments such as "the club has fucked up here" or "city need to sort this out" are just plain fucking stupid and uncalled for! We couldn't sell out when tickets were frigging £10,£20 in times gone by.

The money thing doesn't sit comfortable with me at all. It's a load of bollocks. True it is expensive but how many on here went out on the lash this weekend just gone blowing a ton-ton fifty on a boozy weekend. Sorry it's called sacrifices and it's Man city in a semi final. For fucks sake I would have only dreamt of this many years ago.

I have children.I have a mortgage,I have bills as everyone. I don't smoke and I rarely drink.

City is my drug and my passion.Not sinking another pint on a Saturday night and then slating the club for their incorrect pricing policy. What a load of fucking bollocks some so called fans spout on here. If it was a Champions league semi...would you go...Course you fucking would. It's purely and simply because it's the Carling cup.

Well to all the stay aways who can't be arsed.YOU ARE A DISGRACE.

some people have to pick witch games they go to. not everyone is like you and can afford to go every game. calling people a DISGRACE for not being able to afford it is sad

Cleavers you are wrong. This is fuck all to do with what they think or say for me-heard it all before from them and I just laugh at them because that's all they got. This is a defence of mcfc and peoples constant berating of so called unfair prices.<br /><br />-- Tue Jan 10, 2012 10:56 pm --<br /><br />

But why are you so upset that it will not be sold out tomorrow ? You keep going on about people pissing their money up the wall etc etc. but you do not know that is the case at all. In fact you have no clue at all why the 10 to 15 thousand that were there on sunday will not be there tomorrow night.

Perhaps wednesday night is the AA meeting night.

Cleavers you are wrong. This is fuck all to do with what they think or say for me-heard it all before from them and I just laugh at them because that's all they got. This is a defence of mcfc and peoples constant berating of so called unfair prices.

But the prices are unfair to many people and I thought very hard before deciding to go, despite going to almost every home game for god knows how many years. This and £40 plus for the rags for people not on cup schemes is too high. I am not blaming the club for this because I am almost certain that Liverpool and the Rags have an input into this. Porto will be the one to look at to see if this is the case. I fully expect that game to be no more than £10 with a 5pm kick off. Time will tell.

It really doesnt matter how many are there as long as those that are there get behind the team.

I think the price is a fair one for a Semi Final, i just cant afford the price they set...i'm not saying its unfair just not affordable to me. FInally agree with something you've said tho....couldn't give a shit what they think, they'll all vanish when we take the league of them
