Ticket Prices

[uncle fester]

Has anyone tried the commonwealth bar ticket package - just wondering what you get for your money (City vs Sporting £85)

6000 tickets left for Brentford on a Wed night in February!

Min adult cost £42. Children £22. Family of four £130 plus once fees paid.

OK, it’s ESL3, Block 308.
And it’s against Chelsea.
But come on, £93 for an Adult and an under 18. £93! (It will be £100 next season)

Chelsea should have sold out by now.

It’s unfair to point the finger as we don’t know who’s giving the final OK for these expensive ticket prices. It could be Khaldoon? It’s probably Soriano? But whoever it is, they’re taking the piss out of City fans.

We’ve discussed season ticket and ticket prices on here for years.
And rightly criticised and praised the club about various ticket prices depending on the cup competition, opponents, days, and times of the games. But the general consensus amongst City fans is ticket prices are still too expensive.

Employees of the club read Bluemoon. And I mean Directors and Managers. They know our feelings and grievances about expensive ticket prices. But they aren’t listening, bar the games where they have to offer cheap tickets to fill the ground as much as they can, such as certain CL group stage games, Carabao Cup games, and FA Cup games.(Fulham)

When the next City Matters meeting takes place I would like the City Matters Reps to discuss the on-going high ticket prices with the club.

sure its been said loads of time but the reds FFP rules create these prices

No they don’t.

We make enough money through TV money, prize money, and sponsorship deals to give fans cheaper ticket prices.

From the owners point of view he's here to make money not to provide cheap tickets. That's my interpretation. I can't know that but actions speak for themselves. TBH is I was owner, I'd do the same. We're competing with other clubs. The rational policy is to maximise revenue from available seating. For City that means charging £63 for Chelsea tickets because that's what we can get away with.

I know you don't like it but football has been commercialised. You want to find a another way.

I've had this rant before, but I'll have it again.

The rip off prices started when we moved stadium.

Season ticket holder, main stand, D block at Maine road. Third row from the back three rows in front of H block, level with 18 yard line, about two thirds up the stand. Like for like seat when we moved, level 1, 2 yards to the right of the goal line! To get a like for like seat cost me the privelidge of an additional £100 on top of the £400 season ticket price. 23 years I had that season ticket but fucked it off as was not paying circa £525 in 2005.

I'll pick a ticket up on here when people are selling them off, but 70, 80 quid etc, no chance.

Would rather they kept the Grealish money in the bank and capped season tickets at £300!

Ahem, unfortunately it's actually £106 for an Adult and a Nipper.

In comparison, as I sit in the same block, my ST works out at approx £36 a game, which I know you'll say the price difference is crazy, but this is the discount for committing to watch City at every home game, come rain, shine, snow and shit kick off times. Never mind the cup schemes I also pay for. It also gets increased (apart from last year) above inflation each year.

If City started knocking out tickets at £40, who would want to be a ST holder when I can pick and choose what games I attend and save hundreds a year?

Football has changed, it's no longer the sport it used to be for working class blokes on a Sat afternoon, it's now global entertainment. You're effectively paying for 2 hrs of entertainment and actually seeing it in person, plus enduring the pre-match build up in City Sq too.

If you wanted to get 2 seats to watch the Foo Fighters at OT Cricket Ground this Summer it would cost £93.50 a ticket for top notch entertainment. Value is all relative. And this is a top of the table clash.

I'd love nothing more for Khaldoon to subsidise all ticket purchases as I agree, overall prices are getting crazy, perhaps a 'refund' into your ST account after each attended game and then lower ticket prices for members wanting to attend the odd game and we definitely need price tiering so that tickets for Burnley, Watford etc are much cheaper.

Reading the forums today thought, with Fulham in the FA Cup coming up, there should be a chance for cheaper tickets for Adults and Nippers, yet the moaning on here about being drawn against Fulham is unbelievable. I'm hoping the Club prices the game low and we fill the stadium.

The prices were messes up when we moved, it was as there were only really two prices no matter how good or bad the seat, with one block in the corner of the South Stand (called aisle 120 at the time now called block 119) being around £300 and 121 next to it costing about £450, and anyone new wanting a ST only being offered the more expensive ones. The prices were frozen for about 5 years thought before Cookie Monster took the biscuit.

36 now available in 308 and only a few in the other blocks. Will be a sell out.
