tickets still available for tomorrow

[Cobwebcat]

There's been numerous surveys showing City's prices are 1. The cheapest in the Premiership and 2. The best value for money there is

So if people are unhappy it shouldn't be at City, but football prices in general, because you wont find a better deal anywhere else, despite the increases.

haha what a load of bollox

You think? Check your facts dopey:

Manchester City season ticket holders paid the least money per home win in the 2013-14 season, topping the VoucherCodes.co.uk Premiership Value League Table for the fourth year in a row.

The table uses the cost of the cheapest season ticket, as well as the price of the club's shirt, a scarf and a pie and a pint at each game to work out how much is paid for each home win.

Champions Man City top the table with a price of £28.56 per home win, finishing way clear of second-placed Everton (£49.02 per win).

City's free-flowing attack also meant that season ticket holders also paid just £7.71 per home goal, with Liverpool the next best at £16.51.

Fulham's supporters paid the most per home win (£128), while Norwich City's season ticket holders had to fork out £41.14 per home goal.

Manchester United's slump in home form this season sees them drop from second last year to eighth this year, with each home win costing £79.22 - £35.45 more than in 2012-13.

West Ham United were the most significant fallers in the table, dropping 12 places from seventh to 19th.

Ignoring a team's performance in home games, Arsenal are the most expensive club to support, with City the cheapest.

A season ticket, home shirt, scarf and a pie and pint at every home game would have cost £1,184 at the Emirates this season, while the same at the Etihad was almost £700 less at £486.

VoucherCodes.co.uk also looked at the distance travelled by the loyalest of supporters to every away game and found that Newcastle United's fans journeyed the most with a total of 4,333 miles.

Aston Villa's 2,244 miles was the shortest distance travelled by away fans. You can see all the data in the infographic below.

We also offer the cheapest season ticket in the article if you read it. Even with increases we are still the best value.

Please point me in the direction of the Prem team offering the best value if you think it's bollox

Or you could try

In fact there are dozens of them.

NOT CITY'S FAULT. FOOTBALL IS EXPENSIVE while it is you talking bollox.

 

[dobobobo]

I don't get what the big deal is?

Gigs don't always sell out across the land, concerts don't always sell out across the land, theatres don't always sell out across the land, sport grounds don't always sell out across the land.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Success has to be paid for and in a world of FFP, the Sheik cannot extensively subsidize ticket prices. Not that our owner should sudsidize ticket prices: this is a business, not a charity or a fan owned co-op.

The club are trying to become the world's best and you cannot do that on the cheap. Some supporters may not share the aspiration of having their club fielding the best team in the world but I do.

Whilst I'd echo those sentiments, I still think the club needs to tread very carefully over pricing. Subsequent to the demise of Wigan, City fans had the lowest "disposable income per head" last season in the Premiership (although I suspect Burnley may now have trumped us). I had to think long and hard about renewing this season (albeit that the travel costs were a contributory factor as well) and I'm a middle class, middle earner, with a full time job.
Britain is awash now with part time work, zero hours contracts and a whole host of other Government endorsed bullshit means of treating staff like shit and not paying them properly, and we ain't Chelsea or Arseholenal with a legion of foreign tourists ready to step into the seats vacated by those locals who can no longer afford to go. We keep ramping the prices up and those seats will simply go unoccupied

Oh come on the £299 value season cards is a way for city to try and get a bit media of praise in articles like this, a tiny amount of the 35 thousand season tickets are priced like that. However I still think most season tickets are decent value at city but they wont be long as there increasing in price every season. Even united are capping season ticket prices.

Matchday ticket prices are simply disgrace, £60 is a piss take for 90 minutes of football. You could argue that if the club is selling out
you cant blame them but ticket sale revenue brings in such a small amount compared to tv deals and other sponsorship deals. I Read somewhere that city could let everyone in for free this season and still make more revenue than they did last season due to increases in other sources of income.

As I said in a previous post hopefully safe standing is introduced in England as thats the only I can see prices getting cheaper.

 

[Shaelumstash]

100% this

Pretty much spot on.

