Tin hat on but my ticket is only a couple of quid more than i thought it would be.
I'm in the cup scheme.

Really?

I’m in the Cup Scheme and it’s the same price as the quarter final was against Madrid last season and it’s £25.50 more expensive than the Leipzig home Group Stage game last season and £22.50 more expensive than the Dortmund home Group Stage game the season before.

Binned off the CL years ago, wouldn't have the points/money for the final anyway.

This is the other factor as well I’m not platinum and haven’t been for years I missed out Porto final by 500 points and just got an Istanbul ticket, I’ll never catch up and falling further behind, I’ve seen us win the lot I’m 55 and it’s getting grating now, I got lambasted for saying they might charge for the new fanzone eventually, think that will not happen I’d think again.
 
I'm not in the cup scheme so looking at those prices it's back to the family stand for me and my lad, £57.50 for both of us
 
This is the first time I've ever not been in the European scheme since we first got into Europe and the scheme was introduced.
Looking at the prices for this, I've definitely made the right decision.
God knows how much they will charge for the knockout games if we qualify.

Worth countering this by saying they also have the lowest percentage of season tickets in the league by some margin. They have just 27k season tickets for a 61k stadium, we have 40k season tickets for a 52k stadium. It's the equivalent of us having just 23k season tickets.

Won’t be long until the club will be saying that all ST holders have to be enrolled in all the cup schemes. This would be a sure fired way of getting rid of some ST holders to create for room for the one off tourists

I hate to say it but it many respects our Club is becoming more Raggy by the day. It’s all about “revenue opportunities “ these days and less and less about the legacy fans. Going to a game is getting to be really expensive when you factor in petrol, parking, a pie, a pint and a programme and it comes to not far off £75 for a regular seat. Multiply that 23 or 24 home games a season and it’s starting to get out of the reach of regular fans

We've been a tourist club for a few years now.

There's a reason the 3 trophies spent the entire season on a worldwide tour in 23/24. The club sees themselves as becoming a worldwide brand like Madrid or United. They're intentionally pushing for us to become a day tripper club. They've bragged more than once about being Americas most watched team.

Which wouldn't be so jarring if we had been a success for an extended amount of time, but im only 35 and can remember us being utterly mediocre while I was in high school.

So it's hard for some of the long time fans not to feel like they're being left in the dust a little.

And heaven forbid if we somehow get relegated in this FFP shitshow, it isn't going to be Americans coming over to broadcast their experience on Instagram Live that fill the seats. It's just a little uncomfortable having glory hunters among the ranks now

Thought it would be £35 with the rest of the group games £5 to £10 cheaper.

I researched this last season, I’ll have to see what they’re all doing with the new format, but:
Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan, Bayern Munchen… all included group stage games as part of their season ticket prices. So they knew well before the start of the season what their monthly payments would be and didn’t need to worry about how much an individual group game was going to be because it was already in with the price.

With this, season ticket holders would be far more open to coming along to CL games because it wasn’t an ‘extra’ cost when it came round.

City are clearly aiming to get to a similar percentage of season ticket holders though, Liverpool’s non season ticket members are given much more reasonable prices, previous attendance is recognised when selling tickets. City do none of this, it’s a complete joke.

No we're not? We have one of, if not the largest percentage of season tickets in the league, we are at about 75% the dippers are below 45%, the lowest in the league which means every single game they play at home theres potentially more tourists in the ground than local support. We are not even close to being in the same situation as them and there isn't a poorer choice of club to want to take example from than the dippers.

What they do with match tickets might be better than us, i'm not disputing that or trying to defend city, i,ve already expressed my anger at this latest piss take but the cost of these dipper concessions is almost halving the season ticket pool. If they had 40k+ season tickets as we do. There'd be none of that, the dipper fans would trade ticketing policy with us in a heartbeat.

Would you sooner we dropped 13,000 season tickets with the lowest points next season but then offered a tiny portion of those tickets cheap and a small window of priority?

Like I said, not defending City here just pointing out the full context. If we're going to pick a team to want to emulate, don't pick the biggest tourist trap stadium in the league
 
Email from the club this afternoon about the Inter game has it on Tuesday 18 Sept. They can’t even get the date right. It would be less confusing if they didn’t send anything.
 
But City have won PL titles in a row.
And City made

Nobody knows how many season ticket holders City have got, especially as lapsed season tickets are now being turned into match day tickets by the club.

The club has never given a season ticket figure out in public. The club will see that as commercially sensitive information.

So where has that 40,000+ season ticket figure come from you've quoted, just out of interest? Not having a go at you.

City don’t open up season tickets (that have been given up) as season tickets anymore. Haven’t been doing for two years. Our season ticket percentage is dropping year-on-year as a result.

The lad next to me gave his up two years ago and it’s been a different person there for every game since, all foreign, some supporting the opposition, one was a Mo Salah fan.
 
They must have analysis for each game that sets the highest possible price whilst ensuring that the game sells out. If the match sells out at these prices I think it's another watershed moment for the club's support alongside the Community shield sell out last season. Personally I think they have overestimated this by thinking that Pot 1 opponent equals demand that simply isn't there.
 
enrolled my 19 year old daughter, back of ssl3 32.50, plus an additional 75 quid for 2 adults, way way over the top for a tedious group game
 
The only thing that will change is the price will go up year on year as people will still go. If I decide to stop going someone will take my place. The club know this and that’s the way it is unfortunately
 
And then because everyone is skint in October they'll roll out the inevitable Pep presser where he calls for 'our people" at the dead rubbers. Lol
