There seems to be a lot of rumours on the boards of an increase in the amount clubs get for selling away tickets from 10% of face value to 25%. Does anyone know if this is correct? I have to say that when I attend away matches I don't usually buy a ticket in advance as it's a ball ache for me to get into Hull to get them but if the club can benefit significantly then I'll probably find a way.

As an example, if every Hull fan had bought their tickets for the wakey game from the club it could have been worth something like £15k to us so not insignificant

James Clark was on RH last night and alluded to this. I'm not sure whether it has been implemented or it's in the discussion stage. Very good idea.

I always buy my tickets from the club. More and more grounds are moving away from pay turnstiles so it makes sense and as mentioned, the club gets a little bonus too.

Can you not purchase away tickets online from the FC website and print them off?

No its not a rumour Jake,according to League Express (this week) this decision was passed last week .The move was proposed strongly by Hull FC and Leeds and was carried with a vote of 7-4 in favour of the change to 25%.The four clubs who objected were Waky,Wigan,Hudds and Leigh.So if you plan on travelling away make sure you get your tickets from our club.
Does not say who abstained,can only assume Les Cats.

Great news for any club that has a lot of travelling supporters. Can see why Huddersfield won't be happy where there's probably at least a couple of thousand difference between their and our travelling support.

No, they are sent in physical form from the clubs. They post them out to you though, I always get mine posted if they've not got them in when we're there for a home game.

How much did people pay at Wakey for the tickets bought from the club, I paid £21 as I bought them from the Wakefield website, I met a mate there and I sure that he said he paid £24

My mum and dad always buy theirs from the Hull club shop and the Wakey game cost them £21. I paid on the day and it was £24. Thought it was a bit steep to be honest to stand in that well with no cover!!

So thats over a tenner your mum and dad have ploughed back into our club.


You can see just on those two tickets alone what a benefit being a well supported club away from home means.

Good news for us as a club who have traditionally helped fill the coffers at other clubs who haven't reciprocated with similar numbers of travelling fans.

Abso bloody right.

we had a brief discussion on the viability of an away season ticket on the VT last year. One with say 7 games and another all of them with added games such as CC final, Big Bash etc as options.
Both your own club and the 'away' team get money upfront in exchange for an additional discount on the ticket.
would also like to see a 'season ticket' that allows anyone to use, this year i can't even make 6 league games as things stand but i'd buy a full membership if my brother or mum could use it for those games i couldn't get to.

Can't you just give your pass to somebody else to use?

No, the new biometric scanners and passes mean it isn't possible just to simply give the credit card sized piece of plastic to someone else plus the new laser security system inside the stadium would mean that anyone other than the passholder would be immediately vapourised if they sat in the passholder's seast

A few of us share a pass during the season, depends who is working where, kept in a locker we all have keys for, a bit like a timeshare I guess...

I couldn't make a couple of games last season and I gave my pass to my ex to use. There's no reason why you can't share a pass imo.

Wonder how you can help your current hubby out when he becomes your ex?

Same old Patton. Try to be a little positive about relationships. You never know, you and Bumpy may even meet up for an amiable soiree

Living in Leeds have no option but to pay on the gate. £24 at wakey

Cant you buy and print at home?

They post ours out to us!

No, the away clubs send printed tickets.

Good job I'll never need to find out
