I thought it was a fiver for adults? Unless I've got completely confused?

I want the ground to be as full as possible and I am happy that in todays world of austerity that City have reduced the prices, however when I purchased the 3 game ticket for £50, I was led to believe that by doing so, I was getting a discount of £20 for loyally paying up front. At the time the club announced that it was £30 for Juventus, £20 for Poznan and £20 for Saltzburg, therfore I thought it was a bargain. It now appears for paying up front gives you nothing.

Ex-fuclin-actly!!

The club have tricked us into buying tickets for all three games at once by falsely advertising the prices of the individual games.

I'm pretty sure what they have done is illegal.

Why are you complaining? Your not out of pocket, you're still £5 better off than me. I have to pay £5 for this game, you get it for FREE!!!

Not like that because you can play on the playstation as soon as you get it, so you pay a premium for getting it early, with a match everyone gets exactly the same experience an time at the game.

That said I thought Europa tickets were £20 each for the two games but apparently the first one was £30

The club advertised the £50 'deal' [urlnp=http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Tickets-and-Travel/2010/October/Europa-League-ticket-news]HERE[/urlnp]

As you will see, when trying to entice us into buying the tickets for all 3 games at once, they advertised that the Salzburg tickets would be £20, therefore making the £50 deal seem more attractive than it really was. Had they been honest and told us that the tickets for the Salzburg game would actually be £5, rather than £20, then many of us might not have bothered to part with our hard earned cash all in one go.

I can understand that some of you will be feeling pretty smug about getting the tickets for this game cheap but surely you can see that those of us who forked out weeks ago under false pretences are feeling a bit cheated?

Is it like paying the best stripper first so you get the cream off her tits first?


I didnt get any loyalty points for buying a cheap ticket.

Well the way I originally looked at it, I parted with my money after seeing an advert for the fittest bird ever, only to find out she is actually a tranny and has bummed me in the arse.

I'd ask for my entrance fee back then pal.

Oh and go and get an STI test.

cheers kk :0(

What has annoyed me about it is that I paid £50 quid up front, money I didnt have at the time due to being inbetween wives and jobs. Had I just bought the Juventus ticket and waited for special offers it would have only cost me an extra quid. Now, i have got rid of the wife and gained employment so it seems immaterial, but at the time of purchase that extra £20 would have gone a long way. ie I could have had a few pints against Juventus instead of having to walk 4 miles there and 4 miles back bloody sober.

Btw, good luck to all those that have got tickets for a quid or whatever, let fill the ground and roar the blues on, which lets face it is what we all want

I can't understand what you are complaining about king kev. Are you complaining that you were forced to go to one of the games by having to buy all tickets in one go??

You're getting this game for free, everyone else it costs a fiver. I cannot for the life of me see why people are complaining, except those who have already bought Salzburg tickets for £20 who i'm sure will be refunded £15.

GG, are people moaning? we are just pointing out that we forked out £50 for block tickets when it now seems there was no need as it is now the same price had we bought them individually. As I said earlier I couldnt really afford £50 at the time, but knowing I was gonna go to all three thought it was a good deal. I am happy for all who have got them cheap because I want a full(ish) ground, just that the extra £20 I paid at the time was worth a lot more to me than it does now

I bought my wife a ticket but in hindsight i wish i had of got rid of my wife and got a job instead but hey we need a full crowd to roar us on to the next stage.
