Poor you

So do I. Don't agree with everything the Allams have done, but the past 8 years have been the best in City's history and think the City benefits more when any of our teams are successful.

Agree that a one month's notice period is risky. Would have thought a monthly direct debit scheme were you in affect pay for your season ticket in advance of all the games being played would be a more balanced approach.

Announced today that plans for the membership scheme are now on hold.

Think it's fair to say that it ain't been well received.

The general principles are good - allows costs to be spread over a longer period. An FC pass for decent seats would be £20 per month. Suddenly makes it look more affordable to more people. City have got their pricing wrong and the lack of child prices is also an issue.

Wouldn't work for FC unless people signed up for a minimum of 12 months with (say) a 2-3 month notice period. One months notice for city is a risky strategy - although after initial memberships, people rejoining have to pay a fee of around £50.

It works in the NBA, but they also have the ability to resell tickets via stub hub or the like for when they can't go to games - that is required given the vast numbers of games each week in the NBA.

A non refundable £50 deposit then the rest payable over 5 or 6 months with final payment 4 months before season end would be safer/less risky and still make it easier to budget for.
I know things are tight for some but less than 2 pints of beer a week equates to a season ticket for us.
