Semi tickets, who is being unethical ? : Sat Jul 04, 2015 4:55 pm  

Leeds have drawn the short straw in choice of venue and having to make that journey at the worst possible time. We take that on the chin. Who then decides that for the game standing tickets for Leeds fans are inflated by 25% compared to the other 3 clubs in the semis? It appears that standing prices are £20 for Saints, Warrington and Hull KR, yet we pay an extra £5 on normal match day entrance for some reason. Is it Wire being greedy, or have the RFL decided to stiff us another way for this match ?

we've got the side which is apparently more expensive on a match day for wire fans too

You can get a seat behind the sticks for £20.

Yup. The prices are reflective of the standing prices that are charged at those stadia for a normal matchday. No conspiracy here, move along.

Wrong. You are moving along too quickly kid.
Warrington v St Helens, next game.

West stand (Terrace) £20,
South Stand (Terrace) £20.

Leeds v St Helens Semi Final,

west stand (Terrace) £20
South Stand ( Terrace) £25.

The standing prices for both semi finalists at Headingley are both £20, which is the normal match day price for the South Stand and Western Terrace if pre purchased.

It is only Leeds out of the 4 clubs that have been charged the extra £5.

You were the little spotty kid at school who handed over his sandwiches without question when the school bully told him to do so.

Doesn't seem right, surely they'll be a logical explanation?!

As I'm a proud Yorkshireman I usually would go for the cheapest Ticket but on this occasion when there's Terrace available I'm not happy about it but I'll spend the extra £5!

Many doing the same?

There is no logical explanation what so ever for for increasing the entrance fee by £5 for Leeds fans when all the other clubs in the semis are paying the normal admission fee of £20. Supporters of no other club will ever have paid £25 to stand for a Challenge Cup semi Final. Why the RFL deem it fair to inflate our ticket price in such a blatantly discriminatory fashion is a mystery. I am going to the RFL headquarters this week and will seek answers as to why. We must always remember that our governing body works in mysterious, devious and troubling ways. This just confirms it.

The RFL probably want the stand behind the posts full, as it is one of the stands seen on tv, so have made that cheaper.

All teams have tickets available at £20 and £25. Some have some available at £30. I believe Leeds are the only club with seats available at £20. Nothing to complain about here.
