I was looking to go to Hull this weekend and wondered why the away supporters are charged £25 behind the goals yet home supporters only pay £19 for the opposite end?

It's because Adam Pearson is a tool of the highest order. He's blundered his way into Rugby League thinking he's the top man and can do what he pleases. Gary Hetherington showed him that's not necessarily the situation re the Briscoe case, but Pearson seems keen alienate away supporters in such austere times by hiking their ticket prices. I would send Hull an allocation of tickets at £25 a time for the Western Terrace when they come over.

I think I'll give it a miss, the price is high but the principle is the main issue

Plenty of other reasons not to go but they never stopped me before so it is just the overcharging

I'm giving it a miss. I enjoy a trip to Hull but I won't pay that.

Hundreds of Wigan fans gave it a miss in protest along with emailing Hull FC with complains, we got told pretty much that we wasnt being overcharged but they was rewarding the home fans with cheap tickets for their loyalty. And some of who did go got met with bricks on the way out. Hull FC wrong on so many levels this year.

Hull is one of my favourite away trips, but no way am I prepared to pay that. I'll be staying away for the first time since Hull moved to the KC.



Well played Mr Pearson.

Pub or settee for me, it would have been anyway but I'll use fake indignation at the pricing structure. It's a disgrace.

£25 to sit down directly behind the posts at KC Stadium.



Same view at Headingley £30!

Its like banging your head against a brick wall.

Not really the point is it?

It never is.

Presume you are a Hull fan?



Glad you find it amusing that your club is so eager to discourage away fans travelling. Why should we when we are getting ripped off like this?



How would you feel if you turned up at Headingley for the return fixture and got charged £26 to stand on the Western Terrace instead of a Leeds fan being charged £20? still be laughing then?

Well, it's not. It would be the point if the Central Carnegie Stand seats were the same as other parts of the ground and was generally the place designated to away fans. But it's not, so it's not the point.

What Hull have done is firstly brought in the pre sale price of 23 quid for the north stand, this brings it inline with the rest of the stadium, and is clearly so the club can anticipate away fans numbers.



The South stand has been discounted 4 quid (now 19) per ticket as a thank you and apology to the dross served up for the past few years in a effort to stop the crowds dwindling.



The full stadium is priced at



South Stand £19 £15 £10

East Stand (Reserved) £24 £19 £12

East Stand (Unreserved) £23 £19 £12

West Stand (Reserved) £24 £19 £14

West Stand Family Stand (Reserved) W1 and W2 1 ad + 1 jun £25 2 ads + 2 juns £50

North Stand £23 in advance £25 on gate £19 £14



The prices are quite fair across the board Leeds fans can sit were ever they want, although I expect (like I would) you'd like to stay together in the North.

You don't honestly believe that do you?

Have you seen our average attendance over the last few years?



Do you think its discounted just to you off?

I love how these threads drift up every 2 weeks on different boards as they realise Hull FC are shysters ripping them off and then the Hull Fans try to justify it by quoting back said clubs most expensive stand and missing the point massively.

With out the discount the North and South would be the same price.



Both a quid cheaper than the most expensive stand.



Should the club not try to get back thousands of lost home supporters?

Yes they should, but being so open that your ripping off the away fans is stupid; I'm assuming there is something in place to stop away fans from using the south stand?



Why don't you do what every other club does and discount the season tickets, not individual tickets? How many away fans would kick up a fuss if your season ticket was £50/100 less then normal, none?

Yes but don't do it at the expense of travelling fans, unless you want a morgue for all but the KR game, fans have long memories.

The 23 quid price is not at expense of the away fans.



I agree with the 2 quid late fee and the 2 quid on juniors for the north.

The season pass tickets haven't had a massive change in numbers, its the walk up numbers Hull are losing.

and annoying the away fans will help with walk up fans?

I don't believe the board could have thought people would react this way.



I think the reaction has been over the top, people are attacking the wrong issue with the pricing, which I have already stated what that is.
