Manchester City fans have confirmed that they are considering staging a mass walkout in protest against the club's ticket prices for the Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain.

Tickets for the second leg of the tie are on sale for between £45 and £60, which represents a significant increase from the last round against Dynamo Kiev (£30-£40) and their three group games (£20-£40).

The club have defended their ticket prices, arguing that it offers a "fair reflection of the profile of the game", but the 1894 Group has urged those in charge to listen to the fans.

"We have had a huge amount of correspondence from City supporters who feel the pricing policy for the PSG game has gone over a line. We have been asked to organise walkouts and to try and reverse the club's decisions on ticket prices. The club have not shown any consistency on pricing for this competition which has resulted in thousands of empty seats for games," read a statement.

"The prices were too high for too long. Our view is that even if the club signed [Lionel] Messi, [Paul] Pogba and Neymar but the prices were too high fans just would not go. The club didn't listen to this advice on prices and of course attendances in the Champions League slumped to the point where the club sent out thousands of free tickets - a buy one, get one free offer - for the CSKA Moscow home game in November 2014.

"Nothing devalued the competition more than giving away free tickets. It's likely that a lot of fans will wait and see what happens in the first leg (in Paris) before purchasing a ticket for the return - then there's a concern of higher prices in the event of us reaching a semi-final. We feel the club need to really listen to the fans now on ticket prices."

Earlier this season, Liverpool fans staged a mass walkout in protest over new ticket prices from next season, which resulted in the club performing a U-turn on the decision.
