Bollocks

How Much!!!

£15 - you can't say fairer than that for probably the biggest tie of the whole competition this year. Well done City

For those not on the cup scheme, it might only be the 3rd round of the FA Cup but it's also a derby, so the prices seem reasonable. But thank god I'm on the cup scheme.

15 brick for a Derby is a bargain. Especially since its coming out of the bank 2 days before xmas.

Just as they did with the Cup tickets last season, the club are giving clear benefits to those who join the scheme at the start of the season. £15 for a home derby? No-one can complain about that at all.

tAKEN OUT THIS MORNING. WELL HAPPY.

Mine has gone out happy days,15 notes cant be sniffed at.

I joined the domestic schemes but not europe same again next year me thinks.

I've decided that I'm not paying that to subsidise all you Schemers, it would've been a lot cheaper for everyone if you fuckwanks didn't need those extra Loyalty Points. Just because I don't do Debit or Credit Cards shouldn't mean I'm penalised.

Stick it City, you're shit!


























Still love ya though ;-)

The cup scheme is super.
Nothing wrong with a nice reward for those who are going no matter what.

Very true, it is mate but it is also a way to ensure those with the money get the 1st option, basically telling those who can't pay upfront that they are 2nd Class Citizens (see what I did there).

And don't get me wrong, I have no problems in paying for tickets, just not the means to pay how City want.

£40 or £15, can't complain about that, or can you?

Possibly. But I've not got a ton of cash, I just know my Blue addiction means i can't stay away.

The money came out this morning. I'm well chuffed with £15 but charging the rest £45 is absolutely ridiculous. I don't really care if it's a derby i only paid that for the fuxking semi last year which was a derby. Ridiculous price for the game. I was expecting city to charge the shit fans around £25.

Do the rags get a say in ticket pricing atall because it really doesn't seem like something city would do.

They will as they get half the gate receipt. Think when it's been very cheap against lower league oppo we've had to have their agreement based on lower price should equal more revenue. This game will always sell out so no reason for ocean finance to accept a lower price.

Not sure how they got away with it for the cup scheme but maybe there's a way out of it on those tickets

Thought so, i remember something similar with a team last year.

Maybe that's why the club gauranteed ticket prices for cup schemer's, as they have stated it at the start as a benefit of the cup scheme there is some kind of contract with the fans or legal thing for them to point to if the oppo are being cunts. Minimising the damage done if i'm right. Which is nice of them.

So if i'm not talking complete bollocks. Well done city.

i will go to semi v liverpool and watch city v rags on tv
