When you have travelled extensively around the world this is the sort of thing that you see all the time in areas of the "developing world" such as Hull. There are two sets of prices; one for the locals and another that is charged to tourists.

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.

Charge them £30 for the west stand when they come to the HJ then with the extra £11's they can be shared between the fans who go to the KFC by showing their ticket as a receipt. We get our £6 back & Wires make a fiver too.

Its not Hull Fc who decide the prices for tickets to the KC, its the SMC, Stadium Management Company, owned by Mr Allam. An Egyptian buisness man who owns Hull City, gives donations, £1,000,000 to Hull Kr and is desperate to obtain the KC from the Council for free.

If fans can get tickets for the South Stand, then do so. You will be made more than welcome, and the pubs nearby, i.e. Parkers and West Park, always make you welcome.

As for the £5 parking charge, try the park and ride from Priory, you pass it on your way to the ground along the A63 just after the Humber bridge, cheaper parking and regular free buses to and from the stadium.

Hope to see loads of you soon.

stonesy, the SMC do not decide the price of tickets for FC or the Tigers for that matter. The clubs themselves set the tariff as AP confirmed at last nights FF.

Hull FC owner Adam Pearson said on Radio Humberside this morning that the cost of away end tickets will be £23 and be the same as last season. He said he did not know where people got the idea it would be £25. £23 is still a bit expensive but better than £25.

Best wishes for the season.

Looks like they're subsidising their reduced price south stand tickets by swindling the away contingent.

a rovers fan accusing fc of swindling, oh the irony haha

as said, its £23 if you purchase before game day, same as last season


as for away supporters been charged more in the north than the fc fans in the south, the club will be targetting returning fc fans, not warrington or other away supporters who will only visit once a season

I agree the price is steep but it wouldnt matter if we charged £10 for away fans, the north stand would still be empty every other game.

Re: Hull Ticket Price : Thu Jan 19, 2012 6:21 pm  

Still charge more for food and drink in the away. Which might not be the fault of Hull Fc but they shouldnt be allowed either.

take your own food into the ground and plenty of pubs in the surrounding area if you want a drink

fc have no say on food and drink outlets within the ground
