Stand against prices

[I'm not really here]

Got the email this morning about boxing day Everton tickets,
first thing went through my mind was ooh mustn't be able to shift em, therefore cheap tickets,
how silly I was, would have snapped em up straight away for daughter and grandson,
not at that price, its absolutely barmy

The club would rather have empty seats than give us cheap tickets. Probably see it as give us an inch and we'll take a mile, so doubt they're going to budge, besides they probably think it's bargain considering they don't live on the same financial planet as the rest of us

wow, another ticketing shambles, what has happened to our club, greedy greedy bastards

They are an absolute disgrace and we as a fanbase should be hammering these twats, short term thinking and a total disregard for the legacy fans and two fingers up for fans who want to treat their children or grandchildren, they have no idea about our core support, we do NOT have hordes of fans all across the country desperate for tickets, we are not the 'ugly sisters', the day trippers from overseas will drop off if success isn't maintained, you extend the ground and make no effort to make it affordable for local fans, utterly clueless.

I normally agree with a lot of what you post, but I don’t think you’re reading the room on this one mate.

No trains and double fare for taxis as well.

Return coach travel from North Yorkshire to the Etihad and back via Leeds and Harrogate. £15 adult. £10 concession. Parking included. A return family ticket is £30

You may be right. Not really sure what everyone’s point is though. I think it’s mainly match day tickets that are too expensive and should be reduced.

I saw a top poster say there should be unlimited ticket transfers and guaranteed refunds on tickets placed on the exchange. Nobody said that’s a little bit difficult for the Club. It reminded me a bit what Alan Sugar used to say on the Apprentice,
“Anyone can give money away”.

I like watching KDB and Haaland. I used to like watching Dickov and Vonk but I don’t want to go back there.

I spend enough hours for a part-time job each week helping Blues get cheaper tickets and travel (voluntarily). Loads of other Blues who run OSC Branches or run unofficial coaches like several posters on here go the extra mile for fellow Blues. I don’t really like to mention it but how many of the people complaining about the Club (who certainly deserve their share of criticism) do likewise? In my experience, the more politicised people tend to (not always of course) do less for others. I like the commitment of the Food-bank and 1894 people for example.

Btw I had to laugh reading another City forum about an hour ago. A Blue is complaining that they can’t get parking for the Derby because there’s too many disabled places.” You can please some of the people, some of the time……….”

It was clear our Directors couldn’t be trusted when they reversed the heavily discounted tickets for Juniors for lower profile games a couple of years ago. They’ve had to row back a little bit but Thea Everton ticket prices has shown up the impact of greed.

3 years since a home game on Boxing Day ? I thought it much longer than that as can’t remember it at all ?

It was a difficult match to forget.

Jeez, there's some joyless sods on this thread, it's Christmas FFS.

Got an email this morning from City offering to see Andrea Bocelli live at the Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi, on NYE. Bargain at £13,388.00 per night for 3 nights.
7 of us on it.
Can't wait.

Citeh, Citeh, Citeh.

When a CEO is on a 7 figure salary, plus bonuses.
When a Director is on a 6 figure salary, plus bonuses.
You’re right, they don’t live or think like the rest of us on 5 figure salaries.

Can someone explain to me how a club that is known for having cheaper ticket prices than Championship clubs can generate a billion in revenue, putting them on par with Real Madrid—more than us and other Premier League clubs? This just proves that you don’t have to rip off your fans with outrageous prices to make good profits. Hopefully, our bosses will take a moment to think about this because it’s honestly infuriating at this point.

Salford tickets are cheap. Let's sell out and show the club that we want to be there at the right price.

It is irritating that a game of football, which you can be attending twice a week, costs the same as a potential once in a lifetime gig/theatre experience

I've just paid £145 to fly to Gothenburg in January, stay in a 4 star hotel for 2 nights and see the band I want to see.

And people wonder why I don't attend games anymore
