2: EXCLUSIVE SUPPORTER AUCTIONS

3: SEASON TICKET DONATIONS

In a new development for the 24/25 season, Season Ticket Members that are unable to attend a match can donate their match ticket refunds on the ticket exchange to City in the Community.

You can donate your refund to CITC for several matches throughout the season and this can be done up to seven days before each respective matchday.

Your ticket will then be listed for sale, giving another fan the chance to attend the match and show their support for the team.

Donating your match ticket refund, when you cannot attend a match, counts towards your minimum season ticket usage for the season and will also support City in the Community’s purpose of empowering healthier lives with city youth through football.

We have several home matches coming up at the Etihad Stadium where you can donate your ticket: Crystal Palace, Wolverhampton Wanderers and AFC Bournemouth. If you cannot attend these matches, then you can support the Club’s charity through your ticket donation.

4: ONE OFF DONATIONS

Don’t forget that if you are making any ticket or shop purchases online, you can also donate a custom amount to City in the Community whilst checking out and making your purchase.

Alternatively, you can join a host of other fans by visiting the charity’s JustGiving page and showing your support there!
