Those prices are not tourist prices they are from the Barcelona site. You do get 5% off if you are one of the 100,000 members paying abot €60 a year to give you the right to buy a season pass or match day ticket.
Last I heard, he was watching rovers now. Gates going up and down is not particularly a new thing, or unique to us, but I do wonder if we have a higher proportion than most who went to the odd game years ago, left for decades, but now hint at being long term uber fans, despite nobody at all recognising them from years ago. I've spoken with a few, and they say things like "I couldn't get to games, because I was working away" as though City never play away matches. Point of mentioning it, isn't so much a criticism of these people, but to point out that for some, it's almost a fashion trend, whereas for others, it's an addiction. The addicted need no marketing, which is why we're sold an image, rather than a real experience.
Going to the Chelsea game in 1966, the Stoke game in 1971 and the Liverppol one in 1989 meant someone wanting to go to the cup final felt they were entitled to a ticket, and one for their lass who fancied a day out, as they were fans of nearly 50 years standing.
Irrelevant? Hmmmm, I don't think anyone said that. I posted about basic marketing theory: the relationship between supply and demand, and how it might be applied to football admission prices. I then posted that the theory is exactly that : A THEORY. Reality is different, and varies from club to club. The two can co-exist you know......
You should stop hanging around with these people who now claim to be uber fans, they obviously really get on your nerves, you mention them all the time.
I'm not sure if that's a serious reply or not, but if it is, what specifically do you reckon pissed them off? From what I saw, for such a small collection of people, the club bent over backwards for them.
I very rarely mention it, and I certainly wouldn't knock about with them, They don't get on my nerves in the least, if I spare much thought about them at all, I feel sorry for them having to reinvent themselves.
Possibly. I'll stick to the dictionary one. It's irrelevant anyway, I mentioned these lost souls to add to the point on marketing.
So prices are a factor in City's poor crowds but not a factor for other clubs? High prices are a factor in people staying away yet the attendances for the top division were the highest for over 60 years last season and the highest for the other 3 divisions for over 50 years. Likewise for the .FA Cup, which we are constantly told is in decline. With over 95% of PL seats sold people calling for changes are peeing into the wind. How other sports like ?RL, cricket etc would love those sort of figures.
Pricing is a factor for all clubs. Each club manages it differently and with varying degrees of success. One size does not fit all.
They're not peeing in the wind though, are they? At least not as far as the Premier League clubs are concerned, many are reducing prices for next season.
