Season Ticket Prices

to get back on topic, Seats at M&T Bank stadium for lower level midfield block A are on the market for $27,500 a piece so 1700 for a season ticket is cheap by comparison. ticket prices vary from $1200 (upper level) upwards, depends where you want to seat. Either way, it is a money making rip-off. Having said that, these tickets are on the club auction site so it is the seller not the club asking these prices.
In America season tickets are not what you think, you buy the license for that seat to buy and sell your seat. Once they are yours you can sell them on the open market, for individual games or for the season and off season stadium activities such as rock concerts. I think that should be happening at City. I can sell my game ticket on the open market for games I do not attend in stead of being passed around my family and friends and then trying to recoup monies, stops all the freebies and give me more control of whom has the ticket for that day or series of games.

The brochure came today. The really expensive seats get a swanky bar before the match, at half time and after the game, a couple of free drinks, cushioned seats, three free domestic cup matches, a car parking spot and a programme. I'm doubt that will satisfy mcfc_ms but it looks like he will have to move if it doesn't.

what happened to a pie and a pint at half time? As I said it is all money based! In fact, I would not want a cushioned seat, nor a couple of overpriced free drinks. i'd settle for a City win and a  parking ticket after the game. I shall be in Manchester come Tuesday so i might take a trip to Eastlands and kick up a fuss......lol

Yes there are a few 'benefits' such as the parking' bar and drinks etc but it's added things that we have no use for. Parking at the ground is shit anyway and takes ages to get away from the ground, plus we would get 3 spaces (three of us go together) so 2 would go unused. The bar thing is pointless because it will still take hours getting served, the pints and food will still be overpriced shite. We have had the padded seats for the last 3-4 years and have already paid a premium price to get them in the previous seasons. the three cup games isn't good value either considering city cap the prices to £25 each in the first rounds anyway and usually they only charge about £15 a game for those.

We were notified a few years ago about these changes but the prices they quoted were around £1250 and increased gradually over time. I don't think a £900 increase is gradual.

Just annoys me that there are still rises (not just city) when the premier league has just signed a mega tv deal which we all know will never be passed back to the fans.

I will definitely not be staying in the same seat and I'm having serious thoughts of packing it in alltogther due to other commitments. It will be a shame but I will just have to see where we get relocated to. It's not just about the seats and things it's the fact we are being priced out and over the years we have made some great friends and now that's going to be all lost. From speaking to most people around us we will all be moving seats so level 2 might be empty for the majority of games next season.

It will be interesting to see how full those areas are in the first game of the season and what price they try to sell the tickets at for individual games. They are seats with a great view and very comfortable but I notice the similar seats at the other side of the half way line are still £900. Much better value if you can get one.

better start saving then shaka brenda

still undecided if ill get one, could be second year in a row not bothering. spose its a fair to raise prices  considering we watch aguero and silva now and not barton and mpenza but like the lad said, 900 quid extra  lumped on is taking the piss a bit

wondering how long before every fucker is priced out and the stands will just be filled with the arabs wives
