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.

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

rlAway fan pricing structure explainedrl

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.

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

At face value, it does appear unfair to be charging away fans more than home fans for similar facilities. Conversely, it could also be viewed as the new owner deciding to reward the years of loyalty of the home fans.

There also seems to be two arguments on her and I'm struggling to see any concensus: is it a problem with the absolute price or is the problem with the pricing differential?

Look at other grounds and there are differentials for away supporters: Wigan and Huddersfield for two. Then if you look at Leeds, they advertise all standing at £20 but the only standing available to away fans is also totally uncovered. £23 may seem excessive but when you factor in a seat and a roof over your head (quite apart from £2 going to the away club too), as compared to £20 to stand, with the opportunity to get soaked to the skin, the £3 differential don't seem that excessive.

Here's a suggestion: don't spend anything, stay in that vibrant, cosmopolitan metropolis that is Warrington. I can assure you, you won't be missed in Hull

So far for away fans i've got

1.Warrington £18.50 advance-£20 on day
2. Wigan £20
3.Saints £18.50 advance -£20 on day
4.Huddersfield £18 advanced £21 on day
5.Leeds £20
6. Catalans £13
7.Hull FC £23 advanced-£25 on day
8.Hull KR ?
9. Castleford £20
10. Bradford £16 advance-£20 on day
11. Wakefield £20
12. London £10 first game £15 thereafter
13. Salford £20
14. Widnes £20

if they are wrong let us know

I'll be there anyway but being pedantic, my ticket last year was £22 and not £23 (and was bought in advance)

As was mine, not that I'm complaining about the extra £1! I just don't understand why Hull are advertising that it's the same as last year?
