How much for your derby ticket?

[Dunne's Half-Time Pint]

If I knew we'd lose then I'd take a tenner. As we could win... I wouldn't even listen to offers.

I turned down 160 sniffs today. I spent three times that watching us at Vilareal and Sporting. It would take a lot more to tempt me. I think next season's ticket paid for, may interest me. Or perhaps not. On the other hand I've let two spares for Newcastle go for face value. It seemed the right thing to do.

Can't put a price on it. Won't sell for anything that wouldn't change my life forever, and as for QPR, I can't make it due to work commitments and have promised my ticket to a mate gratis. Not a big fan of people exploiting one another when we all want the same thing.

Honestly, surprised you are the first one to say that. The whole community part of being football supporter especially in game as big as this being overlooked. If I were a season ticket holder, which I'm obviously not, I think this is the path I'd take if for some reason I couldn't go. Some people might say "it's easy for you to say" but in reality I've made lot of similar decisions in many walks of life. Principle before money every time.

Also, while grand is obviously lot of money, it's really not "ooh, that's our financial worries washed away" kind of money. Maybe you'd pay your season ticket with that or have nice holiday (although it's not like you take wife and kids to Maledives with that money, right?) and sure those are big things but look what Kevin said above about 99.

I'll never forget Paulo getting himself a press pass for the last game at Maine Road so that I could have his seat. Have always keep to the same spirit and always will.

He offered me £180 last night. I said no

NQDP. I said it a post above.
I have two Newcastle tickets in the home section that I don't need now. So face value it is and I never even thought of cashing in the demand for this game. (I'm sure I could get 150 each for them)
However I sort of read this thread as "How much would you take to sacrifice going". Which is slightly different.

It's a good thing there are people like you in the world I'm afraid I'd sell my soul for the right price.If someone offered me a lot and I needed it I think I would sell.

The way I see it is this;

I have waited all my life to see City win the league. On Monday night I have the opportunity (and ticket!) to see us take a huge step towards that goal.
If I sold my ticket after waiting all this time I would be selling out on my dream.

Exactly that.
I couldn't look myself in the mirror.
And when all those people who know I go to the game asked me about it, I'd feel deep shame.

Whatever happens, it isn't possible for us to actually win it until the last game of the season, a game that (I presume you are a ST holder) you have a ticket for. Selling your derby ticket won't stop you seeing us win the league, so you won't be selling out on your dream. The amount of money that is reported to be changing hands proves the enormous significance of the game, but it is only three points at stake (or six, if you like) when all is said and done.

That's why the rags are probably more likely to pay crazy money for a ticket. They can (almost) win the league by beating us, whereas it is just one step (although big step) in the right direction for us.

(They know) it's the last chance they'll get to see them win it as well which is probably a factor

A girl that works for me has just sold a pair in the family stand for £750 (to blues from sweeden). This has paid for her season ticket next year and bought her a new frock, I`ve told her to wait to buy a frock as the new prices wont be out till the end of the season (obviously)

I would say after winning the league and the ffp shit not looking as good as expected prices are going well up for next season. Personally i'm going to save an extra 200 because i think it might just be that bad.
