But surely the other 19 million would make up for them?

There's reasons for tickets been so expensive. We are seen as the one to beat, the biggest team from the biggest city in the RL heartlands. This means a bigger supporter pool. The reason Hudds, Wigan etc are good value is because they have 1000's sometimes over 10000 empty seats.

Fair play mate

Spoken like a true poor person.

Do you have any evidence for this assertion?


Or this one?

Yes, your team has been much ter than ours for very many years.

Hey if you wish to cough up those prices every other week, like YOU do, who's the mug to accept them and pay them, then I ain't stopping you



Fortunately I don't have to suffer those prices and wouldn't but then again I live in Hudds and we're more prudent with our money and don't like to be mugged off

Hello and welcome to the 21st Century my deprived friend. This may come as a surprise but the world outside of Kirklees as moved on since 1984 and, along with shoulder-pads, Wham and roller discos, £4.50 entrance prices are no longer available.

The only reason that you don’t get ‘mugged off’ when you’re in your home town is because you are surrounded by £Pound Shops, Bargain Stores and fellow unemployed, and being prudent with your Gyro is the only way you are able to afford that long awaited 5 litre bottle of White Lightning every Saturday night before Bingo.

Get real will ya - £20, I agree, is at the top end price range for a SL ground but it isn’t extortionate (£2 to £3 more than most grounds) and you are paying to see the current champions FFS.

i think saints are the team to beat not leeds

Might be my home town but I work in Leeds and I can assure you there's plenty of £Pound Shops, Bargain Stores and fellow unemployed, seems there are plenty of mugs who will pay silly prices too, seems you're one of them.

Keep shelling those 20 pound notes out, I'm laughing at you fella

Carry on laughing my underpaid friend – it’s me that’ll be watching top flight rugby league live while you’re… not.

And in the real world £20 isn’t a silly price for 80 minutes for entertainment but if you think it is then that’s just your small town mentality shining through.

Think what you want

but they aren't the defending back to back champions!!

You dont have to suffer those prices because no body in their right mind would pay that much to watch Huddersfield.

Leeds however are on a different level, if you want to come to the home of the back to back champions (ie the best team in the league by virtue that they are the champions) then you can expect to pay prices at the top end of the bracket.

However should we not be champions at the end of this season and therefore not the best team in the league, I wonder if we can expect a price cut to our tickets

The ticket prices just reflect supply and demand.

The club will sell tickets at the highest price that it can that doesn't adversley effect overall numbers, or at least doesn't effect them enough to result in an overall drop in revenue. Same as any other business.

At Huddersfield you have high supply (big stadium) and very little demand, so they have low prices (such as the season ticket offer).

Show us yer trophies.

There's certainly been some champagne rugby and glorious victories at Headingley this year. Well worth the high admission prices.

No, really.

Its been as long time coming.

I agree but what has this got to do with watching Leeds RL this season.

Please excuse me from taking value for money advise from some one who works for a law firm.

I suppose that really relates to what you are comparing it with. £20 for all day at Alton Towers or £20 for a 5minute blowjob?

Alton towers is nearer £40

I don't know about the BJ price as I can't last 5 mins

Try £36 pal. £29 online.

I think I've spotted the real reason Huddersfield fans don't like coming to Headingley:

05-Jun-98 ..... 03 - 09 ..... Leeds 54 Huddersfield 4
16-Jul-99 ..... 04 - 21 ..... Leeds 86 Huddersfield 6
21-Apr-00 ..... 05 - 06 ..... Leeds 20 Huddersfield 10
18-May-01 ..... 06 - 11 ..... Leeds 52 Huddersfield 46
21-Mar-03 ..... 08 - 03 ..... Leeds 42 Huddersfield 28
16-Apr-04 ..... 09 - 07 ..... Leeds 38 Huddersfield 6
29-Apr-05 ..... 10 - 12 ..... Leeds 44 Huddersfield 14
12-Feb-06 ..... 11 - 01 ..... Leeds 20 Huddersfield 12
04-Mar-07 ..... 12 - 04 ..... Leeds 16 Huddersfield 12
11-Jul-08 ..... 13 - 21 ..... Leeds 46 Huddersfield 8

If I were a Huddersfield fan I'd definitely get along to this one though.

Yeah, not fancying our chances on this one really. With no peacock, someone is really going to have to step up