I'm surprised how many blues think losing our core fan base is worth it because we're winning trophies.

Are you sure that is happening? We were losing fans at a rate of knots in the past, mainly due to the demographics of out fan base

I'd be happy to be proved wrong if you've got any data to suggest the opposite?

Going off purely anecdotal evidence on here, and people that I know, the season ticket holders have all renewed, and will probably continue to do so for the next few years if prices continue to rise at the current rate.

The traditional match going fan who perhaps can't afford a season ticket, but goes to say 10 games a season is increasingly being priced out, however. £50 for a home ticket to watch Stoke is not affordable for many that I know, and they are increasingly choosing to stay away. Those tickets are still being bought though, and I'm sure you'd agree there are a higher proportion of "day trippers" / "tourists" at home games nowadays than in years gone by?

I appreciate that is a symptom of success, and is almost inevitable with the profile of the club now. The point I am making is that some people on here don't have any issue with the rampant commercialism and de-humanising of the club because we are winning trophies, and "winning 6-0". Personally I think there needs to be a balance.

 

[mayo31]

The club should stop price hikes.

My season ticket went up 7% this year and I can't see a reason for that with the vast amounts of TV and sponsorhip cash in the game at the top level.

There should have been no rise at all, but an inflation busting 7% shows just how much the club really cares about the fans.[/]

Exactly. The club couldn't care less if they tried. It's a real shame as the club had the opportunity to go down a different avenue from the rest regarding fans. It's hard to have the same affinity with the club and I'm not the only blue by a long way who feels the same. 5 of us are knocking the SC on the head due to prices increases after this season. Will prob get to 2/3 games a season after this.

I bet out of that 5 you mention 2 or 3 will waiver and buy a SC

Personally I think there needs to be a balance.

Speaking as a traditional match going fan, If you are going to 10 games a season then I would get a s/c as even at £400 your saving money, I go to about 6 / season. The reason is I don't live in Manchester anymore and I guess that would be the main reason for many match day goers. So in the big scheme of things even if tickets were £35, that £15 saving would make little difference to my match day spend, after transport and hotel.
That's not to say a price reduction wouldn't be appreciated but it won't make any difference to my attendance.

Having said that I did the city voice pricing survey and said why I thought the prices should be reduced, and got a reply saying that that was the majority view and they would put that to the club, now nothing may come of it but I'm pretty sure no other club has bothered consulting fans whether they agree with us is another question.

It still not City's fault. The facts are that we provide the best value for money overall. If you want to have a go at someone for not letting the fans in for free I would point you in the direction of Mr Platini and FFPR which hopefully will soon be illegal.

If there is a club doing more for the fans in this country I've not seen it. Considering their fan base look at Liverpool, that is a rip-off.

You are watching probably the fourth best team in the world and are going to matches that away fans have voted the best experience in the league despite getting walloped on the pitch. It's all relative.

Its nothing to do FFP simply greed from clubs as I said ticket revenue means fuck all to clubs in the grand scheme of things. City are now know different to what we criticised united for being.

 

[John69]

Does anyone know if I have still have to pay the ridiculous £25 membership fee to get a ticket this making the £40 ticket £65

A few of us wanting to go tomorrow but not paying £65

Stoke tickets are available to the open market, games like LIverpool, Chelsea etc you as good as need the new Cityzens card (Old blue member) to secure a ticket for these games, cost is £35 for the season.

Not sure if it is 100% true but the guy sitting next to me at Liverpool game said that his seasoncard for next season was going up to over £1000, he sits on East Stand Level 2, bit steep if true.

I sit in CBL2 and received a letter from the Club last year announcing the extension of the stadium. It said that level 2 would become hospitality and, from memory, talked of prices in the region of £1,500.

When I renewed this year the fella in the ticket office said that a section of the East Stand L2 seating would be turned into hospitality first but he speculated that mine in CB would cost about £1,200 next year.

If the rumours are true, then once the L2 season card holders have relocated to avoid the price hike I doubt whether there will be very many, if any, of the £299 priced seats left in the extension for those on the waiting list who expect to get them.
