Re: Should City Follow West Ham and Reduce Season Ticket Pri

its not a price drop its a feed for need like a drug dealer give's you the first dugs away know you will be hooked then its double


city need to bring back walk up and pay on the gate its about local fans having not much money and they can pick if they want to go on the day of the game I bet if maine road back in the late 80s early 90s was all ticket the walk up the crowd would have been down 10% or more

I think Manchester city have been the best club for a long time with a ticket prices and season tickets
and we are still very much a Manchester club so fans are local but the glory hunters and weekend breaks fans are finding there way to east manchester

This year money is tight for us, as i have started new business. So we were thinking we might have to sack the season tix off, or just have one adult and one 17 year old an take turns etc. Anyway I have
Just relocated us to new third tier from east 106 and I know the view might be shite in comparison, but the atmosphere might be better...and its cost me 8 quid more for the three of us than just one ticket for me in 106. So phew thanks city, praise be.

Isn't this another reason why FFP is wrong? Not sure what percentage of our revenue is from ticket sales but I would suspect that City and indeed every other club need to bring in the cash to help balance the books and help us buy the players we all hope for.

As said before, West Ham need to fill about an extra 20,000 seats and the move to the Stadium isn't well received from all of their fans. Season tickets at the usual prices simply won't sell. I'm fairly sure had they not been leaving Upton Park then this significant price reduction would not have happened. They don't have the support base Tottenham and Arsenal do.

Not a chance a reduction will happen. A price freeze as a token gesture next season before another few hikes is my prediction. The club couldn't care less about long standing fans no matter how much some want to believe it.

Some season ticket prices have gone down this year, including mine.

To be fair they are reducing their cheapest from £620 to £289, it doesn't say how many or whether there will be more than there is of our £299 and £350.

Correct, they could just have a couple of thousand of them and the fact that they've undercut our lowest by a tenner stinks of PR manipulation of the facts. And they're not even going to lower the prices next season but are actually raising them until they move. Pure BS.

However, I do think that getting the next generation coming into your ground is vital to the future, so City should be selling children's seasoncards and matchday tickets as cheaply as possible, even 'at a loss' ... because it will reap dividends later when those children support City for the next 60 years, and their children, and their children's children, etc.

But then those same children and children's children will come on Blue Moon complaining that City have put the prices up because they are now adults!!! ;-)






Humour alert, Humour alert.

Many have increased by over 50% and fans in certain areas have no choice but relocate because their seat has become a corporate area.
