There’s loads of possible reasons. One regular on here who I sorted a ticket for has gone into hospital with a medical condition. The fact is that these tickets have already been sold by City and there are no guarantees for individuals of resales.Some will have listed their Brentford ticket to afford Inter.
I agree with you pretty much, but with more and more tickets being listed for the reasons you state, and the demand seemingly not being there to pick up those listed tickets, it’s a concern in my opinion.Well it’s reassuring to know that these tickets have already been sold once. Demand might be dropping but there might also be an increased percentage of season card holders prepared to miss some or even most of the games. Also, the state of the railways and roads can’t be helping some Blues get to games. Parking is also more expensive.
I agree that demand for the Champs League group stages is likely to be dropping. Especially, now we seem to be a fixture in the final stages of the competition. It will still be a big crowd vs Inter.
I agree with much with what you say Beaker. I would add that developments in City’s apparent sales strategy discourages excessive demand for less glamorous games like Brentford at home. Flexi-gold, for example, encourages fans to focus more on tickets against the bigger rivals. Personally, I go to watch City and I don’t care who we play.I agree with you pretty much, but with more and more tickets being listed for the reasons you state, and the demand seemingly not being there to pick up those listed tickets, it’s a concern in my opinion.
With regards to the “league stage” as we now call it for the Champions League, it should be an opportunity for the club to encourage families, people with kids to attend with reasonable prices, making it available to non match day members early on, etc. but they really don’t seem interested in doing things like that.
I couldn't have put it better myself. Everything is very shortsighted and I spent 4 years trying, and failing, to convince them to think longer term.Something isn't right at the top, because everything feels very shortsighted.
I worry that the people in charge are maximising profits whilst we're successful so it looks good on their resume's, and don't give a shit what happens when we have a few bad seasons, because most of them will be gone by then anyway.
The light show had better be worth it.
The club price us like we are Liverpool or Utd, or in the capital, they are as thick as shit, and never learn, empty seats is good, maybe it will stop the never ending increases
It’s all about short term greed. I don’t understand why clubs can’t see the damage high ticket pricing is doing. We are going to end up with a generation of fans who don’t attend games.I couldn't have put it better myself. Everything is very shortsighted and I spent 4 years trying, and failing, to convince them to think longer term.
