Why Man City ignored fan requests and put season ticket prices up despite record profit

Manchester City have cited extra costs relating to inflation as the reason for raising season ticket prices.

Supporters will on average have to fork out an average of five per cent more to watch the Blues at the Etihad next season. It is the 12th time out of 14 that fans are being asked to pay more.

Pep Guardiola's side are on for a Treble and the club have also enjoyed record success off the pitch, recording new highs for revenue (£613m) and profit (£41.7m) in their 2021/22 report. However, the decision has still been made to charge supporters more and the Manchester Evening News has been told that 'rising operational costs connected to the increase in inflation' was behind the call.
