I won’t be jeering Harry Kane

I agree, he is a great player, good for his country, never misbehaves, good role model, wanted to come to City

£63 a ticket is shameful. We don't deserve to sell out the game.

I saw your post and thought yeah of course you're right £63 is ridiculous, a cup final ticket price not what you'd expect to pay for a routine home game against mid table opposition. But i assumed that was the highest priced ticket available in a plush leather seat near the half way line on Level 2.

I was bang wrong ! £63 only buys you a seat up in the gods - are they having a laugh

Yep. £63 is the cheapest adult price. I'm not overly invested in the ticket price debate, tbqh, I accept that premier league football is now a luxury and that ticket prices will reflect that. Even at £40 or £50 I wouldn't look twice, not where I'd love them for to be but probably a reflection of the quality on the pitch. But £63 is absurd. £200+ for a family of four before you've even paid for lunch. That's getting close to 1/3 of a holiday in Spain at Easter. More than I've paid for Warehouse Project tickets this year for some of the biggest acts on the planet. I can and will see bloody Snoop Dogg at the arena for less.

That is outrageous

He is indeed a fine player and a great goal scorer. I know he wanted to come to us but, for me, that ship has sailed. Don’t think we should go back in for him.

The cost of living is going up fast so unless the club realise this and adjust next season's SC and match day ticket prices then some hard up supporters will have no choice but to stop going to games.

Something has to give and it's time clubs gave supporters something back by reducing prices, simple as that.

Snoop’s about 70 yrs old though, our guys are in their prime !! But yeah can’t argue with any of what you say.

City have obviously got their sums right and this model will no doubt raise the most revenue which of course is the be all and end all for business owners but for those of us who cling to the outdated notion of a chap waking up on a Saturday morning, deciding to go to the match and picking up a couple of reasonably priced tickets it’s sad to realise that this is no longer a feasible option at City.

Hey man, Snoop has still got it!

But yeah, it's more if I'm a 25 year old living in the city, no kids, earning, say, £26k a year, paying big money for rent and living costs, and you've got a £80 dispoable income for the weekend...you could do a gig at Yes for £15, four or five pints after in the NQ where you might get a snog, and a kebab on the way home or a football ticket and two pints at the ground. I know which one I'd be choosing! You've already got to be a die hard to opt for the football.
