| Don't KC Stadium also charge different prices for food & drink in away stand compared to the home stands, or was that just a rumour (not as if it's set my club either).

Strange then that you appear on here attempting to do so (and when failing resorting to childish Wiganesque comments like the above) and also that your club appears to think they do by issuing a press release attempting to justify the away fan pricing structure and doing so upon in-correct data that prices haven't changed.

| Quote ="number 6"how come warrington choose too as well?
£26.50 to sit? hardly cheap for fans who travel and need to be seated is it?'"
That’s why you should go in the East Stand which is the like for like comparison to the away fan’s stand at Hull ie seating behind the sticks.
Adult tickets are £2 cheaper whilst oaps and students come in at a whopping £5.50 cheaper (40% dearer at Hull) once you’re in there we’ll even charge you the same price for food and drinks.
At the end of the day Hull have shot themselves in the foot with the bad will caused (you’ll get this reaction from fans every two weeks) and any extra they get on ticket sales will more than be off-set by those who will choose to give it a miss. Lets face it Hull away is not the top of anybody’s favourite away match list.

My point was: no matter what justification we made, the hard of thinking on here, blindly refused to accept any of it, tending instead to either introduce another argument or resort to insulting the City of hull by describing it as some 3rd world township.
All of your arguments are wasted, there is nothing that the users of RL Fans can do to change the pricing structure. So instead of whingeing and moaning to us, why not take your argument to the management of both clubs?

| Quote ="cod'ead"At face value, it does appear unfair to be charging away fans more than home fans for similar facilities. Conversely, it could also be viewed as the new owner deciding to reward the years of loyalty of the home fans.
There also seems to be two arguments on her and I'm struggling to see any concensus: is it a problem with the absolute price or is the problem with the pricing differential?
Look at other grounds and there are differentials for away supporters: Wigan and Huddersfield for two. Then if you look at Leeds, they advertise all standing at £20 but the only standing available to away fans is also totally uncovered. £23 may seem excessive but when you factor in a seat and a roof over your head (quite apart from £2 going to the away club too), as compared to £20 to stand, with the opportunity to get soaked to the skin, the £3 differential don't seem that excessive.'"
Nothing stopping you at Leeds in going to the east stand which is covered.

Similarly there is nothing preventing any away fan from sitting in our South Stand at £19 ubt most on here prefer to moan about paying the same price as last year

Far Superior than Wigan and Wire? How? I agree it is better than Leeds and as I haven't been to Saints new ground I cannot say either way but it does look a great stadium from the pics.

Other than Wembley, it's the only true "bowl" in Superleague, with no corners open to the elements. Seating with leg room and space for even the fattest posterior. Plenty of toilets, great facilities for wheelchair and ambulent disabled, plenty of food/beverage outlets, car-park facilities within easy walking distance, an excellent park-&-ride scheme.

| Apart from the "bowl" that sounds like a lot of other stadiums really. Also isn't Saints new stadium a "bowl"? I dont see the big deal in the bowl really anyway, I really enjoy going to Wigan and the view from the seats are good. Also at wire you get a really good view from the away end.
I will say the KC is nice but it's nothing special

Come off it. I'm sure most Hull fans are very nice but there is definitely a minority who would ensure away fans were not welcome in the South Stand.
Secondly, it is not the same price.
Thirdly - I thought Hull were determined to improve their image, make themselves a more friendly club and aim for sell out crowds? Your "like it or lump it" attitude on this thread is not exactly helping, is it?

Same price as last year then? At least that's what Adam Pearson said:
www.warringtonwolves.org/on-the- ... -hull-4642
Looks to me like adults have increased by £1 whilst concessions and juniors by £3 and £2 respectively.
Have they increased the prices by the same in the home stands this year?

"bleating" ?! I've posted one reply onto a discussion thread. I notice quite a few people on this thread state they were going to take it further and contact the club and/or raise the issue at a fans forum. As a result, Hull have issued a statement attempting (but failing) to defend their position. Not a great result in this case, but don't think that discussing something on an internet forum can't lead to action - it often does.

| I emailed the club before they put out the statement, i didn't get a personal reply but the statement was enough, to be honest i was going to write down the reply i thought i was going to get before i received it as i was certain how they'd word it AND they didn't let me down. Then AP comes out with "i don't know where people pulled out the £25 figure"
Maybe that's because if i walk up i pay £25, rocket science it isn't. He says prices are in line with other clubs yet off the list i compiled the average price is £19 so actually he's wrong again.

| The worrying thing is that cod'ead comes across as reasonable enough on the Hull board, imagine if any of the others escaped the pen.
I'm also amused by the idea that 'there's nothing stopping' Warrington fans going into the South Stand - it's been acknowledged over on the Hull board that the stewards would put a stop to it. Trips to the magnificent bowl stadium are characterised by elderly chaps with high blood pressure screaming abuse at anyone who looks like they may be from a different gene pool, so I can only imagine the camaraderie of sitting amongst the home contingent.

And again: how much does it cost an away supporter to sit at the HJ?

The East stand is open to anybody.
If you class the West stand as the away end then it's standing (Nothing to stop you sitting on the floor though)

As is the South Stand at the KC
Quote ="Tin Soldier"If you class the West stand as the away end then it's standing (Nothing to stop you sitting on the floor though)'"
So, if I visit as an away fan and I want to sit down (in a seat), as close to my fellow-away fans as possible, how much would that cost me?

No one falling in to your trap?
I'll put a stick in it so no one does then
You want someone to say it's 26 and a half quid and then you go nah nah that's more expensive so that you can feel all superior without failing to take in that
a) The North Stand is a dedicated HOME stand
b) It's Warrington's Premier stand
The West stand is the away stand, it's standing, if you want to sit down you have a choice.
The cheapest available tickets include the away fans unlike at the KC were the most expensive tickets are for away fans.

The cheap tickets at Wembley are 21 quid but what if i want to sit next to Prince William, how much would that cost me?

And the cheapest price for an away supporter at the KC is exactly the same as the cheapest price for a home supporter at the KC. You just sit in the same stand
