With the game just a few days away, tickets are still on sale! You'd have though tickets for this fixture would sell out fast.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...nchester-City-return-900-tickets-Arsenal.html City return 900 tickets. At this rate, the Stadium is going to look pretty terrible with all those gaps.
I've managed to get my gf watching Arsenal on TV and actually enjoying it and supporting Arsenal (previously she was so annoyed at how much time i spend watching football that she would hope Arsenal would lose!). But she has never seen a game of football live. So recently if it looks like there will be seats available i have a little look around at different websites and see what i can find. But for the city game at ~£100+ per ticket i can't afford to take her to this one - not so close after Christmas
The only place to buy an Arsenal ticket is Arsenal.com.Anywhere else is a tout website and you'll pay over the odds.
I have read other rumours where Citeh have returned 2,000 tickets and according to their website they have sold their allocation
Our supporters clubs have decided to boycott the game in protest at the £62 ticket price. City only took two of the three blocks and have returned one of them.I believe it's in the region of just 900 sold,many of which went to players and corporate take up Clubs are simply pricing out the working class fan and I'm pleased that our supporters clubs have made a stand We are not without blame ourselves,we charge up to £53 for away fans at the Etihad but our season tickets are very cheap in comparison with many clubs,my season ticket along with my 24 yr old sons and a season ticket parking space at the ground only set me back £905 which stacks up well against mist teams. However the cost of going away is getting out of hand
Did you boycott Chelsea a few weeks back as they have charged us £62 a ticket and I presume you were charged the same ? Am I the only one who thinks it's a touch hypocritical that Man Citys fans are campaigning against the cost of watching football when their owners first attempted transfer was a £100m bid for Kaka ? I agree that watching football has become/becoming out of reach for many genuine fans, but there has to be a relationship between rich owners buying quality players and paying them lottery winning wages a month and the sums demanded from fans, even more so with FFP. I'd be careful who you blame if I were you...
If City have returned a complete block it looks like it has now been sold to Arsenal fans.Arsenal just move the barrier in the seats and on the concourse
whatever you think about man city's transfer policy it is not their fans fault, fans should come together on the issue of ticket prices £62 is a disgrace home or away.
^^ this Amazing to me that instead of making a stand yourselves on being ripped off,you choose to blame City
It's basic supply and demand though. Good to see the citeh fans making a stand and hopefully that will force Man City to reduce their away ticket prices. I very much doubt it though. £62 is a bit outrageous by Man City to charge, when they spend how they spend.
Some fans will be paying 125 pounds for this game! The highest ticket price. That's crazy. I'd SOMEWHAT understand such prices if we were a successful team winning things, and playing top quality football week in week out, yet we do neither. We're sitting 6th in the league, 18 points behind the leaders, trophyless for 7 seasons, haven't won the league in 8 seasons and will definitely be going on 9. So I don't see how Arsenal justify such prices? They obviously have an over-inflated opinion of themselves with such prices.
I don't think it's City putting that price forward, it's Arsenal that's putting the charge of 62 pounds.
I didn't go but I'm told Arsenal fans were charged £56 at City - £6 difference is neither here nor there when you're spending £60 on diesel or train train tickets, it only makes a real difference if clubs applied a Lge Cup type charging policy of £10-£20 a seat, which of course is never going to happen. I get a bit irritated by the constant criticism of our ticket prices, the media never mention the cup tie vouchers in the season ticket price nor do they mention the £10 tickets for Lge Cup games or the fact lower catagory games have seen a massive reduction in prices this year, they focus entirely on the cheapest seat for a catagory A game that is of course much more expensive than most/all other clubs, Citys 'stand' this coming Sunday will be seen as a protest at Arsenals pricing not football in general. Chelsea charge £62, any media attention there ? It doesn't suit certain agendas to criticise other clubs, just Arsenal
Cym - they're the lower catagory games that were redued last Summer. Don't get me wrong I'm not blindly defending the club, I do think we charge extortionate prices for tickets but so do a great many other clubs. Citys fans have targeted Sundays game and Arsenal in particular and their reduced attendance will be picked up by media and we'll get the whole '£62 a ticket' uproar without mention of £10 Lge Cup tickets, £25 prem lge tickets, 7 cup tie vouchers in season ticket prices etc etc etc
