| Quote wrencat1873="wrencat1873"No we didnt, your prices are to increase on the 27th Feb. However, everyhing has changed in the space of 24 hours and if we buy our tickets BEFORE the 27th of Feb, we can beat the increase.
Apology not expected as it might put another £2.50 on the most expensive tickets in SL
To be more expensive than Shudds is not a great acolade

No, the deadline to purchase tickets at the advance price of £23 is the 27th. It's £25 thereafter. Jesus Christ you lot are dim. |

The article can be read two ways.
I think the more likely scenario is that the 27th is the last day you can pay in advance (£23). After that date you pay the pay on the gate price (£25).
I reckon that is more likely than Hull FC changing their pricing policy on the 27th of Feb.
I think the 'gesture to loyal Hull fans', probably looks like a PR mistake now. More realistically, I suspect it reflects an effort to attract floating Hull fans rather than reward loyal ones, while realising that travelling fans tend to be the hardcore who'll not be put off by a few quid here or there - they might now stay away on principal though, which is why it could turn out be be a boo-boo.

firstly we are not charging away fans more to sit in the ground, hull fc fans who choose to sit in the east stand or west are being charged the same!
as for the south stand, why cant the club reward its own fans or try to get them back to watch games!?
as for the OP maybe he should have checked the fc website before posting fasle prices! also the wakey website has a lot to be desired if it cant post accurate pricing policy for away games!

It was an initial error on our own website where the incorreect prices were stated.
I dont think that you should try and take the moral high ground about being the most expensive venue in SL
Please explain in words of one sylabul why it is so much cheaper at the opposite end of the ground, which is basically
the same view of the game.
BTW, Jesus Christ is someone completely different, I dont think he posts on RL Fans

To some extent I can see that a club should be free to charge as it sees fit, to suit its circumstances. And fans can take it or leave it as [ithey[/i see fit. You'll recall no doubt Rovers discounting the South Stand at CP when demand was low (nearly always), then raising it for derby games. So I'm not trying to preach from any sort of moral highground.
The issue is serious enough though that the football league have a rule against it, so I don't think it can be easily dismissed. The North and South are equivalent to each other, not to the East and West. Your wiggle room is that away fans can go in the South - but as the tickets you send to other clubs are for the North, it is only a partial defence.
=#4000BFFootball League clubs are obligated to charge away fans the same price as home fans pay in equivalent areas except on four occasions per season when they are allowed to offer so-called “local promotions”. (Rules vary throughout the football pyramid and local promotions are not allowed in the Premier League.)
The Football League rules (31.2.11) state: “Discounts or special promotions (in each case for one match only) made available to supporters of the Home Club must also be made available on a similar basis to visiting supporters provided always that each Club shall be permitted to designate four (4) matches per season as ‘local promotion’ Matches where this regulation shall be deemed not to apply.”

Does no other club offer discounted seats to its fans?
Also - where does it say only home fans allowed. If you are really that bothered, sit in the South Stand

| Quote Wilde 3="Wilde 3"
What relevance the 'moral high ground' comment has I've no idea.
I came on to this thread, and the other one on the Wakey board, to correct those wrongly thinking the north stand was £27.
Now, if you asked me if at £23/£25 the North stand is overpriced, I would say yes - of course it is, but it is comparable with the West & East stands at the KC (I also think they too are expensive).
The South Stand has been discounted for this season & we also have a small family section in the West stand that is cheap. You can buy tickets in both.

that is football, not rugby, and until any rule changes state that rugby must do the same, the club aren't braking any rules, already posted on the wakey site that ourselves and rovers fans have the furthest to travel to all games in SL due to location, not counting london or catalan as the numbers they bring just fill a mini bus, all other clubs have clubs within short distance of each other, fans complaining about the cost of the kc should think themselves lucky! apart from rovers, the nearest ground to hull is 45 minutes away and plenty lay out travel costs on top of ticket costs without moaning! away fans at the kc have always been poor in number, regardless of the prices! |

I'm not suggesting any rules are being broken! Just that the concerns expressed are not unique or completely unreasonable.
Neither of our clubs can reasonably lay the disadvantages of K-u-Hull's location at the doors of the other clubs, so I'm not sure it is very compelling mitigation.
To me it's a hardnosed and economically legitimate decision. I can understand why it's been done, but also why it isn't seen as fair. See also CP South Stand premium prices for the derby.
This, like that, has failed to slip under the radar. That may or may not undermine the commercial rationale. Probably not, IMO - you'll just have to read or avoid a lot of moaning on here.  |

| cracking deal at broncos. (although they were free from the london standard last year  )
its all well and good making season tickets cheap but that does not encourage new "turn up on the day" supporters, who then have to pay top whack. |
