Ticket Prices

Yeah as a one off game? I bet they couldn't afford it on a regular basis. It's a joke.

If that's the case why are the cat A sold out season in season out? It's the lower category games we struggle with.

It's just a pity all the youngsters and Families that went to the Fulham game can't aford to go to this one or Liverpool or Chelsea or the rags
Wonder how many that paid £63 for tomorow went to Fulham game !!!

Probably 95% of them.

I think it's because people that can only afford a few games are obviously going to pick the so called better games? I'm just talking from experience's that I have seen with friends that are struggling to get to the matches because of cost? And yes they went to the Fulham game.

That's fine if you go on your own but cost prohibitive for families
Maybe one day the club will wake up & smell the roses and make the majority of games a reasonable price for everyone not just the ones they think fans can't be arsed going to
Even on here so many different views about ticket pricing and policies so I wonder what is In store for the future
Let's hope for 3 points tomorow

Are you sure that many families used to go in the old days. Coming from Wythenshawe where people did not have a lot of money everyone in my class would support City or United but I can rarely remember any of them actually going to a game. Certainly apart from the odd one off game my Dad (who when single had been a regular supporter) only started to go again with me when I started work.

obviously the demand is higher for the bigger games, but a lot of the time it’s not city fans buying the tickets. It’s often sports fans out for day out. Block 107 id regularly sit next to people who just wanted a day out. The club also sell tickets to ticket agencies for the bigger games, which are then sold on for huge prices

A lot of the lower cat game lots of season ticket holders can’t be bothered with either.

fa cup games are the perfect example of why tickets should be reduced. Think long term. We shouldn’t force local fans into either only going to cheap games or going to one or two big games a season

The sales for half and half scarves for category A games are stupendous :)

Exactly so price the lower cat games cheaper. The focus is wrong the cat a games are priced correctly if they weren't they wouldn't sell out.

Prices are very cheap for kids season tickets, people buy them and they aren't always used.

Prices were cheap for Fulham in NS, £1 a kid, people bough them and did not take their seats due to the weather or did not turn up.

Prices are cheap in SSL3 and it is the stand most likely to list on the ticket exchange.

People won't go tomorrow due to the weather and danger on the roads, and trains possibly not running too. If the weather gets worse there will be lots of gaps and people who no intention of going will complain they were prevented by the bourgeoisie buying season tickets and not using them.

Back in the 70s & 89s it was mainly older lads & young men that went
Things changed with new seating in Platt lane & the Kippax and designated family stand & it carried on to the Etihad

Yeah it wasn't safe for women and children, or grown men. Too many illiterate dickheads went then and ruined it for everyone else.

You need to be a member up until most sell out so I'm unsure why this would be true for the top cat a games you can't buy without previous history. so they .must be getting them on the secondary market and paying even more
