Is the club defrauding loyal supporters?

When you consider it, Google etc are complicit in this. I just put in Brighton tickets and then Man City tickets. The club's barely appear in the searches but all the tickets resale sites come up first. Obviously paying to appear higher in searches.

Yes probably one of the reasons they have to charge so much for tickets, Wish the club would get a grip on their tickets

Presumably ticketing platforms pay for SEO

I am no expert but I have worked for a couple of companies that have people focus on how to appear first in google searches / google adds etc (often subcontractors)

Prior to this current blip at Citeh it must have become quite monotonous for fans, turning up at the Etihad every home game, in all weathers, in countless competitions, over a number of years, just expecting to win regardless of who you were playing against -

I could do with some of that monotony!
