What are the thoughts with the Hull FC fans on admission price strucutre at KC Stadium?

£25 for an away fan on the day £23 pre-purchased


£19 for a concession



At Wigan:

£19 for an adult
£13 for a concession

I know you have a nice new stadium and are playing decent rugby this year but...dear me...i thought Hull was a working class area like Wigan?

IT IS, BUT THE GROUBD IS GOVERNED NY THE STADIUM MANAGEMENT COMPANY OF WHICH IM CERTAIN FC HAVE NO REAL POWER OVER... BUT IT IS A RIP-OFF YOUR RIGHT

Its the same at Salford aswell i believe

way its ging woth these new grounds, complete scandel really, plus the beer and food prices are eye watering at times

put it into perspective though - its £3 more than standing at Belle Vue

Exactly, people need to compare like with like - you cant expect to pay standing prices in new stadia

Our prices have to be a little higher to try and make some money because usually no team ever bothers to come to Hull in numbers as we do to their ground.

How does that put it into perspective.....yours confused

Catch 22 then, lower the prices and they will come (Waynes World)

Ask BRADFUT how that turned out for them

Perspective? ok - It is £20 to stand in a 5hithole, compared to £23 to sit in a state of the art stadium with a great view.

At the end of the day, its £3 more

FFS do we have to go through this every home game.

What can we he fans do?

Complain at the club not us.

Do you believe charging away supporters £6 more for exactly the same view as South stand supporters get for £19 is good business sense then?

I'll answer that myself, NO, just look at the abysmal away support.

Has the away support been any worse his year, thought I read hudds brought a lot more than usual?

If we let them in for free most wouldn't bring anymore..

You mean the away support that has always been abysmal?

Correct it is, but its £20 for an adult and its standing - and their SMC seem to think we are football fans, they search 90% of home and away fans.(something there own fans seem to dislike alot)

£20 seems a reasonable price pre-game.

Some fans keep on defending this price structure, but I think it has been a complete marketing own goal.

Every week away fans have (quite rightly) either questioned or criticized the prices...and overall I think the club would have been better simply keeping both the South Stand and North Stands at say £20. I don't feel the £19 'offer' in the South stand has attracted new fans anyway, all that has happened is some fans have moved from the East stand.

Don't you go bringing facts into it. Where's your faux outrage man?

I never mentioned anything about 'free' just 'fair'...

So keep them as they are and nobody comes anyway...great move

What's unfair about offering your own fans a discount?

If another £2 or £3 puts someone off travelling 2 hours each way and probably paying for their food and beer then I doubt they'd be coming anyway

My concern is not so much the pricing but more the marketing, not sure if it is just me but we don't appear to be marketing games like we have in previous seasons.

Its exploitation and discrimination against away fans, why should i travel for four hours and pay more to watch the 'same game' at the 'same stadium'?

This was discussed on Super League Back Chat and they didnt seem very impressed either. The new concept of your owner...

Lets put it this way, i pay £13 concession at Wigan to sit in the South Stand on Good Friday the first ever derby at Langtree Park Saints admission structure doesnt allow mature students a discount therefore i had to pay £18.50 for my ticket, thats fine as it was a local derby and a historic first game. The point is this - Hull FC are asking £19 for a concession ticket and requires me to travel for four hours incuring another cost.

As discussed on Super League Back Chat even though clubs are individual businesses we need some standardisation across the board at all clubs set prices strucutres for adults, children, oaps, students, unemployed etc. The only issue is the standard of the stadia, in this repsect Hull and Hudds are up there with other 'Yorkshire' clubs floundering i.e Wakefield, Cas, Hull KR.
