fill the stadium up, the atmosphere was so shit, if they charged £10 for everybody then surely the stadium would be full, 44-000 fans in the stadium would have made a massive difference, why cant city see this and do something about it,
football is also a business. adult tickets for today were only £22 - how much cheaper can you expect the club to price this? and yes stoke also have to agree on pricing and my info tells me that they wouldn't go any lower for today as it would then force them to charge the same for any replay - which is exactly where we are.
i think the club did a great job charging lower prices for the carling cup games to boost attendance but this cannot expect to continue...
most city fans need to expect to be paying higher prices in future than has historically been the case - we can't expect the owner to spend hundreds of millions on players and then charge buttons for tickets. it just doesn't make sense. and once the team is successful, as it surely will be, there will be waiting lists for season tickets etc and the stadium will be full every week. i think the club will always keep some lower priced tickets available to ensure people are not priced out but the majority of prices must be expected to increase over time.
