dates for Manchester City Seasoncards for the 2009/10 season have been
deferred by three months to help ease financial pressure on fans in the
early part of the year.
Prices in all non-corporate areas of
the City of Manchester Stadium have been frozen for the coming season
(a VAT reduction of 2.5% will be applied to these tickets), and the
majority of Seasoncard holders are due to benefit from discounts
ranging from small to significant dependent on age and seat location.
Renewing
adult Seasoncard holders are due to benefit from an average 7%
reduction on last year’s prices, and further reductions will be applied
to the youth market - 16 to 21 year olds who will receive an average
17% cut in their Seasoncards. This follows on from the success of the
Club’s pioneering Live4City Under 16s Seasoncard which remains at a
very competitive £95.
Fans have previously received their
renewal packs in the first two months of the year, but Chairman
Khaldoon Al Mubarak is keen to alleviate the burden of payment so soon
after Christmas, saying:
“Our Seasoncard holders are the
cornerstone of this Club and, since our arriving at the Club, we have
listened to their feedback and their concerns on a great range of
issues.
“By pushing back the date for Seasoncard renewals we
hope to make some small difference to the supporters who follow the
team every week. We have also sought to respond to fans' concerns on
pricing and hope that the price freezes in some areas and discounts in
most areas of the ground will be welcomed.”
This is the first
time that reductions to adult Seasoncard prices have ever been applied
at Manchester City. Existing Seasoncard holders will have an exclusive
booking period in which to reserve their current seat. After that date,
seat relocation requests will be considered before any remaining
seasonal places are made available to new customers.
The Club
has also responded to fans' requests that the renewal process be made
more simple. As a consequence of this, renewal packs, which will be
mailed in early May, will contain a CD guide to assist in online
applications. Supporters should ensure their personal details,
including postal and email addresses, are up to date by visiting the My
Account section of the ticketing site www.mcfc.co.uk/ticket ahead of the mailing date for renewal packs.
Telephone and in-person renewals will still be taken for those without internet access.
