    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The announcement comes after chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak admitted that he was disappointed about how relations between fans and the club had soured over ticket measures, saying: "I'm not ok with how it played out." City fans held protests during the home matches against Leicester City in April and their final home game of the season against Bournemouth, hitting out at the club partnering with third-party ticket company Viagogo and calling on the club to freeze season ticket prices.

  • WHAT CITY FANS SAID

    Fan group City Matters added: "City Matters warmly welcome this announcement from the club, making matchday attendance more accessible and ensuring a vibrant atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium. Through our dialogue with the club, the matchday pricing reductions, season ticket price freeze, release of new season tickets, and Flexi Gold season ticket fee adjustments highlight the value of fan voices through City Matters. This announcement shows the club's commitment to City Matters and is a positive end to this season and our working relationship. City Matters look forward to continued engagement and transparency with the club to achieve our shared ambition for Manchester City's success."
