Unfortunately the only thing that would work is no one went to watch but that wont happen. As I was told by a marketing consultant, the objective of marketing is to squeeze the customer by the throat until he can't breathe, then you can let off the pressure. Football fans are still breathing while the clubs are still trying to choke us.
Would Derby be charging Utd fans same amount if the game was at Pride Park compared to let's say if you had drew AFC Wimbledon or somebody like that?
Theres your answer. They wouldn't. Can't have it both ways boys. Your club would raise prices for a big boy at home compared to a league two minnow and you know it.
So how much would you charge Man City fans for an FA Cup match. £100?

I understand that in the last cup game against Manur, we charged £25. However, I am still trying to verify that.
Your posting however does damn us with faint praise.
I certainly won’t now be going. Scandalous - they FA shouldn’t allow it?
How much are Utd fans being charged (apologies if this has been mentioned)?

Depends where you are and if you’re a member. Our section is £47 for members (£42 with your season card).
We are being charged £13 by Leicester for the quarter final in a couple of weeks
Far bigger game and they didn’t feel the need to rip anyone off,full house sold out
The last time we played Man U in the cup the two teams agreed the price between them, hence it was expensive because Man U wanted a higher price. Now the FA changed the rules so the home team sets the price. Had it been at Derby the tickets would have been cheaper, we would be sat in a better stadium with a better view and a better match experience. That is because Derby care about their supporters whereas the Glazers care about their bank balance.
When did you last play "Man U" in the cup, just out of interest?
Same stage, two seasons ago at home lost 3-1.
Do your own web search mate. We’ve got better things to do.

Derby must have been happy with the price, otherwise the FA would have stepped in and set the price.
Derby were happy to charge their fans £30-£40 for that game.

Don't think we were, we only charged that much because Man U had a say. As I said before the Glazers are just greedy and I don't think you will find a genuine Man U fan who would disagree with that.
Just been on Radio Derby: DCFC had no say, part or influence whatsoever in the price.
It's a pity that a lot will cough-up, instead of giving then the bird and staying away.
It would probably be the same at PP if we were in the Prem though, (unless Mel suddenly becomes a philanthropist)?
Mel is philanthropic at times. I have a scarf to prove it and if we achieve promotion I can watch all the home games for free next season.

note the quote:
".............and what was intended as a way to keep ticket prices reasonable has resulted in exactly the opposite, giving home clubs a licence to increase prices without question. "
It gets better................. what about this for a corker:
"For the Glazers and Manchester United, of course, it’s a nice little earner, since they’ve found an outrageous way to break the link between the attractiveness of the match and the ticket price charged for it. This is their infamous ‘Automatic Cup Scheme’ (ACS), under which all season ticket holders are obliged to buy a ticket for all home cup ties in domestic and European competitions, whether they want to attend the game or not. This ensures that Old Trafford will be full or just about full – or, more accurately, ‘sold out’ or just about sold out – whatever the price, with every adult season ticket holder being charged for a ticket whether they turn up or not. If they don’t purchase a ticket, their season ticket will be suspended for a subsequent league match."
Are they all in it together Scouse?
According to those on here, it is supply and demand. So that makes it OK.
I just hope we get more reasonable pricing in the 4th Round
We haven't done all that well against teams that park the bus.
Hopefully we will draw City in Round 4. They seem so much more classy in every respect.

The problem with drawing City next would be that they don't need to 'concentrate on the league' any longer and so would likely play a full-strength side against us.
