The entire touchline on both sides is 42 to 47 (mostly sold out now) and then you go one block over and the price is almost half.
Just found it odd there was such a high gap

£26 quid for a season ticket! It really was the peoples game back then.

Bizarre isn't it?
According to one inflation calculator, that's the equivalent of about £110 in 2022
Looking at it another way, I bought a house for £32k in 1981. That same house is now valued at around £650k, around 20 times more.
£26 x 20 = £520. All of a sudden that £299 season card looks even better value!

I always use an inflation factor of approximately x4 since 1980 ( the year I bought my first house) .
Hence £26 x4 = £104, so my calculations are pretty accurate.
So football inflation is alot more than x4 ,it's probably more like x 20.
Ridiculous really,as is house price inflation.
( I paid £12,000 for my first house in Middleton Junction. It would cost 12/13 times that amount in 2022).

And you thought City took the piss with ticket prices?
This is for the same seat at Old Trafford. One for the return derby in the new year and the other for their UEFA Cup game next week.

That is a hospitality package, to be fair. Worth nothing like £500 for the hospitality I’m sure but then some of our packages are eye watering as well…And you thought City took the piss with ticket prices?

I wouldn’t have bothered posting it if I’d known that. The guy who posted it on Twitter was at least implying, if not directly saying, all you got for your money was a padded seat. They must be struggling for Thursday if they’re giving away hospitality for 40 quid.
If you read the screenshot you posted it says tickets over £58 include hospitality. So City does Thursday night cup doesnt.

It says either a padded seat or hospitality. I am sure the expensive one includes hospitality and the cheaper one just a padded seat.
