Season Ticket Renewal / Purchase Advice

Like a lot of City fans, I've been holding back renewing my season ticket. Like Joey Barton said himself, " I wouldn't pay money to watch City", and I've been feeling the same given the awful performances and serious lack of goals and overall entertainment.

However, much against my better judgment and like a masochist, I've renewed for another season - I must be barking mad !

Anyway, the reason for this post is to warn the rest of you who are thinking of either renewing season tickets before the Friday deadline or just considering buying for the first time, to watch out for the hidden "booking fee" if you pay using credit or debit cards.

Although City will claim it's carefully stated, there is no mention of this on season ticket renewal main page on their website, where all the pricing information is listed. You have to delve into the FAQs to find it which I pointed out to City's Customer Services was a tad misleading as it should be prominent on the main season ticket page with the rst of the pricing information.

Just to be clear about this, you will be charged and extra £10 for each ticket if you pay electronically, which for me would have been and extra £30.

To avoid these charges, you can pay by cheque, cash or postal order.

You can also go to the club shop and buy gift vouchers with a credit card, and use the gift vouchers to pay at the ticket office window

This allows you to pop the season cards on your plastic, without paying the fee
