One of the richest clubs in europe charging us £47 a ticket. Is'nt modern football great sometimes?
-
Better value for money than most games considering some decent football will probably be played
-
£47 to watch a league game doesn't represent value for money, regardless of which superstars are in the team. It's disgraceful. I refused to go to Chelsea earlier this season for the same reason.
-
Bearing in mind we don't even know for sure when it's going to be played yet, I can't see them shifting too many just yet.
-
£47 to be tortured, May as well go down the blues it'll be cheaper
-
Anything over £25 for a game is a rip-off so far as I'm concerned, but having paid £35 to watch a midweek away game at Cardiff when it's live on tele I'm probably the kind of idiot who deserves to be ripped off!
I suppose if you're a City fan though and are finding yourself getting charged the earth at every away game (£50 at Norwich on Saturday) because home clubs want to maximise their income when the top teams visit, you'd have little sympathy when it happens the other way round. We charged them £41 earlier this season, which is also bit steep.
-
U can probably get a ticket for £20 on viagogo for that game..
-
Brave/foolish people who go to this one.
-
Ridiculous. We couldn't afford Liverpool away (£45) which we wanted to go to and now this. 1 adult and 1 child costs £73. Add another child and you've got over £100. I don't care who it is we're playing, this is ridiculous. I see Cardiff away is something like £35 - how are we meant to keep going? In fact, as a thank you for all of our support I can't see why Villa don't offer reductions, like Bayern Munich are for all their fans going to Arsenal.

Because Bayern are owned by their fans.
-
I'd pay £47 to go back to Maine Road, stand on the benches in the Platt Lane Stand, drink Greenhalls Bitter from that hut out the back then watch all the Asian Jewellers bring their shutters down in a panic as it began to kick off in Rusholme.
-
We always get hammered there even when they were shite under Pearce.
Fair play to anyone going as ever.
I'm actually going to Man City- Chelsea on Saturday, there's quite a few 27.50 tickets floating about which is decent.

If we were getting as much just for playing in that game as Bayern are, perhaps we would.

Us and Swansea have struck a deal for later on this season where all adult tickets are £25 at their place. I think one or two other clubs have done something similar. We're also laying on ten free coaches for the Man City game.
-
We all moan but we all oil the cogs.

They're already offering loads of free coaches to various games and have come to a mutual agreement with some clubs to keep prices respectable. It's unfair to expect the club to make a massive loss every away league game just because our opponents are greedy bastards.
Unfortunately UEFA's ludicrous "Financial Fair Play" shite is only going to make ticket prices increase ever more as clubs look to further boost revenue to spend stratospheric amounts money on players.
-
I live in Manchester City Centre, and go to 90% of aways. But I'm not doing this.
The away area starts below ground level. You're either down the front and can't see, or have a restricted view from the back.
£47.00 to watch us, let's face it. More than likely get a hide in is ridiculous.
I phoned a supplier, who has been offering "Corporate hospitality" for a while, so took him up on his offer of a freebie.
-
Hoping to pick up some cheap tickets with the home fans courtesy of a mate!
-
£47 is a piss take. Fair play to those going but it's too much for me this time round. The sooner football drags itself back to reality the better, but I won't hold my breath. No wonder pubs are packed with people watching games.
-
Match has been postponed due to the FA Cup.
-

Do you have to be a registered city fan though ?
-
If you have used Viagogo to buy Villa tickets, you'd probably need to get someone to register a new account in their name and buy the ticket. Not that i'd recommend doing such a thing of course.
-
Im registered to sell Villa tickets on viagogo but have had no trouble buying tickets for home ends in the past. Unless things have changed since last season any checks that are made dont seem to be very rigorous.

They're taking their time announcing a new date aye they?

Running scared! Just give us the 3 points now!!!

Thursday?

7th. Crap phones.

Is it still £47, even though it's a Wednesday game??
-

Probably. One i'll give a miss to I think.
-
Is there any free coach travel for this game?
-
How come it isn't being play in April given Man. City are now out of FA cup and CL? Surely there must be a free mid week in there?
So we'll end with away games at Man. City and Spurs then, hopefully we'll be mathematically safe by then!
-
We started with Arsenal and Chelsea away and finish with Mancity and Spurs away. That frames it nicely.
-
Wednesday 7 May at 7.45pm live on Sky!

Them being out of the Chumps League doesn't matter if Sky want to show it on TV.
I don't think that Sky can show live PL games during Chumps weeks
-
Does this mean I qualify as ITK?

Yes. 100% GOSPEL.

This will be one of those strange night games where its still light right up until the final whistle. They always remind me of friendlies.
-

It may be that neither side has anything to play for by that time anyway.

Norwich, who last won away when Adam was a lad, won at Man Citeh at the fag end of last season. Spurs are no great shakes and will have nothing to play for.

They have 2 other games that had to be rearranged before ours and you cant play prem league games on the same night as "non-champions" league games........
-
They can still shove their £47 up their Manc arses
-
Season will be done and dusted by then,rather play them then, than last week.

I think they're playing the Man. United game next week.
Yeah I know there's the ridiculous rule that you can't play prem games anymore on champions league night but it's not like the champions league is on every week between now and may, there will be gaps.
That said I do agree it's more likely we'll pick up a result there as they'll probably be still trying to chase down Chelsea and I reckon the pressure will get to City now.

Champs League next week, then they play Man Utd the following midweek, then the next two midweeks are CL QF nights, then they play Sunderland (Wed 16 April), then it's CL SFs on 22nd/23rd and 29th/30th. Then us the midweek after that - so no there weren't any other options.
Sunderland-Albion is also on Weds 7th May, which could have far more riding on it than our game!

One of the richest clubs in europe charging us £47 a ticket. Is'nt modern football great sometimes?
We're being charged £56 for an adult ticket.
That's a game I'll now be boycotting and I hope the rest of our fanbase follow suit.
Disgraceful for a game on a bank holiday Monday which has also been chosen for TV coverage.

Welcome to modern football. Chelsea have been charging that for years. To be fair, a good chunk of the reason Stoke only brought about 500 was the fact we charged them almost £40 for a Sunday game which was on TV.

We charged them £39. Which is cheaper any adult seat for home fans at the Britannia for any A* category game.

They get free travel as well for every game so £40 for ticket and travel really isn't bad. They brought 1600 which wasn't great considering.
Back on topic, £56 is a disgrace, does than mean Baggies are now a higher category than us at some grounds? Good and bad in equal measure if so.
-
They brought about 1300, which is crap considering it was free travel and how close it is to us.
And also back on topic, I reckon any away fan that pays £50+ to sit in the away end at a league game is a bit of a loon. As long as people keep paying it, clubs will keep charging it.

Or the attitude of that lad next to us at the SCG. "Charge them what they charge us".
-
Tickets should be capped at £30. It's getting past a joke now. Old, tired story but my mate was at Dortmund v Borussia M last week...20 euros a ticket which included his 45 minute train journey, why can't we come close?

Man City are actually charging us more than they charged Man United, Arsenal and Barcelona.

God only knows.
Their excuse was that they're charging the home fans the same - when we pressed for answers on why the difference in price between the likes of Fulham, Villa and ourselves they never replied.
They know what you are.
;D
Love you, Dave.

They have two home (including us) and away games after.

I've brought tickets in the home end from viagogo £23.00. Used a lad at works Citeh Membership card.
-
47 sheets? Is it any wonder fans would rather go the pub and watch it on a foreign channel?
-
Is this game live on Sky Sports ?
-
Yes
