They've only been an OK price because they've struggled to shift them. This season they've gone up and I can see the price difference closing further rather quickly the way things are heading.Is the pricing more to do with the actual premier league itself and not actually city saying how much etc? Because in the champions league and cup the tickets are at an ok price where the club probably have more of a say on ticket prices.
I went wherever I could with my mates from about 1967 onwards, mainly local aways, Newcastle 68 was unbelievable. Everybody you saw was a mate that day - even Newcastle fans!Spot on,late 60s,70s and 80s with your mates pay on the gate and standing happy days.
My sister and her hubby also go to the games not on tv, but she's disgusted by the prices now. They won't be at the Wolves game, sad.I am 80 years old and have been a supporter for over sixty years, but can no longer afford a season ticket, so I usually go to the games not On tv, but now I have to pay £35 a year if I want to buy a ticket for these games, seems very unfair considering how wealthy the club is, very disappointed in City.
Very upsetting to see fans being priced out. Not a club anymore, we're a tourist attraction.I am 80 years old and have been a supporter for over sixty years, but can no longer afford a season ticket, so I usually go to the games not On tv, but now I have to pay £35 a year if I want to buy a ticket for these games, seems very unfair considering how wealthy the club is, very disappointed in City.
You can have a City account and number for free Barry but granted, the seasoncard holders and those with the paid for membership get priorityI am 80 years old and have been a supporter for over sixty years, but can no longer afford a season ticket, so I usually go to the games not On tv, but now I have to pay £35 a year if I want to buy a ticket for these games, seems very unfair considering how wealthy the club is, very disappointed in City.

City have complete autonomy over PL an CL Tickets, can set FA cup tickets what they like as long as adults are at least £10 but have to agree LC tickets.Is the pricing more to do with the actual premier league itself and not actually city saying how much etc?

Out of interest, what would you say was a fair price to watch the best team in the world compared to what other top PL clubs charge?Very upsetting to see fans being priced out. Not a club anymore, we're a tourist attraction.
Maximising profit. If the club gave a shit they wouldn't have removed all those seats to get the bigger advertising hoardings in. Two birds with one stone, increase advertising revenue, charge more for tickets as less seats available. I hope whoever came up with that one is proud of themself.It’s just wrong isn’t it. I know lots of blues in a similar position to you. Blues that have been going for years who now can’t afford it.
What on earth are the club doing. I think your story should be shared with the media.
He got a value gold and sold it on here for £350 half way through the season. Complete hypocrite.Out of interest, what would you say was a fair price to watch the best team in the world compared to what other top PL clubs charge?
Tickets for Sunday are available for £35 to an over 65 with a membership.
6 games a season and the membership has paid for itself.
I don't like the prices as much as anyone else but this isn't a City thing, it's a football thing.
Football is as popular as ever presently and that comes at a price.
The PL and UEFA could easily grow a pair and set ticket prices for their "products", sign up or you aren't in but they won't.
It's the money men who run the game that your beef is with, City are just going along with everyone else, if they don't they would be fucked.

They wouldn’t be fucked at all. They could change the prices from £70 to say £50.. literally last season the same ticket against spurs cost less
your trying to blame other people when it’s 100% the club making these decisions. From what I’ve seen United, Liverpool and other teams don’t charge these prices for standard seats.
I agree it’s a football thing that needs dealing with, but it’s the club who are deciding to do this. The club for example forced thousands out of their seats for advertising boards and more corporate areas
I thought you only get the £29 if the club sell it on.It probably won’t sell and the Club will lose £29 (plus admin costs).

The high prices are for the best seats remaining or S/T returns on the exchange.They wouldn’t be fucked at all. They could change the prices from £70 to say £50.. literally last season the same ticket against spurs cost less

Bit like the Rags with Referees and VAR, guaranteed decision.For certain big games they guarantee you the money even if it doesn’t sell.
Games against the “Top 6” are guaranteed refunds on the Ticket Exchange. That’s partly why there were plenty of tickets still available on the Ticket Exchange on a cold, midweek night.I thought you only get the £29 if the club sell it on.
They already do in a way with large numbers turning up in City gear with 'Etihad' and the Puma logo emblazoned on the shirt.In an age where everything in football is sponsored - from noodles to tractors - I’m surprised no one has ever sponsored a fan base.
Imagine the positive exposure a big business would get by subsidising all non-corporate tickets to make them all £30?
The club doesn’t lose money, the business gets unbelievable coverage by “giving the game back to working class fans” and supporters get affordable tickets.
