When Is The Club Going To Stop Selling Tickets In The Home End To Away Fans?

[fathellensbellend]

Sadly many of our fans can only afford odd games, hardly surprising when the best part of 80 quid for spurs at home, all becoming an expensive turn off

Must’ve been 100+ Feyenoord at the back of E3 tonight. Openly cheering and singing. Embarrassing by MCFC

Same in 212 & 213.
Ridiculous!

Plenty round me in 315, a few of them went up when they equalised, but they were pretty quiet other than that. It did t look like they had sold the full allocation, because the last few rows were completely empty

It’s really easy when these tickets are sold via agencies, this is the main problem, a membership isn’t even required. Buy them up at free will, then group up when you’re in the ground. It wouldn’t have been hard to find an area to sit tonight unlike a lot of Champions League matches.

They took the piss if we’re honest, that was hard to watch.

 

[Prophet of Doom]

I wonder what the new Ticket Compliance man was doing whilst half of Rotterdam was in the home end tonight?

No doubt clamping down hard on blues trying to get through the turnstile with a concession ticket or other such misdemeanours.

Remember when the club was staffed by blues that were on our side.

Never mind - I’m sure there will be plenty of LFC fans in the city end on Sunday to make us even angrier.

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

I’m usually not arsed about away fans in our end, but the 4 Feyenoord fans near me were the single most annoying cunts I’ve ever been near at a football match, and that’s saying something.

Chanting ‘come on City’ and ‘this is a library’ for 90 minutes, live-streaming and chanting directly to the stewards. Obviously they did fuck all.

Was like that scene in Team America where the UN weapons inspector told Kim Jong Il that they would write him a letter about how upset they are.

City are bloody stupid. If they’d priced Spurs fairly, then people might have had enough money spare to buy a ticket for tonight n’all.

But, no, it was £71-73 for Spurs and then about 9,000 empty seats tonight.

They never learn our boardroom. They’re so disconnected from the fanbase it’s ridiculous.

Constant Season Ticket price rises sees fans come out of the Cup Schemes because they can’t justify the ST price rises year after year (most years above the rate of inflation, one year inflation was 1% and ST prices went up 12%!) so they ditch the CL Scheme.

Everything is just too expensive at City.

I had a look at the full adult prices at the PL grounds at the weekend.
For full adult prices (normal tickets), it was:
Leicester v Chelsea £46-72
Bournemouth v Brighton £37-52
Villa v Palace £55-78
Fulham v Wolves £37-85
City v Spurs £71-73

Absolutely no flexibility at all with City’s prices. It was £71 on the very back row of SSL3 and £73 near-ish the halfway line in CBL1. Yet people could pick up tickets for as low as £46 or £37 at some other PL grounds. Leicester, Bournemouth, Villa, Fulham and City fans were all doing is the same thing as each other - just watching the team we support play football - so why such a disparity in prices?

Then the CL pricing this season… bearing in mind that there’s an extra home game to pay for in the League Phase compared to previous Group Stages.
2022-23 Group Stage prices: Dortmund £25, Copenhagen £22, Sevilla £22 = £69
2023-24 Group Stage prices: Belgrade £27, Young Boys £27, Leipzig £27 = £81
2024-25 League Phase prices: Inter £52, Sparta Praha £30, Feyenoord £30, Brugge £30 = £142

That Inter price (the price of the previous two years of quarter and semi final prices), came in a week where we also had Watford at home in the EFL Cup and Wolves away in the PL to pay for.

Even tonight’s £30 ticket seems a good price from the outside (especially compared to the disgrace that Villa’s pricing has been for the CL), but it’s 11% more expensive than all three of last season’s Group Stage games, 20% more expensive than the 2022-23 Group Stage game against Dortmund and 36% more expensive than the 2022-23 Group Stage games against Copenhagen and Sevilla.

Where’s such a jump in prices come from?

No wonder Blues don’t turn up for nights like tonight. It’s a constant kick in the teeth for us - ‘thank you for your tremendous support’, now give us more of your money, no more, no more…

How do they expect families to shell out those prices for Spurs and then expect them to also then pay for another game in the same week?

And I’m sick to death of sitting with fans of the opposition in our stands. Every week, the attendee to my left is a different foreign fan and half the time they’re a fan of the opposition we’re playing against. Bored of it me, it’s fucking shit.

City, realise your a football club from a city called Manchester. Do some outreaching around the city, get in touch with lapsed fans you’ve priced out through pure greed, get some local fans in the ground, make some initiatives like a CL League Phase bundle where if they commit to all four home games they get the discount the Cup Scheme does.

The Etihad isn’t some fucking theme park for knobheads who support the team we’re playing against to come and take the fucking piss. The stadium should be full of City fans, and we have more than enough City fans to even fill the expanded 62,000 Etihad from next year onwards every week with just fans from the local area. But you’re neglecting that and are whoring yourself out like a cheap prozzie. Sort it the fuck out City I’m fucking sick of this shit.

Fucking joke tonight. Gangs of school kids wearing every top through the premier league. Squealing when they scored in the East stand.

City, realise your a football club from a city called Manchester. Do some outreaching around the city, get into schools and local amateur football clubs, get in touch with lapsed fans you’ve priced out through pure greed, get some local fans in the ground.

They were school kids who don't support City mostly. Fucking joke.
