I doubt Man Utd would be particularly pushing for higher prices, they've actively tried to stop it being done by lower league sides who've drawn them in the past.

RedRock Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 1 minute ago, Bristol Rob said: Just buy another league ticket. Sure I read it was tickets purchased, not tickets used. So there might be a Christmas game that you can make. Yep. That's going to have to be the plan, though adding trip costs from Devon around Xmas time to additional ticket costs ain't going to be popular! No complaints though, sure there are many others just below thresholds with deserved claims for priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume all count towards being a priority as the site doesn't differentiate. Just a pity I didn't spread those purchases around our group as some Members are on 3 games and it's their mates I bought tickets for! Know before the semi-final, that our group we'll need to work on a better ticket purchase strategy! Hey, If it were only 3 purchases!!!!!!!!!! Just buy your tickets for Preston now. Sorted.

Andy Horsman Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Firstly, I haven't read through every post but Mark Ashton's spin with the announcement of these prices is, in my opinion, symptomatic of the malignant nature of modern football as a 'product', rather than the pastime of predominantly working class men and women. All the clichés about taking your custom elsewhere do not apply when it comes to watching your football team. I took 3 seasons away and watched Non League football when I became disillusioned with things at AG, but the 'feeling' was never there despite it being a great experience on many levels. Charging £30+ the week before Xmas in a month that already boasts 4 home league games is IN MY OPINION, a bit extortionate. I'll be there as a season ticket holder because I'll never know if I'll get to see City play Manchester United at AG in a competitive game again, in my lifetime. Given that the club is guaranteed a sell out and TV revenue plus huge receipts from the shop/bar/food outlets etc, I think somewhere around £25 would have been more reasonable. But hell that's just my take on it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED4LIFE Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Fwiw, I think the club have got priority and pricing pretty much spot on. I'm a member and paid more to watch the Leeds game than these tickets cost. It's all moot to me anyway as I will be sat in Heathrow waiting for a flight when the game is on.

bristolcitysweden Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 I can stream plastic United each weekend if I wan't but I don't. I don't appreciate it. With a few exceptions like Rashford boring plastic shit. If genuin City fans get tickets it's all good but I don't like it if plastic City "fans" can watch their beloved plastic united crap.

The price for your seat hasn't doubled. It was halved for the previous rounds. The price is in line with our existing price structure - unless you disagree that a game against Manchester is worthy of 'Gold' category status?

I accept, however, that it’s not entirely within our control. I have to say though that I disagree with decision to restrict tickets to Man Utd and put City ‘supporters in the Atyeo’ to maximise ticket s for home fans. I’m surprised that the Police are happy. Who are these additional City fans. If you deduct away fans from this season’s home crowds, then our support numbers 18-20,000 which can easily be accommodated across the rest of the stadium. Is the Atyeo going to ba fillled with plastics? I also thought we were required to give away fans 15% in the FA Cup. How are we getting round that Paying £33 to get into Hillsborough annoys me a little.. But I don't feel my £39 Lansdown ticket is a kick in the teeth, it is Man Utd and it is the quarter final of major cup competition, I wouldn't expect it to be much less.

You should be fine as nothing in the conditions claims it has to be a "6 year old ticket". Each season ticket holder is entitled to buy a ticket. It don't have to be for yourself.

I buy the tickets for me and my dad, we're both members but I actually buy them each time. Because I assign him every time will his county as 4 tickets purchased?

ChippenhamRed Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Surprised by the negative comments regarding prices. They are in line with our gold category pricing structure for one of the most attractive and popular fixtures in our recent history, against a club of huge standing in the global game. The fact that previous cup games were cheaper does not mean this game is suddenly a rip off. This game will sell out and would have sold out at higher prices than this. You can certainly argue that football in general is overpriced, particularly given it's working class roots. I'm not arguing against that broader point. But within that context I don't consider this game to be particularly excessive. Consider also how much a comparable night at the Opera, Theatre or Music event would be, watching some of the best artists in the world. You can't watch any top music act for £30-ish. How much would it cost a family of four to watch Take That, or a West End show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
