Ludicrous! 60 notes to boo the opening music.

£90 for my lad and me in Level 2 of the family stand, more than I was expecting/hoping.
I hope it is, but I'd be very surprised if this sells out now.

I'll be honest, I'm away but if I was home I'd pay the piper.

That's only level 2 on the sides, but cheapest is £45. I gave up the cup scheme last season after they did the buy one get one free for CSKA after already taking my money for the 2 tickets I wanted. Haven't bothered with any of the games this season, but was thinking I'd go back for PSG. For £45 though, think I'll make a brew, turn the telly on and watch in warmth and comfort.
Weird thing is, I rarely miss it. Risk is that others start to feel the same, then same happens for premier league. Still, I'm sure there's plenty of tourists to take my place.

Why's it not that bad? Because £45-£60 is what we should be paying or because it's what you'd expect a football club to charge? If the latter, that's everything that's wrong. If all PL games were that price, my season ticket would be double the price and I wouldn't bother, so why can they charge it for a one off game? If those on the cup scheme were getting the tickets cheaper, I wouldn't mind as it'd be my fault for not joining, but even those who went to all the group games are being told to pay it.
City will make a huge amount of money for getting out of the group, then for beating Kiev and now for these two games, win or lose. The money won't come from the fans, but from sponsorship, corporate tickets, TV and UEFA prize money.
With the prices they're charging, there will be about 40,000 in the ground and loads of empty seats on TV. Instead, celebrate how far we've come, charge a reasonable price, have a full house and maybe enough atmosphere to get us through the tie.

Our ticketing is still in the North Stand era. Muppets, 10,000 empty seats a few days ago and they decide to bump it up, you could not make it up.

We have enough money we could let everyone in for twenty quid. It really is as simple at that. Yes, it might be the going rate charged by other clubs. We are not other clubs. We could and should be better than the rest

For the final people can appreciate but any lesser round should be priced reasonably. Should be that way as a thank you to the loyal fans who went home and away in the group stages. Not bump it up so fans with loyalty cannot afford it and have tourists sitting in their seats.
Again though you go against the grain on what everyone else thinks just cause you know you will get some attention. Did mummy and daddy nit love you as a child or something?
I haven't a fecking clue what I'm doing! Gillie come back man I want my sig back. As the Photobucket thingy gone?

If we're a couple of goals down after the first leg I predict a half-empty stadium. Ludicrous pricing but shows where we are headed as a club.

Ditto
Was gonna come up for QF but am in Spain.
With the cost of a trip to Manchester £40 or £60 is neither here nor there to be honest

In fact and it is fact! Had WW posted 60 notes for the QF is a good price and everyone else agreed you would have posted that it's a rip off by City. Anything to get folks backs up!

£60 is about the same as city64 drops on estrella and tapas before a match....
