Stand against prices

I was critical of our executives yesterday because of the shoddy way I think our club is currently being run, in more ways than one, but was told I was talking rubbish, being silly and somebody even hinted I was a supporter of another team. We’ll never achieve anything constructive as a fanbase because too many people don’t see it as a problem.

Mine and my son’s season tickets are nowhere near these match day prices, so I’ll just become one of the many “I’m alright Jacks” amongst our supporter base and watch this frog boil.

Exactly. There are too many City fans happy to go along with the constant ticket price rises, pricing City fans out of games, and how the club treats the fans in general, because of the trophies won by Pep since he arrived at City.
 
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

That’s a welcomed season ticket and match day price freeze next season.

Manchester City and Chelsea are in line to net summer windfalls of up to £60million - after Fifa signed a $1billion television deal with DAZN for the right to screen the Club World Cup.

Mail Sport understands that while no final decision has been made, both clubs have been told expect between £50m and £60m from their participation in the tournament, which takes place in the United States next year, after the game-changing agreement with the UK-based broadcaster last week.

The original figures were £50m participation and £150m to the winners. That’s quite a big drop to the cost of Nunes.

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

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.

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.

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
