In return I ask you the question, how many other teams would sell out of their allocation, AND buy tickets from Craven Park? I'm not sure how many times we need to tell you that £17 was the price at the start of the season, your fans paid the standard price to enter Craven Park, with no discount.



I've amended your typo.

I think you'll find the only ones raising the price are yourselves. It's our choice now whether we attend or not. Let's put it this way, I think you'll be handing over a hefty sum to Children in Need, in the name of 'Hull FC'

I understand that there is no demand at £17 from any other club. I'd just like an answer to the question as to whether any other team's supporters were actually charged £17.

The fact remains that Hull FC are making no money out of putting the price up for one game, but Children in Need are benefitting to the tune of up to £15,000 if the game sells out. Hull FC supporters stood the £7 per ticket increment vs what apparently every other team paid as that's supply and demand for you and Rovers pocketed the difference. FC are applying the same principle and it will be interesting to see whether £21 vs £20 is a big enough price differential to put people off. It's Hull FC's choice to do what they want with that extra money if market forces mean that Rovers fans (and FC non passholders, who in reality will be at least equal in number) are willing to pay that price, and FC are choosing to donate it to charity. Read the website. No one is claiming FC are donating any money themselves, in the same way that a fundraising Red Nose Day event at a school doesn't require the school themselves to part with any cash but just deal with the organisation and admin.

I am making a sepertate point and 1 you seem to be deliberatly missing.
So ill say it again we charged you no extra than the normal price (without the discount something you yourself have said is understandable).
You are charging us and extra fee!!
And no matter how much spin you put on it those 2 situations are no the same.

Nope but keep on spinning it.

Pay the quid you tight sods

No i wont.

All this over an extra pound, i know that a donation to charity should be optional if you want to pay it. Like most other people i donate to Children in need through many ways if its through the childrens school or a pound in the box at asda. I dont have an issue with what Hull fc are doing and if it was £30 a ticket i would be there cheering on the boys because to any true supporter these games are the ones that matter

You already know the answer, theres no demand for those tickets at any of the other fixtures so if it means we get a few extra people in at a discounted price then so be it. When we play Hull the ground will sell out at the normal prices

I have no problem with donating to charity and often do but surely it should be my choice as to whether I want to do it or not instead of getting told i have to if I want to attend the Hull Derby at the KC?

Bludger

Wait till the whip round in the press box, my spy will name and shame those who have short arms and deep pockets

If the price charged 90% of the time is £10, then that is the normal price, whatever some fictional "full price" might be claimed to be. Aren't there some OFT rules about suppliers of goods and services only being able to promote prices as being "discounted" when they're actually on offer at the "full price" for reasonable lengths of time?
