Manchester City's decision to freeze ticket prices for the 2026-27 season shows "how special" the club is, says manager Pep Guardiola.
General admission season tickets and Premier League match-by-match tickets for adult and junior members will be retained at the same rate for the third consecutive campaign.
The club's price freeze comes at a time when the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, Newcastle and Liverpool have all increased ticket prices, with protests planned at Anfield about the issue for Saturday's game against Crystal Palace.
"Hats off to my chairman and my CEO," said Guardiola. "This business doesn't work without fans. Imagine playing in the Covid times when we didn't have people in our stadium.
"The club needs to have enough resources financially to buy the best players and continue to pay the players. It is necessary but the club thought: 'OK, we can find it another way'.
"The situation in the world is difficult, and not increasing season tickets means a lot for how special this club is and how good it is. Hopefully in the last two or three games at home they can all be there."
