The average Manchester worker has to graft for almost six hours in order to buy a match ticket for Manchester City, as the club’s manager slams the crowd for being “silent for 45 minutes.”
Tickets for City’s top Premier League matches are priced between £68 and £85 for adults. They’re some of the most expensive match tickets in the country. However, the average hourly wage in Manchester stands at £14.42, according to the latest government figures.
It means the average person has to work between 4.7 and 5.9 hours in order to afford a ticket. And that’s not taking tax into account. No other club asks its local population to work as long in order to buy the top-priced match tickets.
