Manchester City Raise Disabled Season Tickets From £345 To £975
Disabled supporters of current Premier League champions Manchester City say they are “disgusted” with the club after announcing a monstrous 283% rise – able bodied fans also take a hit from anywhere between £870 to £1, 700.
City are opening a new stand this summer which will increase its capacity to 55,000 to the dismay of lifelong Blues supporter John Kenny, who has been a season ticket holder for 3o years:
John, from Brooklands, said: “I’m in a real quandary.”
“We had an agreement with the club that prices would be fixed but that seems to have been disregarded without much debate.
“I like where I sit – I have my carer and my two sons sat near me and I know all the people around me as well.
“But £900 is just such a lot to pay. I won’t get a padded seat because I’m in a wheelchair and I already have parking so it’s a lot of money to pay for a programme.
“Able-bodied supporters who have to move have thousands of seats to choose from but we have very limited options.”
Manchester City Disabled Supporter’s Association released a strongly worded statement reiterating that they are “disgusted” in the attitude of the Manchester City directors. And it would be hard to argue against them. Is this a case of supply and demand or just simply daylight robbery? We’re calling exploitation on this one. Bring back Shaun Goater!
