the figures i found,
bradford charging 83 pounds,
salford 65
huddersfield (young adult) 85

these are three i found cheaper?

Students seem to come just under concessions at Bradford, and so I'm not sure you're right about that. It wasn't exactly clear, because it talked about students just getting a discount on the gate (unless that was a discount off the young adult ticket). I couldn't see anywhere with a clause describing "young adult".

whats the problem? i really dont get it. School students should get it cheaper. 16+ still in education should still pay that little more. simply because they are able to work. Dont get me wrong ive had student tickets up until last year but when it came to getting them i went and did extra hours coaching or working. whats the god damn problem!

Yes a little bit more, but when juniors are £20 and students are £95, its a big difference.


In a few other clubs, students pay double the amount of what juniors pay.

but these are kids that dont have the opportunity to work. at 16 alot more opennings for work become available this is what im saying.

Yes i know what your saying about 16+ have an opportunity to work, which is true, but its finding a job that will work around the college hours thats the hard part.

and the 64 yr olds pay full while 65s get in on a OAP, there has to be a line that is drawn, do not see it

Glass collecting
Coaching
Milk Rounds
working in Shops
cleaning
cleaning windows
look the list can go on and on the truth is there are jobs out there but you have to be willing to do them to earn the money! end of

65 is ment to be the retirement age yes?
But a child, is still a child, wether they're at college or not, until their 18th birthday.

on head nail hit, thats why they are students, work shy layabouts sponging of mummy and daddy and thats my opinion and impression i get from 99% of em i meet, i deal with them every day, most of em drop out before completing cos they cant even handle that,

Get a job and face real life like the rest of us

you cease being a minor at 16 not 18, next excuse please

a child stops being a child the moment they start tryind to by fags and booze, you wanna be treated like adults act like one.

At the price quoted if fans are that bothered and support the club they will find a way! Its proffessional RL for goodness sake!

Maybe the club should be doing more to attract young fans, but as the £20 on the gate fee for adults this year has shown there doesn't seem much will to look to growing gates for the future, maybe it's just needs must or a lack of imagination.

I would like to see a special deal specifically for Wakefield College students, given all the links the club have, but I'm not holding my breath for the forward thinking policies.

P.S. A 5 year old would have got in to all games for free last year, but now will have to pay. Have they had a change in income capacity? Life moves on and gets more expensive. Get used to it.

You say there are jobs out there and you just have to be willing to do them, but I have lost count of the amount of jobs I have applied for since I started college last September but the amount of employers that actually get back to you about them is pretty poor tbf. And would it not be for my age I would be applying for jobs that include nightshifts, but as the law stands I can't.I would also like to add that not all teenagers/students are laybouts, its not very fair to stereotype todays young 'uns on whether or not they have a job even if they are looking for one, there probably has been and will be again, a time where you have been unemployed so by your wisdom that would make you a "workshy layabout" yeah, didnt think so..... And was there any need to start lowering the tone by chucking about insults? Not really....

This thread was made by me, to try and get support to keep us in line for a franchise. If you look back, you'll realise i havn't said i'm not gettin a season ticket. I was pointing out that some students will be unwilling to pay for it.
Forums are open for discussion and debate, some people agree, some people disagree, in this case students agree with my first post, other believe its a way of life, things get expensive.
But any need for the insults on the younger generation?

Don't get the anti student jibes eg get a job, beer money etc.

Anyone who wants to be someone generally has to be a student.

It's certainly not easy and the work/financial sacrifice is significantly more than people who just get a job!

No I don't get the jibes either, especially considering you can't get in to a lot of professions, without going through the college then university route, but I don't think what the club charges is too much at all,at the end of the day, if you support the club you'll find a way to get the money ,even if it means cutting back on other things you spend your money on

Agree £6 pound odd a game sounds good to me!

I think the ticket's a fair price given that I get in for a tenner with my student card when I'm about. A season ticket's pointless for me given that I'm away in Exeter for most of the year round and miss a fair chunk of home games. Away games included would possibly persuade me to get one as then I'd get into a lot more games for a reasonable cost at Easter and during summer, but it's not to be and I can understand that from a revenue point of view.

It's not the prices that're gonna keep the young folk away anyways, it's the rugby

Wait till you get to Uni, then you will be paying for everything other than council tax! (Including dentist/doctors ect) Despite being in full time education. When I was at college I worked any job I could, and have worked since I was 13 to pay for things like Season Tickets ect. ATEOTD you should be working if you want to afford such luxuries such as Rugby matches. Not being funny but just because you are young doesn't mean you should have special exemptions, the club runs on a tight budget and by the time someone is 16 their heart is either in the club or not and money doesn't matter to the individual any longer. The club runs on a watertight budget and at £6-odd a game is a bargain. Don't mean to be patronising but thats how these things work IMO.

Im also a student and i have to say that WTW season tickets are very reasonable. After all its 12 quid on the gate so ur getting in half price. Stop being immature....get a job and get on with your life

agreed. im 21, at uni and have been through it all... you get a job. end of
