Manchester City's ticket pricing for the 2025-26 campaign has been welcomed by fans' groups who campaigned against the club last season.

Instead of rises that had been feared by supporters, City have said the price of the lowest-priced tickets will be reduced.

While the actual prices will differ depending on the category of the game, an adult ticket for the lowest category of matches will range between £30 and £50. For the highest category, it will be between £40 and £60. Junior members tickets will be available for between £15 and £30.

City say for the Manchester derby or equivalent fixture, the lowest-priced adult tickets have been reduced by 43%, while the highest-priced tickets by 22%.

"This is a big step in the right direction by the club and a vindication of the collective action so many blues took last season," said the Trade Union Blues group.

"We welcome the reduction in matchday ticket prices," said the Weare1894 group. "A definite step in the right direction and proof that all fans can make a difference."

In his interview with club media last month, City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said he was "not OK" with how the ticket situation had played out and the rancour it had caused.

In addition, the club has pledged that "under no circumstances" will the price of a ticket for Premier League game increase if it has been moved because of a clash with a cup tie.

City have welcomed the substantial input from the City Matters fans group, who said: "Through our dialogue with the club, the match day 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."
