Salzburg Offer

[Dameerto]

Im meant to be on business that day but with all the snow etc i doubt it will go ahead as its oop in Newcastle but for a fiver im gonna buy one anyway and our kid can go if i cant.

I get a mental image of you in a shell suit with a scouse accent for some reason (no insult intended)

Im mad confused pal as im a stylish mofo,Our Kid is a common used phrase for your younger sibling in Manchester.

As it goes my tickets cost a tenner.

Im confused too - I think it made sense to me when I posted it, but that was after a bottle of Port...

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?

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

Yes they are and i cannot understand why. The 3 game package was buy a ticket for Juventus and Poznan and get Salzburg free. I couldn't afford to pay £50 at that time for the 3 games, i've had to go to the games separately, after Salzburg it would of cost me £55 for the 3 games, those like you who bought the 3 game package have spent £50.

No one is being cheated, no one is losing any money, if the ticket sales weren't so horribly poor then the club wouldn't need to reduce the prices.

Like i said, why are people moaning or complaining?

GG, I dont have any problems with City reducing the prices to fill the ground, nor have any problems with people like yourself buying the tickets individually. What bugs me a little is that when City announced The £50 for three matches they didnt state it was buy 2 get one free. They iirc said it was £30 for Juve, £20 for Poznan and £20 for Salzburg, hence, if you bought the block tickets, you would be saving £20. That doesnt appear to be the case now that they cant sell tickets for Salzburg. Like I said im not arsed, but City should think these things out more carefully in future

Had you down as a bit older than that LookMum.

I don't get it : (

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

Got 2 adult tix for 2p.

How did you manage that? I thought you had bought kids tickets by mistake or something.

[edgeley blue]

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 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.

Thing is Spiv, in the long run I will save loads having got shut of the evil one added to a new job means extra etra cash to spend on City ( City being the reason we finished, I might as well)

They did say that in the link provided by King Kev though

Supporters who have bought a ticket for Juventus, and have more than 60 loyalty points, can still take advantage of the ‘3 for 2’ offer – buy a ticket for Lech Poznan and get FC Salzburg free.

This link here says that it is a 3 for 2 offer http://www.mcfc.co.uk/News/Europa-Leagu ... -Wednesday - i.e get the salzburg match free.

This link here says that if you buy the Juventus and Poznan tickets you get the Salzburg game for free - http://www.mcfc.co.uk/news/europa-leagu ... -wednesday

It was all there from the start, no one has been short changed, in fact those who bought the package are still better off than those who didn't so like i said, why the complaining and criticism of the club? Would they be happy being sat in a ground with less than 20,000 people there or in a ground packed with 40,000 plus?

I didn't win the comp mate. All bets were off after that.

Fill the ground up and let's get through to the next stage. We can not complain about the cost of tickets.

[john@staustell]

Seems like Michael O'Leary is giving advice to our marketing department.

No-one can complain about the prices previously paid. This new strategy has obviously just been dreamed up, and couldn't have been foreseen. Hopefully it will make for a much better crowd. There is no master plan to snare people and then cut the price to 2p or whatever.

I'm sure the club will refund anyone in total outrage.

I feel equally sure that they won't.

I'll let you know if I get a reply from them.

Possibly not mate, but it's all standard marketing practice these days (unfortunately).
