Ticket Prices

[jrb]

He presided over the biggest price rises, cat A went from £28 to £48 in 4 years under him, and a £10 jump in his first year.

He was all about the product and clueless about football. He may have given away free tickets now and again, but the rest of us paid for it in spades and then some.

10 consecutive season ticket price rises.

Totally agree Ric
We all no mates who have sacked it off
We all no families ,relatives ,nieces & nephews who would love to go but the prices are just Barmy
Some fans & families just want to go, say 3 or 4 games a season but you got to fork out £35 for a membership card before you start
Fu*king bonkers
Instead of just season ticket holders & membership card holders there should be loads of other incentives to get fans in the ground
Are crowds & fan base are brilliant but with a bit of help from the club we could be even better & more youngsters & the not so well of could watch City at the ground instead of on the telly

If true, which I doubt?

We haven't sold 99.9% of tickets for 99.9% of home games so far this season.

There's 2 more very important things you have to factor in for the current tickets sales.

1. Pep Guardiola
2. A trophy winning team.

Take both of them away in the future + £60+ tickets and crowds will plummet.

Why would you doubt it there was less than 50 tickets available a few weeks ago for Spurs. Liverpool and United have sold out, Chelsea was sold out months beforehand.

Cat As aren't the issue. So the price will never change.

All the rest of your post is an assumption. The fact that these games sell so quickly tells a different story.

As the cost of living has gone higher and higher, petrol, gas, electric, rent, food, essentials, City fans will make hard choices. £60+ on a single match ticket isn't happening, especially as the match is at 5.30pm on a Saturday night. Cheap beer from the supermarket and a takeaway.

Cook was there 3 years and Soriano nearly 10. Cook was still learning and listening to the match going fans, prices may have increased initially, but I believe he would have controlled it better than what it is now, we'll never know, but that's my gut feeling.

Prices went up more under Cook from 07/08 to 11/12 then they have in ten years since. They have only gone up £5 since 2014 and are pretty maxed out for PL individual games.

I think they maxed the prices out in the early years and have had nowhere to go now, bar the season tickets where they have most people dripped up over 10 payments and will continue to increase.

Approx 250 tickets left for Brighton a month away at nearly £50 a pop.. Yet there will be 3-5000 empty seats matchday.

Theres 250 seats left for a game against Brighton at £45 for the worst third tier seats! A game that we almost certainly don't know when it will be played and will almost certainly be played at night at short notice. Explain how that fits in with your narrative.

Rather than slag the club and slag the fans who go, why don't you actually understand why we have seats available the day before a match. I'll give you a clue TICKET EXCHANGE

There's about 400 tickets left on the seat planner. Can't be arsed counting them. That probably doesn't include tickets sold to ticket agencies, tickets given away, etc.

Where you get 50 tickets left a few weeks ago I don't know??

United and Liverpool will always sell out. Tell us something we don't already know.

But what about the bread and butter games against Brentford, etc, with hundreds, if not thousands of empty seats and unsold tickets.

Don't forget we've got the best manager in the world, we've got one of the best teams in the world, we're current PL Champions, we're currently top of the PL, yet we've struggled to sell out all season.(bar United and Liverpool, arf!)

What story does tell you? Stop deluding yourself. Face facts. And the truth!

Good night!

Makes you wonder what the long term vision really is for the club. We’re pricing out a generation of fans. City fans are fucking everywhere you go now locally whereas 15 or 20 years ago despite our rhetoric we were easily outnumbered by rags. If we don’t get em into the habit of coming to the match regularly now before girls and careers and mortgages become the priority then in another 15 years when all the old timers stop going and our cycle of success has run its course we’ll be back down to 25k crowds

They are ticket exchange seats! It's not difficult
