Manchester City have frozen the cost of general admission season tickets and individual match tickets for next season. The announcement was made a week after fans protested at the Etihad Stadium over ticket issues, including prices.
The club said the decision was taken after consultation with City Matters, the official fan body. At last Wednesday’s Premier League game at home to Leicester, some fans did not take their seats for the first nine minutes in protest at City making Viagogo their ninth official third-party ticketing partner.
The organisers of the protest also said it was a “last chance” for supporters to “make their feelings known in the ground” regarding prices before a City Matters meeting with the club on the topic.
City said: “Manchester City can confirm that general admission season ticket and Premier League match-by-match ticket prices will be frozen for the 2025-26 season. This follows the club’s latest consultation meeting with its elected fan engagement programme, City Matters, and reflects the positive and constructive dialogue that has taken place over recent weeks.
“The club would like to thank City Matters representatives for the feedback they provide on a range of topics relating to ticketing, and for sharing a broad range of perspectives from the fans they represent.
“The club and City Matters will continue their ongoing discussions and consultations throughout the coming months around the evolution of the fan experience on match-day in the redeveloped and expanded Etihad Stadium.”
