Bit unfair to say that - i would love to see man city away but can I afford £50 for the ticket, £80 for the train and £40 for spends on the 18th January?

If I had known that there would be tickets left and available for me to buy two days before the game I would have booked a coach for half the train price & made sure I had money left for tickets and spends - such is life and I will get over it

Doesn't make me or anyone else a part time fan

Some of the Premier League games like Man City/Man United are well over priced.

Its not just the cash, many fans are shift workers and we have to work weekends, we have to use holidays and favours just to get to home games and get value out of our season tickets.Would love to go but looks like only 3 away games for me till end of season if i can get tickets will be Bolton, everton and sunderland. :ayatollah:

Cant afford man city/ united. Near £90 for me and my boy, so I'll go to Bolton instead for £20. Win lose or draw I'll always be there if I got the money.

Spot On! My so and I can get two tickets for Bolton and cover at least half of the petrol through the cost of tickets alone for Man City. Was desperate to go to be honest, as was my son, but had to make the wise choice due to the cost of tickets. We did Arsenal and are doing Bolton but Man City is a step too far and to be honest a bit of a joke!

Tell him to pay for our tickets and arrange our cover in work and we will all be happy to go.

If he's not willing to do that then stop f*cking moaning.

It's nothing to do with him how people spend there money.

If this game would of been in the first 10/12 matches it would of been a sell out, IMO

If it hadnt been one of the most expensive games, played midway through January & made available sooner so people could get time off work and make travel arrangements - it would probably have sold out.

Dont make this out to be a bigger thing than it actually is.

Its pathetic that the premier league gave us 3 of the glamour away games in the same month, I'd love to go to Man City tomorrow but having already done Arsenal and doing Man Utd, Bolton and Swansea coming up I simply can't afford another 100+ day out

Re: Just a reminder from Vince Alm this morning

Fri Jan 17, 2014 11:26 am

£80 for me and my nipper to watch a game of football. Another £40 for the coach= £120.... Its about priorities

Re: Just a reminder from Vince Alm this morning

Fri Jan 17, 2014 11:27 am

Would love to go but unfortunately like many others I'm starting to get priced out of a working class game , £50 for a match ticket and then there's the cost of travel , food, few ales ect.
Something needs to be done about the prices clubs charge not as if they getting zilch from the tv company's

these two away games should be subsidised out of the money given by the EPL..

the police should be providing the transport for Swansea,as its them that want the bubble trip

very good point

harsh to call people not going part time fans , the ones that book with the supporters club then pull out at the last minute without a genuine excuse are the ones that abuse should be aimed at

It was always going to be one of the most expensive away games, they are one of the Top teams in the Premiership :roll:, and what am I making out to be bigger than it actually is, I stated a fact.

Re: Just a reminder from Vince Alm this morning

I'm complaining about the Manchester prices, I'm complaining about the Swansea price and I complained at the Chelsea price. I'm doing every game this season, but that doesn't take away the fact that they're all robbing bastards. This season is financially killing me! I will have to cut back severely next season, which is a shame as I would love to be able to afford to continuously go to any game I can, but the Premiership prices doesn't allow that and it's unacceptable. People will say it's just "modern football" and these are the prices you pay now. It's not modern football, it's Premiership football which is a complete rip off compared to the continent!

When you have Arsenal charging £82 for a ticket against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, a quid more expensive than a Bayern Munich season ticket at £81, it makes you wonder why the Premiership could not at least try to look after the fans who are the heart and soul of every football club and keep the league going. Stoke giving free transport to their fans for every away game this season is a superb gesture which every club should take note of. Not every football fan is a successful, rich businessman. The majority of football fans are normal people in normal jobs who have to budget wisely to take care of their homes, families etc. It's a shame the fans get punished.
