Soriano gives no shits as to what any of us think.

Spot on. What's more, this is a bonus income match for the club given we have never got this far in the competition. Let's assume an average ticket price of £45 and ticket sales of 45,000. That's approx. £2m in ticket sales before food, beverage and merchandise sales. £35 average price is only £500k less. My point being the club are creating a lot of bad feeling for such a small difference in revenue.

Poor decision making by the club. I pray season ticket prices don't rise, especially after the average performances we have witnessed this year.

Of course it is a bonus income match for the club but have you thought that is also a bonus match for the fans after the incredible investment of the owners? If I was told in the summer of 2008 before the takeover that we would be in a CL quarter final in 2016 and 95% of Season Ticket Holder would be able to get a ticket in the range of £40-£50 I would have thought it was fantastic.

How can those who argue that expensive tickets are "the price of success" when Bayern Munich are offering season tickets at £104?

Yep..... but no fooker can roll up in Muncih and buy one can they?

Jeez. So Khaldoon is a small time ****? What about Sheikh Mansour - is he small time as well?

Not really seeing how that comment links to the Sheikh. Khaldoon talks the talk, with his yearly "we're still a community club" speech which many lap up, but when it actually comes to it in what way have the changes in recent years kept us a "community club". It's just price increase after price increase, and the single match tickets are disgraceful.

What does that even mean?

Read what I wrote rather than licking the screen.

If you think tickets should be priced to the absolute limit, and in doing so meaning that many long term fans are priced out, for an extra million here or there on the balance sheet then I'd say you were as well.

And Khaldoun will report at some point to the Sheik, be angry with those at the top of the club if that's what you want, but I'm not sure you can exclude the owner if you are blaming the chairman.

No point building the new north stand if long term supporters a being priced out. First people give ups cups, then they are on he slippery slope of packing in their season ticket. This was seen between 2004 and 2007.

The investment was just that. And he's seen a doubling of his capital input so if won't have hurt him. We are also now nicely in profit and the new TV deal is kicking in.

There's zero need for the constant increased in pricing.

There are a very limited number of £100ish Season Tickets. It is practically impossible to get a season ticket at that price or the higher priced ones.

Bayern have 200,000+ members who pay c £25 a season and that gives them the right to apply for matchday tickets on the ballot. So you get 150,000 or whatever applying and then most are unsuccessful. So then they go on the tout sites and pay £100. For one match.
