How often do Huddersfield plan on flogging tickets that cheap? And for how long will it be financially viable?

Are you coming to the game Will?

Depends how many they sell - if they get 15k instead of 5k then it will have been a well received promotion. Let's face Huddersfield have been flogging tickets this cheap for quite some time so it would suggest the strategy has some merit?

If they get 15k instead of 8k it doesn't work though does it, although I'm sure the astute owners of the club know where the break even point is - could we be seeing a realisation that the cow has been milked dry and a new realism needs to be applied to cover costs and to hell with the £20+ perceived valuation of a ticket ?

Too many knockers about the clubs trying to promote the game and make it affordable for families to come down and watch.

The weather has improved, the football is almost done, summer rugby, entertainment at affordable prices, and a fantastic all West Yorkshire cup tie, brilliant, stop knocking people who are trying to generate interest in a sport that's been struggling to interest people in watching it.

Can't wait!

Well Hudds are up in financial terms in my case. What would have been one £20 ticket sold has been turned into 4 £8 tickets plus the increase in drink/food etc due to persuading 3 mates to come who wouldn't have paid out for £20 tickets

This is more to the point.

2 @ £8 is much better than 1 @ £16 for a multitude of different reasons but mainly 2 people paying £8 each are more likely to buy 2 £3.50 burgers and 2 £3 beers.

The more folk through the gate the more they're gunna spend.

Well certainly is the case with us. It would have just been me and the old lad going at normal prices. With these prices it'll now be me, two sisters, both their chaps and my nephew and niece

They got £24 out of me today. I haven't been to a cup game in 3 years and my grandad hasn't been to a game at all in 2 but we have bought 3 tickets today. It seems to be working for the Giants anyway.

Which stand did you get tickets for?

Direct Golf Stand. Behind the sticks has sold out but because of the company I am taking to the game (2 guys in their 70's) I was getting these anyway.

FYI I don't think the Giants see a penny of the food and drink income on matchdays.

Stand to be corrected, but I believe it all goes to the Stadium Management Company.

Have we? i cant remember us selling tickets for £8 before never mind 'for some time' - this is obviously a one -off deal agreed between both clubs to get a decent crowd on TV.

In 2010 your season ticket price was £95 for 13 games so the equivalent of £7.30 a game? the price was the same for 2011!!

that was for certain tickets for 1 year, not something we've done for years as you've suggested.
