Manchester City supporters have been told ‘welcome to America’ but locals after expressing shock at the price of food and drinks at the Club World Cup in Philadelphia.

Pep Guardiola’s side played their opening match of the tournament on Wednesday, winning 2-0 against Moroccan side Wydad Casablanca.

A total of 37,446 were at the Lincoln Financial Field for the match, with fans taking to social media to express their shock at price of food and drink at the match.

A can of premium beer was listed at $16.50 (£12.30), while domestic beer would set supporters back $14.50 (£10.81).

Mixed drinks was the most expensive beverage on the menu at $18.50 (£13.79), with wine costing $15.50 (£11.55).

Fans also expressed shock at the cost of non-alcoholic drinks, with an Aquafina bottle of water priced at $10 (£7.45), while bottled soda was marginally less at $9.50 (£7).

Supporters seeking to buy snacks could purchase peanuts, which were priced at $8 (£6).

A Man City fan attending the match commented ‘nice and reasonable prices’ amid the shock at the cost of the items.

Another fan responded ‘Then they ask for a tip on top’.

Travelling supporters were met with sympathy from American fans, who suggested the prices were typical of the matchday experience.

‘Trust me, we as Americans hate these prices too,’ one fan wrote in response.

‘Welcome to the US “entertainment” business,’ another added. 

However, Man City fans were offered some solace as their next venue in the Club World Cup weighed into the discussion.

 The Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta responded by sharing their own price list, detailing the price of drinks.

Large and regular premium beers will set Man City fans back $11 (£8.20) and $6 (£4.47) respectively at the venue, with domestic beer costing $9 (£6.71) and $5 (£3.73) depending on the size.

Souvenir and regular soft drink prices are priced at $4 (£3) and $2 (£1.50, with bottled water and sweet tea costing $3 (£2.20).

The venue in the build-up to the tournament had also shared the cost of other concessions.

‘We are ready to welcome the to Atlanta for the Club World Cup,’ the stadium wrote.

‘Here are a few menus to Atlanta show what the concession prices will be (NOTE: SAME AS ALWAYS!!).’

The most expensive food item on the menu was a whole pizza, costing $18 (£13.40), while slices were priced at $3 (£2.20.

Burger prices ranged from $6 (£4.47) to $9 (£6.71), while a family sized popcorn was the most expensive snack at $9 (£6.71).

Fans responding to the initial complaints about the prices in Philadelphia, lauded the cheaper items in Atlanta.

‘The City game at MBStadium in Atalanta will have the most affordable prices for food and drinks if you are going,’ one fan said.

Another added ‘As an American concession prices are ridiculous. Mercedes Benz Stadium, home of Atlanta United and the Atlanta Falcons is by far the cheapest, reason is the owner of both teams owns and employs all the concessions so it’s much cheaper.’

Man City will play at the venue on Sunday when they meet Al Ain from the United Arab Emirates in their second group match, before facing Juventus in Orlando.
