I think Rl undervalues itself, most other sporting events charge much more, paying just shy of £40 for pretty average seats at the indoor athletics pay loads and loads more for NFl. really don't think £24 to stand up and £36 high end seats is that bad, you pay £40 -£50 to see a band nowadays even moderately successful bands in 2k venues arenas showed £60-£80. i pay £40 a pop to go on a dive boat for the day fishing boats are £40-£50 it like £12-15 for a movie. Rl is great Value and Leeds Rhinos are one if not the British Games premier club.

Yeah agree with the last bit, certainly regarding Leeds. Not convinced the sub standard facilities at places like Cas and wakey can keep raising prices. The 1 positive aspect is both sides play a good brand of RL , however that isn't all the supporter wants nowadays. They want a full day out, to be pampered, a luxurious meal, a guest speaker and to be treated like VIPs. Leeds Saints Hull can cater for this in abundance and make a killing, especially on none match days.

I was told Leeds make their money through corporate and sponsors and need a 10k crowd to make a profit. they do it well to be fair

Compared to PL football RL is a cheap - the Southstand is as good a viewing stand as any

Yep, hence Friday night games.

The new restaurant in the north stand will take another 450 people so at £100/head that a cool £45k just one restaurant - its more than some clubs take for the whole match

A friend has a table at every game in the pavilion/north stand. He was telling me pre-xmas that they tripled the prices for a table in the new south stand. He didn't get rich by accepting that sort of deal so has stuck with the old prices in the old place. He told me the prices but I'd had a few so it's long gone. The potential is mouthwatering, but the club was bricking it when they flirted with relegation. It could have been catastrophic.

Does anyone know how Castkeford's new stadium is coming on?

Really - that is untrue as there are no tables in the new Southstand - there weren't any on the old either

You are correct that the club were very concerned at the impact of on field performances on commercial revenues - however there concerns were unfounded as are conjecture on where the new stadium that Cas. are going build are.

There are indeed new private boxes in the new stand but you cannot compare the cost of those to anything else as Leeds never had anything like that in the past. Logically if you wanted to move to upgraded facilities you would expect to pay more.

Why would have a chip on my shoulder - Leeds are not playing in a stadium that is in the same state as it was 40 years ago and the two games that have really mattered over the past 10 Leeds have won. I would suggest its you.

If this turns into a slap fest between tigertot and others, posts will be moved on to the trash bin.

The ground is looking brilliant, Leeds RL have done a fantastic job, There is something for everyone, and while the prices have increase some say by 20% for the South stand the facilities are now second to none. The new Stadium boxes, I have been told they are all sold, £30k plus VAT for a twelve seater box, In addition a number of other suites from as little as £750 plus VAT per member per season in the Rhinos Restaurant up to the Directors suite at £2250 plus VAT per member for the season. Friday nights are going to be brilliant either turn up and watch the game or have a meal and some entertainment make a full night of it. The cost of the build is huge and if the way forward to get the debt reduced is no make money on the food and the corporate side then I wish it all the success. We have choices, we make our decision and we all therefore support our team in one way or the other.

How many of the 12 seater boxes are there?

12
