Last year, I went up to get tickets to the equivalent match on the Tuesday before the match, and the new stand was sold out. We ended up in 'The Well', with it's crowding and shocking view.

Anyway, this year, to make sure we didn't miss out again, I went up today, nearly a fortnight from the game. I got the tickets I wanted, but that left only three more for the new stand.

Is the jaunt to Hull that popular? Or did Leeds only receive a small number, and will ask for more?

Went to Hull KR last season ..stood in the Well section of the ground ( crap view) the away end behind the sticks is another crap view ( too far away from the pitch )...so Iff you can't get a ticket for the new stand or rough it in the home section of the ground .....GIVE IT A MISS

We went Friday morning got 4 tickets for new stand, Used our free coach passes aswell. There wasn't very many tickets left at all.

If I remember we got an extra allocation last year, maybe the same will happen this season???

Well, 3 weeks ago I rang the ticket office to get a seat near some friends to be told none were available near them and I would have to sit lower down

The following week some other friends went to the shop and managed to get seats close to the group

I went on the rampage to the club shop. However the response I got from the shop staff was top notch and I managed to get a seat near my mates. Apparently two separate batches were kept for on phone sales and ones in the club shop

Got my ticket (just by the sound of it). They have sold out "The Well" section and are close to selling out another stand. We've sold almost all of our initial allocation no idea how many we got given myself.

From the above it would seem that there should be a good turn-out of Rhinos fans at Craven Park, not as many as the tens of thousands they bring to Headingley, obviously.

Can you use your free away voucher over the phone or do you have to go to the club shop?

I think you might be able to, as they insisted that I write the season ticket number of each member on the back of their respective voucher. They can just as easily take your number on the phone and mark your account accordingly, I suppose.

Last year I was told you had to hand it over in person to get the ticket. They kept my stub and clipped it up with others, marking my number on the back - maybe to keep a record / later check if needs be.

I agree they should just be able to tick a box on the computer so they can record it has been used - I'm not sure if they do do that, but I suppose there is no 'proof' of validity doing it over the phone. A (non member) friend could find your season ticket card in my wallet and then (if that way inclined) use it and ask to 'cash in' your voucher thus scoring themself free use of it and you being unaware it has been used.

That example of 'writing the numbers of the 4 passes on the back' makes sense as they can then at least keep them - those four vouchers won't be on 'the market' anymore for someone else to attempt to use, either against a different supporter number or the same one again.

Ill have to give them a ring and see. Surely you can? I mean not everyone can get to the ticket office before it shuts. I'm not enquiring about this game by the way.

Sounds like alls not well when you stand in the well! £23 to stand!! Wow

In the well your down the side of the pitch, It's exactly 100 pennies more expensive then it is to Stand behind the sticks in your West stand.

So is it proportionate to Leeds ticket prices, Yes I think it is.
Horses for courses though as our seating tickets are far cheaper then yourselves. You can turn up on a matchday and sit in our new stand for £25, £23 if you buy in advance or if a 2015 member buys your ticket it's only £22. Your new stand is £32 on a matchday and £30 if you buy in advance.

Yeah wasn't having a pop, just commenting on how prices have rocketed in recent years. Really boils my p1ss this extra charge if you don't buy pre game.

Agree with that about prices increasing if you don't buy before the game.

It goes up by about £5 at Elland Road on match day

It's not a price increase on the day, it's a discount for buying in advance.
Getting the money into the club's coffers early.

With clubs like Leeds and HKR travelling in big numbers to away matches and buying tickets in advance via their own outlets give a lot of revenue to their respective clubs, and long may this last. I think away teams still receive 10% all ticket sales IIRC.

HKR's Well goes up by two sovs if paying on the day.

They do, yes.

As for the seating allocation, thinking back to last year, home fans make up the majority of the seat ticket sales, with the Rhinos fans tagged on either end, and the remainder standing. So I don't think the allocation is massive. It also doesn't make for a great atmosphere.

Can you ask the guys with the trumpet and drum not to bother





.

Haven't you heard? We've got eight drummers lined up for all our away games this time.

Shouldn't it be 12 drummers drumming?

Last time I went to KR, I seem to recall Gareth Stephens scored a winning try for Leeds in a poor game. A player who IMO never fulfilled the promise he showed when he first made the 1st team
Think I recall a massive cock up by Vince Fawcett, and he was taken off
Good old Dougie might have been coach?

Yes, Dougie was coach. Fawcett was running the ball out from his own sticks and dropped it clean (IIRC), letting Hull KR score what was seemingly the winning try, only for (again IIRC) Andy Gregory, in one of the very few good things he did in a Leeds shirt, set up Gareth Stephens for the actual winner.

I believe Dougie made some comment regarding the Fawcett incident along the lines of 'If I'd had a gun, I'd have shot him.'

Regarding Stephens, it may be a terrace nonsense, but didn't we take him instead of Jason Robinson?

Could be worst for RL fans. Man Utd fans with season tickets are being forced to buy tickets (at around £50 a pop) for the cup reply against 4th tier Cambridge or face having their season ticket suspended for the next home league game against Sunderland.
