| If you think it isn't a fair price for the product then don't go. Simple. If you think it's an unfair price but pay it anyway then you're a mug. RL teams are businesses, and if the punters are prepared to keep paying, they'll keep charging.
Injustice? Uh-huh. Right. Bit of perspective needed perhaps?

| Quote: Fat Boy "I'm guessing that you have dismissed my argument as you have no reasonable explanation.
..and you are another one totally missing the point and trying to disguise this gross injustice by clouding the argument with irrelevant waffle.
The question has been asked time and time again but as yet NO-ONE has given a satisfactory answer. Why are the away supporters charged £6 more than the home support to watch the same game from the same standard of seating?'"
What a drama queen.

It's not an excuse for me, it's the sole reason I won't be attending - for the first time since the move to the KC.

| Earlier on this year, when I read about the differential between the North and South stand pricing at the KC, I emailed Hull FC and warned the club there'd be complaints such as yours. The reply was as Sheldon pointed out, reward for the home fans for loyalty. Unfortunately, I knew away fans wouldn't wear this. It may change soon but Wigan brought a reasonable following the other Sunday and if away fans keep on turning up then it probably will stay in place.
On the other side of the coin, I've not gone through the entire thread but to get into Headingley to stand is £20 for an away fan. Then if you want to sit down like every speccie at the KC does regardless of where they are, it's £5 more at the cheapest, then £7 more or £10 more if you want to sit in the middle at the end. And those were last season's prices, don't suppose there's been an increase.
If it cost you more to sit down at the KC as an away fan than at Headingley as an away fan, then I'd have a bit more sympathy with your indignation.

| I once went to Hull...and managed to get home OK with no damage to myself or my car.
Life is too short to push my luck and ever visit again.
It's scary enough visiting Headingley when Hull are in town!

Dear me.
Posts like this are why I rarely venture on here.

It's a well reasoned argument...if you want to sit down.
Most modern rugby league grounds are built with large amounts of standing (Warrington, St. Helens, Salford) precisely because people want to stand up. I hate sitting down, and most away fans spend a lot of their time on their feet. At the KC you have no choice - you have to pay for a seat.
What really matters is the minimum that it can cost you to see the game - at the KC for away fans it is £25, at Headingley for away fans it is 20% cheaper than that at £20.
I'll admit now that I am not going. It will be the first game at the KC that I have missed. This is partly because it is on SKY, partly because I don't fancy a late night home from East Yorkshire, and partly because £50 (for two) + petrol + something to eat means that it is just too expensive! It has pushed me over my acceptability threshold.
If you are treating a twenty pounds home ticket as a 'reward' then you are easily pleased, or duped. Everyone else in Superleague is playing £20 for a ticket behind the sticks and that's a standard price with no reward involved.
It's not acceptable behaviour from Hull and in my opinion all away supporters should consider boycotting the KC until parity is restored. Which is a shame, or perhaps the intention?

Unfortunately, this is a well spread myth. Away fans can sit anywhere they want to at the KC, reserved season pass seats excepted.
So you can actually take advantage of the South Stand seats at £19 if you so wish.

My emotive language was specificity selected to rile our Eastern brethren, I would have thought someone with your intellect would have seen this.
I'm not going, didn't really have any intention of going, regardless of cost but do you think I'd have passed up the opportunity to have a dig at the Hullians?

You're like my very own stalker - you following me around and pop up from time to time with, frankly, poor retorts.
If you're going take a shot at least put some effort in - at least I try.

They can, however the North Stand tickets (£23 in advance) are supplied to the away team for sale prior to the game, inferring that the away fans should be seated there. In the same way that Leeds supply Western Terrace tickets to the away team.

Yes but everybody is surely their own person. If you don't want to pay £25 to sit at one end, pay £19 to sit at the other. Just because Leeds are issued with "away" tickets doesn't force you to buy one.
Leeds may have issued Hull FC with "away" tickets to the Western Terrace every time we've visited Headingley but I usually sit in the North Stand.
You should watch the "Trainline.com" advert on the telly more often.
