At face value, it does appear unfair to be charging away fans more than home fans for similar facilities. Conversely, it could also be viewed as the new owner deciding to reward the years of loyalty of the home fans.
There also seems to be two arguments on her and I'm struggling to see any concensus: is it a problem with the absolute price or is the problem with the pricing differential?
Look at other grounds and there are differentials for away supporters: Wigan and Huddersfield for two. Then if you look at Leeds, they advertise all standing at £20 but the only standing available to away fans is also totally uncovered. £23 may seem excessive but when you factor in a seat and a roof over your head (quite apart from £2 going to the away club too), as compared to £20 to stand, with the opportunity to get soaked to the skin, the £3 differential don't seem that excessive.

We should look upon this as doing our bit to help an under-priveledged area of the world to develop. Its a kin to saving used stamps for the Blue Peter Appeal. Perhaps Hull should erect a "totalometer" above the away turnstyles showing exactly how much they have raised through the blatant ripping-off of away fans via their pricing structure.
Here's a suggestion: don't spend anything, stay in that vibrant, cosmopolitan metropolis that is Warrington. I can assure you, you won't be missed in Hull

As was mine, not that I'm complaining about the extra £1! I just don't understand why Hull are advertising that it's the same as last year?
My point too wire1.
Fans that do go should ensure that they buy tickets from the Wire shop to reduce the cash going to Hull (And of course to help finance our club). For me no ticket behind the sticks should cost more than £20 for adults and £10 for Juniors and Students.

Horatio Yed wrote:They put their prices at £25 advanced next year then tell you "but it was the same last year" why are they charging the most?
What justification do they have for charging more than Saints and Wigan and even though they have no roof Leeds?
Because we have a far superior ground and facilities than Saints, Wigan, Leeds and Wire all lumped together.
Get this straight: we don't have to justify anything to anyone.
Happy now?
