Amid growing disgruntlement among the club's fanbase, Manchester City announced on Wednesday that they are freezing ticket prices for the 2025-26 season.
City said the price freeze related to general-admission season tickets and match-by-match tickets for Premier League games and came after a consultation meeting with a fan engagement group.
Supporters stayed in the concourses inside the Etihad Stadium for the first nine minutes of the Premier League game against Leicester last week to protest against the club's new partnership with a third-party ticket resale platform.
That came after seven City fans groups sent an open letter to the club complaining about the rise in ticket prices in recent seasons and the prospect of local fans being frozen out of attending games.
In a statement, City said "positive and constructive dialogue" has taken place over recent weeks with City Matters, the club's elected fan engagement program.
"The club would like to thank City Matters representatives for the feedback they provide on a range of topics relating to ticketing," City said, "and for sharing a broad range of perspectives from the fans they represent."
