It's an out-and-out scandal, I tell thee!

If you think it isn't a fair price for the product then don't go. Simple. If you think it's an unfair price but pay it anyway then you're a mug. RL teams are businesses, and if the punters are prepared to keep paying, they'll keep charging.

Injustice? Uh-huh. Right. Bit of perspective needed perhaps?

What a drama queen.

It's not an excuse for me, it's the sole reason I won't be attending - for the first time since the move to the KC.

£25 to get a match ticket for KFC

or £20 for Live At Leeds

simples

Earlier on this year, when I read about the differential between the North and South stand pricing at the KC, I emailed Hull FC and warned the club there'd be complaints such as yours. The reply was as Sheldon pointed out, reward for the home fans for loyalty. Unfortunately, I knew away fans wouldn't wear this. It may change soon but Wigan brought a reasonable following the other Sunday and if away fans keep on turning up then it probably will stay in place.

On the other side of the coin, I've not gone through the entire thread but to get into Headingley to stand is £20 for an away fan. Then if you want to sit down like every speccie at the KC does regardless of where they are, it's £5 more at the cheapest, then £7 more or £10 more if you want to sit in the middle at the end. And those were last season's prices, don't suppose there's been an increase.

If it cost you more to sit down at the KC as an away fan than at Headingley as an away fan, then I'd have a bit more sympathy with your indignation.

I once went to Hull...and managed to get home OK with no damage to myself or my car.
Life is too short to push my luck and ever visit again.
It's scary enough visiting Headingley when Hull are in town!

Dear me.

Posts like this are why I rarely venture on here.

It's a well reasoned argument...if you want to sit down.

Most modern rugby league grounds are built with large amounts of standing (Warrington, St. Helens, Salford) precisely because people want to stand up. I hate sitting down, and most away fans spend a lot of their time on their feet. At the KC you have no choice - you have to pay for a seat.

What really matters is the minimum that it can cost you to see the game - at the KC for away fans it is £25, at Headingley for away fans it is 20% cheaper than that at £20.

I'll admit now that I am not going. It will be the first game at the KC that I have missed. This is partly because it is on SKY, partly because I don't fancy a late night home from East Yorkshire, and partly because £50 (for two) + petrol + something to eat means that it is just too expensive! It has pushed me over my acceptability threshold.

If you are treating a twenty pounds home ticket as a 'reward' then you are easily pleased, or duped. Everyone else in Superleague is playing £20 for a ticket behind the sticks and that's a standard price with no reward involved.

It's not acceptable behaviour from Hull and in my opinion all away supporters should consider boycotting the KC until parity is restored. Which is a shame, or perhaps the intention?

You need to reconsider your chip shop order my friend.

Unfortunately, this is a well spread myth. Away fans can sit anywhere they want to at the KC, reserved season pass seats excepted.

So you can actually take advantage of the South Stand seats at £19 if you so wish.

My emotive language was specificity selected to rile our Eastern brethren, I would have thought someone with your intellect would have seen this.

I'm not going, didn't really have any intention of going, regardless of cost but do you think I'd have passed up the opportunity to have a dig at the Hullians?

You're like my very own stalker - you following me around and pop up from time to time with, frankly, poor retorts.

If you're going take a shot at least put some effort in - at least I try.

They can, however the North Stand tickets (£23 in advance) are supplied to the away team for sale prior to the game, inferring that the away fans should be seated there. In the same way that Leeds supply Western Terrace tickets to the away team.

Yes but everybody is surely their own person. If you don't want to pay £25 to sit at one end, pay £19 to sit at the other. Just because Leeds are issued with "away" tickets doesn't force you to buy one.

Leeds may have issued Hull FC with "away" tickets to the Western Terrace every time we've visited Headingley but I usually sit in the North Stand.

You should watch the "Trainline.com" advert on the telly more often.

They are and I know that I can purchase Hull tickets in any stand I wish, as you do at Leeds (and I don't blame you going in the North stand over the West).
However, I'd guess the bulk of away tickets are purchased in advance from the away team (who will have been supplied the pricier tickets from Hull) or as a walk up (probably directed to the away designated stand) and not purchased in advance from Hull in the home stands.
Plus how many people will spend the time checking the away team's website for tickets or want to sit in a different stand to the rest of their team's fans?
Maybe in future, fans travelling to the KC should get organised, not get tickets through their club and go in the home stands to save a few quid.
Also, I'd avoid using thetrainline.com as they charge a bit extra for the same tickets that you can get cheaper elsewhere (a bit like Hull

)

I'll have you know I live in the Phildelphia area PA ,and I speak like JJB and JPwest leeds bramley accent and all the locals tell me they love my Irish brogue.

Surely this is just 18 pages of rubbish. I would suggest that it is a pure business decision, for most people the actual ticket price is probably not the major cost of an away trip and a differential of £5 or £6 is neither here nor there in the scheme of things. For this reason I would suggest that the actual numbers attending are not particularly price sensative as far as the ticket price is concerned. Presumably someone has done the maths and come to the conclusion that a roughly 25% increase in price will lead to a drop in attendance of something less than 25% (my guess is that the drop will probably be less than 10% but who knows) hence the actual gate receipts will go up.

Fair to the away fans - probably not but if you don't like it the answers simple, don't come.

In answer to fat boys never ending whine as to why is the north stand the most expensive - because thats the way the club think they'll make the most money.

If the cost of supporting your club home and away is that you feel ripped off so be it (I certainly feel that way when I get wet through at Headingly!)
Life's not fair - get over it

You do know you don't have to stand in the rain don't you?



If people want to vote with their feet they will do. They don't need your permission so why are you even here?

"If people want to vote with their feet they will do. They don't need your permission so why are you even here"

Absolutley right it's a free country, even in Hull, so wouldn't dream of "giving my permission" or otherwise, although I don't really see where you got that from from my post anyway.

Don't see the need for the insults, presume you're not coming so hope you enjoy it on the TV/radio (but not too much)

You were saying????????????????????????

See you next season, then?

I thought we were pals?
