More sensible gate prices too, although I still despise this idea of cheaper if you pay in advance (although that's not limited to the Bulls by any stretch).

The price drop might have removed a hurdle for me as far as going back, but since this year I'll very much be playing it by ear and deciding on the day (thanks to factors completely unrelated to Rugby League), the additional cost of paying on the gate puts me back in the camp of it just being a little too much.

Only just though now. They're not as stupidly unreasonable as they were under "Give me all your money" Chalmers.

Agreed regarding the on the day price increases. As you said its not just us but an RL thing. I just don't see the business sense of it. They won't be huge numbers who decide on the day to go, so a couple of quid here and there over 13 games is peanuts. Yet that price increase will put some off, even off principal alone and loses the club £20 each time someone decides not to go. I know it's a balancing act in getting the prices right so we make money and but not too expensive in ripping people off.

I think they've got the prices right. Many brought season tickets under Chalmers prices so they couldn't make them so cheap that ST holders lost out.

I think you have to remember that there are no takings during the close season(save perhaps Xmas sales in the shop) and the club still has out goings, so needs to get some cash in. Offering a discount for tickets bought in this period is just one way of 'evening out the cashflow' as few would bother until the last minute, without the incentive.

To be clear, I'm not referring to the early bird on season tickets, I totally get the reasoning for that and tend to agree with it.

It's the per-game tickets that I mean. Where I can't see them getting the money on Thursday instead of Sunday makes a massive difference. The only real logic I can see is that if they get most people buying in advance, they have a better idea of how many are turning up and therefore what staff to put on. But I tend to agree with Bull Mania, it's going to have the effect to put some poeple off going entirely.

Do they do it in other sports or is it just RL? (Genuine question, I don't attend any other sports)

So can anyone clarify.. if I was to take either of my kids under 5... where would I need to get a ticket from.. is this an online job or do they actually expect you to go to the ‘team shop’ wherever that currently is... I’ve lost track

yes dg it will be about planning, and that could include marketing effort to get the numbers up. Not seen it in Union football or speedway but some small venues do it for gigs

Bradford City home game tickets increase by £5 when bought after 5:00 pm the day before the match.
