Ticket Prices

Why not offer a family season ticket - 2 adults and 2 children for circa £1200?

The kids are essentially coming for free and the club gets a hold of four regulars.

Even a matchday family ticket for £100?

Families would be more inclined to club together, grandparents, mums and dads, to justify the costs.

Seems like a good idea in theory, but in reality many families in and around Manchester cannot afford 1200 quid for a holiday nevermind a season ticket. And £100 a game per family when the cost of living is rising. Some may pay if money isn't a problem but some parents struggle to feed their kids.

Ticket prices are too expensive for plenty of non attending blues, sadly. And the club need to lower prices accordingly in order to fill the stadium, but they most probably won't.

Apropos of nothing except a sudden urge to know the answer..... Why, when and how did the ban on taking water into the stadium come about? I can understand alcohol but why water?
City Matters folk.... any of you know the definitive answer, not a guesswork one but definitive please?


For a couple of seasons I had a letter from Supporter Services stating that I was allowed to take in a bottle of water because of my diabetes. I then started to get questioned by the stewards about why water not Lucozade!! So I gave up. I think that is when I started to get paranoid about taking/sneaking water in.

Think it's the bottles ? Just take one in ....fuck 'em......you need it. Ignore the dicks outside

138 seats still available in 327. 138!

First playing second, and a possible January title decider match.

It’s absolutely ridiculous.

It should already be sold out and full for Saturday.

It had "sold out" by mid Dec, those rows must have been held back and released.

Where do junior players get the freebies/raffle seats these days? If I was running the academy I wouldn't want players attending football matches at this current time just to spectate.

Unsociably early kick off times have an impact

I bought a £299 Value Gold SC for a season a few years ago and they put me halfway up block 327.

Where did you expect to sit for £15 a game ...lording it in the 105 : ) We've had 2 value golds with one in the gods in 307 row cc with back to the wall and the other high up in the south stand. Couldn't see a thing but the atmosphere was pure brilliant. Had to keep asking the chap next to us who had the ball?

So regarding those empty seats in 327 it's £65 for the adults therefore a family with 2 kids would be £212 which is serious money in this inflationary climate. You'd also have to leave grandma and grandad behind because City are also rinsing the old crusty's at £52 a seat : /

I wanted an empty seat in the royal box near to Khaldoon, but the put me in't third tier called doom.
 
18-21 £52 - By the time you've paid for parking/ travel - got some food and a beer (and maybe whatever else the yoot may need - you're looking at a £100+ day for a shit seat up in the Gods with no atmosphere.

As its on TV I can see why this hasn't sold out

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.

I think it’s clear that the boardroom have no fucking understanding of our fanbase whatsoever, and I don’t think they care to try and understand.

There are enough City fans in Greater Manchester to have a 65,000 stadium packed to the rafters every single week. Yet we’re in a situation where we’ve been struggling to get people through the turnstiles and are awash with empty seats. We have been just about the worst in the Prem for them over the last five years, I reckon only Arsenal and Southampton are anywhere near us.

It’s not the empty seats that bother me so much, especially when we’ve historically been a fanbase of fluctuations in attendances from game-to-game. But what has bothered me for years is that mates and family have fancied going to a game yet it says the game is “SOLD OUT” (usually with a big announcement on the website), only to see thousands of empty seats around the stadium when the game is being played; or they have fancied going to a game and then find out that tickets are £65 and £41 for kids (it’s £9 for kids at Anfield, NINE FUCKING QUID FOR FUCK’S SAKE!)

The contempt our fanbase is held in by our board is apparent.

Even season tickets are not good value for money. My ticket works out at £44 a game, when it was decided by the FSF and Premier League that fans shouldn’t be charged more than £30 for tickets (which our boardroom unsurprisingly voted against). All I’m doing is the exact same thing I was doing when we were in the third tier of English football; just going to watch my football team.

It only costs £570 to do all 19 away games!
