If FC wanted to stick it to Rovers (in a South terrace sort of way), they could put Rovers all in the West upper and charge £26 a ticket - thus increasing the outlay by rovers as a club and making those paying half price shell out £13 each.
I think there is a serious risk that this could backfire on your board - if the FC board do a south terrace on you.
Wondered what your views are - not trolling - just wondered given the mixed reaction to the scheme.
Actually a good point.
Attendance might drop, but the price increase might well balance it, so they'd not necessarily be out of pocket. If there isn't an existing agreement, there is the potential for mischieve and given the poor state of relations between the clubs it could be interesting.
I know why they (Rovers) did it, to get around the scramble for tickets, but perhaps one less benefit and a £50 membership fee would have been wiser, if this is the case.

Given FC only open the upper west for 1 game per year, we could fix the price at the start of the year at say £26 - no need to offer discounts. We could then use the North stand for FC supporters once the upper west is full. Basically giving FC the bottom bowl of the stadium and putting your fans in the top. It does seem a strange offer, but for many the half price derby ticket could be a big benefit - but given we could comfortably give you 7000 tickets, it is not the most unique of benefits and leave Hudge open to being shafted by FC's board.

It only applies to the first 2500 members though IIRC. I do like the idea of pricing the upper West as £30 though and allocating that to Rovers

Mopeds at the ready in a Milan derby stlylee!
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Aye. They may have already agreed what is happening with Hull, but it isn't difficult to believe that they might not have.
A guaranteed ticket with a fixed amount (rather than %) discount would have been better in that case.
Fiver per head is £12.5k, minus concessionary discounts. Could do without it, but it wouldn't be the costliest mistake ever.
The quote in the Pdf relating to Freezing passes at 2008 prices states:-
Prices for 2010 2011*
At the bottom of the page the * states for those who join membership by 31/7/2009 for existing Season pass holders and by 16/8/2009 for new Season pass holder and where season passes are paid for by 30/9/2009
I have been onto the shop today as i qualify on the first part- but reading it again it reads as tho I would have to pay in full by 30/9/2009 - they have stated that this not the case and I will get discount on both years and still have the option to pay in instalments and she also mentioned that the 31 July statement is incorrect, and those purchasing after this date will still get discount on both years, although she didnt say when the offer period ended.

Thats what we have been doing, it's supply and demand. I would imagine it will be looked at next season as you now fall in to the catagory of Quins, Hudds etc as pi$$ poor away support
'when my life is over, the thing which will have given me greatest pride is that I was first to plunge into the sea, swimming freely underwater without any connection to the terrestrial world'
What will stop rovers fans just buying tickets for other parts of the ground what with agar( or maybe sharpe)playing crap, injuries,sit ins boycotts and the board they will be plenty of room
