Ticket Prices

Don't worry. Cheer up. There's another lazer show before the teams come out. To be met by 1000-2000 empty seats.
If there’s only 1000-2000 I think we’ll have done well.
 
I can envisage City giving tickets away like confetti at the moment around schools/Uni's.

That's all a nice gesture but one that has been created by our prices but, why not contact ex-S/C holders and offer them one? At least they'd be on our side!!!

They are singles dotted about, not practical for school kids.
 
On a club to fan level we're so far behind United, even taking City Matters into account.

Following steep price rises in the 1990s and after the Glazer family took control of the club in a controversial 2005 takeover when ticket prices also rose steeply, they have since been held for 11 consecutive seasons.

For next season(this season), fans also have the option of opting out of the automatic cup scheme – that means they are not obliged to purchase every single ticket for cup games which they may not be able to attend. This came after consultation with fans via the Fans’ Forum and Fans’ Advisory Board.

Manchester United is revising its Season Ticket policies to offer more choice and flexibility, following consultation with fans.

From next season, Season Ticket-holders will be able to opt in or out of each of the cup competitions the team competes in.

The changes have resulted from consultation with the Manchester United Fans’ Advisory Board (FAB) and Fans’ Forum, whose members have worked closely with the club to develop the revised policies.

Reform of Season Ticket policies was among the first issues addressed by the FAB after its launch in January. The FAB is comprised of seven fan representatives and six senior club leaders and meets four times a year for in-depth dialogue on strategic issues. It operates in tandem with the larger Fans’ Forum, which focuses on matchday and operational matters.

 
I may be wrong but I feel the days of staunch loyalty to one club no matter what division they are in and how well they are doing successfully may be over.

When many of us older fans grew up football was the main affordable...an important word, pastetime. There was no internet, mass coverage of live games available, your TV football was one game on MOTD and two games on Sunday afternoon, none live. The only live games were the FA cup final and the odd international. No tickets were required except for big games. You decided on the day, hopped on a bus or train, queued up, paid cash and you were in, no questions asked. That spontaneity has now gone.

If we lose a generation of new young fans and stop winning trophies again we're going to be in the shit. Us older fans are sadly dying or becoming too frail to attend every game. I think somebody mentioned £34 for a kids ticket, that's insane. Personally for me £35 was the top whack I was willing to pay except for cup finals. Luckily due to having a season ticket I never had to pay more. I certainly wouldn't pay £68 for a league game, not a chance in hell.
 
Soriano, previously CEO at Barcelona.

The cheapest basic match day ticket at Barcelona for the match against Getafe is €54(£47) in different parts of the ground.

Full list of basic ticket prices are via the link.

 
9320 - they were £65 for Bournemouth in 2015/16, it is the others seats that have gone up worse - SS3 £55.50 for the worst seats in the house.

I think these have been jacked up like a lot of games from original prices when they realised demand is higher this season. It is only the aways that are affordable and it used to be the opposite way around.
Doing their best to force the working classes out. No surprise really it was inevitable. We all backed the billions and loved £5 tickets for Hamburg and the tickets will be affordable bullshit they initially fed us. Their as bad as any other billion air owners apart from Malcom’s mob.

When I first moved down to that London in the early 80s, I used to decide whether or not to go to an away game on the morning of the game, based on the weather and/or if I was fit to drive there.

Get up, get in car, drive to (say) Sunderland, pay on the gate, find mates, watch match, go home.

Never got locked out, rarely had to buy a ticket, went in the home section if the City end was full. Never had any bother.

Probably got to more aways than home games over the 80s, early 90s. Then Sky and the scousers ruined it.

Younger fans will never get to experience the game like that.
