ladysaint Posted 7 March, 2014 Posted 7 March, 2014 £47 for a televised game and early KO, get the feeling Man City dont like us very much always seem to price our tickets high. If I remember correctly last season was £52 for a televised game so at least the price is going in the right direction.
the saint in winchester Posted 7 March, 2014 Posted 7 March, 2014 Sheik Mansour is keen to recoup some of his outlay from the fans. Glad its on TV!!!
View From The Top Posted 7 March, 2014 Posted 7 March, 2014 I'm an hour away from Manc but there is no way on gods planet that I'll be paying £47 for me and £28 for an 11yo nipper. F**k that.
alehouseboys Posted 7 March, 2014 Posted 7 March, 2014 That is a crazy price. Add the ticket tax and it's back up to £50. I remeber them playing QPR in their next home game after us last season and they charged them something like £25 or £30. They don't like us do they?
Saint Garrett Posted 7 March, 2014 Posted 7 March, 2014 Wtf?!? Why so much? That's a disgrace. Unfortunately I've already decided I'm going and making a weekend out of it so just going to have to grin and bear it.

Berkshire Saint Posted 8 March, 2014 Posted 8 March, 2014 Wtf?!? Why so much? That's a disgrace. Unfortunately I've already decided I'm going and making a weekend out of it so just going to have to grin and bear it. Same. Have already booked my train tickets up and Man City is the last of the 20 Prem grounds for me to visit! Their prices are ridiculous when you consider their fans 'protest' (also known as not selling your allocation) about the Arsenal away prices. I've got a mate who's a season ticket holder at City and they're much cheaper than ours, I guess this is how they try and make that money up.
Saint Garrett Posted 8 March, 2014 Posted 8 March, 2014 Yeah. That's farcical. I could just about accept £50 last year, first game in season, first game since champions. This season that's a joke though.

Friend of mine has had his 4STs at City next season confirmed. £300 per adult & £100 per kid in the family stand.
Sour Mash Posted 8 March, 2014 Posted 8 March, 2014 (edited) Friend of mine has had his 4STs at City next season confirmed. £300 per adult & £100 per kid in the family stand. That's a key part of the scam. Sell equivalent home seats out at cheap season ticket rates, then rape away fans on a match, by match basis. You keep your core support really happy and make a good chunk of money back elsewhere. Does anyone know what is happening with the upper tier of the usual away section for this game? How much they're selling tickets for there? Can't see to many City fans being keen to pay £50 for this with it being on tv and them having plenty of other games to shell out for. Well at least it's cheaper than last year Edited 9 March, 2014 by Sour Mash

View From The Top Posted 8 March, 2014 Posted 8 March, 2014 It is a rip off, but no different to Chelsea and Man Utd. I didn't go to them on principal either.
ericb Posted 10 March, 2014 Posted 10 March, 2014 I didn't go to them on principal either. There's a few that are pushing into that category now, Spurs is very close to being the same and if West Ham continue at the same increase it won't be too long before i refuse to get a ticket to theirs too. My personal limit (outside of cup semi finals/finals) is around the £40 mark.

My personal limit (outside of cup semi finals/finals) is around the £40 mark. Probably approaching about half of the Premier League charging £40+ for a ticket, even we do for some tickets for some games. We're actually releatively lucky,as those following the top 6 get charged Category A prices everywhere. Only way to stop it is if people stop paying for it, but easier said than done and London, the Manc and Scouse clubs, all seem to have a plentiful supply of people that will pay that if asked.
rick1976.4.38 Posted 10 March, 2014 Posted 10 March, 2014 if you've pre booked your train just go to a pub in manchester and watch, if you dont want to pay the ticket price. what you would have spent on the ticket,blow on booze happy days games aren't going to get any cheaper,modern football,not for the working man anymore

My personal limit (outside of cup semi finals/finals) is around the £40 mark. We didn't do WHU either as they were again far too expensive. My lad and I will have done less than 10 games this season and I doubt it will be higher next year.
alehouseboys Posted 12 March, 2014 Posted 12 March, 2014 We only have the lower stand this year Most clubs only take the lower tier, around 1,700 tickets, probably all we'd have taken even if it wasn't on TV and early kick-off oop north. Will be more than enough all things considered.
Saint Garrett Posted 12 March, 2014 Posted 12 March, 2014 Just been chatting to a Man City mate. He said that home tickets are somewhere between £37-£45 depending on where you sit. Also said the home tickets were £47 for Barcelona at home. Shows how ridiculous those prices are for a game vs Southampton at Saturday lunchtime on TV. This is the sort of game which the club should be using their "fund" to help the fans make it more affordable.
ladysaint Posted 12 March, 2014 Author Posted 12 March, 2014 But why are they penalising us, last season they did the same, £52 for a game live on TV and then their next home game against QPR was £25. I dont understand why we cant charge each team the same as they charge us when we play them away.
stevegrant Posted 12 March, 2014 Posted 12 March, 2014 Fulham are being charged £37 for their game up there, two weeks before ours and a Saturday 3pm kick-off.
Berkshire Saint Posted 12 March, 2014 Posted 12 March, 2014 Spoke to a Palace mate on Saturday and they only paid £37 as well.
LGTL Posted 12 March, 2014 Posted 12 March, 2014 Didn't we sue them a few years ago for our allocation at the last game of Maine Road? Wouldn't surprise me if that had something to do with it.
saints_is_the_south Posted 12 March, 2014 Posted 12 March, 2014 Has anybody received their tickets but not had any money taken by the club? Ordered Monday, tickets arrived today but no money debited from my card. Odd.
alehouseboys Posted 12 March, 2014 Posted 12 March, 2014 Has anybody received their tickets but not had any money taken by the club? Ordered Monday, tickets arrived today but no money debited from my card. Odd. Quick, order another 1,698 and we can all go for free!
Orange Posted 16 March, 2014 Posted 16 March, 2014 This is the when there really should be a boycott. Only then will they start to get the message. Although its better than nothing I suppose, those at the top aren't going to care about pretty banners if people are still parting with this obscene amount of money to stand on some concrete and watch football for 90 minutes.

Orange Posted 16 March, 2014 Posted 16 March, 2014 What would you know? You're the other side of the world pr*ck. Hi Griffo. Which part of that dyou not agree with though?
Griffo Posted 16 March, 2014 Posted 16 March, 2014 Hi Griffo. Which part of that dyou not agree with though? None of it. Just wanted to abuse you. All the best.
Saint Garrett Posted 31 March, 2014 Posted 31 March, 2014 Anywhere round the ground to drink which will be open Saturday? Obviously bit of an early one this one!
