Can you find where I have said the season starts with play offs?
I've got a season ticket and have been to all but two of the games on it and will also be there for the play offs regardless. But if you have the chance of playing two identical games where it only matters if you win the second then people aren't going to turn up.
The club or RFL must be slightly concerned hence the drop in kids prices. They don't go far enough in my opinion. Buying a season ticket gets you into games for £14/15. The extra cost of attending two extra games is too much for people.

Read it properly. i didn't say you. Try watching the Wire from a distance, then you'll spend some money. £19 to watch good class RL is cheap. Give me a football club where you can get a good game for that sort of money.

You quoted my post where I'm complaining abut the prices, said they're disappointing, and mentioned the first game doesn't mean much by saying you're amazed when people complain about the prices, say they are disappointed and mention that the first game is meaningless. You've even included speech marks.
Then you go onto say 'How many excuses do you want to make'. I don't think anybody else has complained so far so I guess 'you' means me.
Is £19/20 value for money for Warrington v Wigan? It's not a bargain but it's alright. Is £19/20 value for money if you have to pay it again two weeks later for the same game? Maybe, but it de-values the first game, surely.
If it is to be us v Wigan twice, it might not be an issue but you can bet if play off attendances are low for the play-offs in general, people will be looking for answers again, and the answer is that the thought of paying out for two, possibly three play off games and then a final (with no concessions) from the same months wages (not forgetting this weekends game), then it means people will prioritise and skip the early play off rounds.

People have been saying the same thing all season. Then when it comes to the play-offs they've got yet another ready made excuse. If we don't support our own club we'll finish up in the condition that a few others are in. in my opinion £19 to watch Wire v wigan or Leeds is a bargain.

Yes. It will be interesting to see how their crowd compares to what they might expect from a season ticketed game. If its not much down then the offer has worked. If it is still quite a bit down, then the offer means they have simply lost money. I think this would be the argument of our club - they don't feel discounted tickets bring in enough extra people to offset the loss. I'm not convinced either way.

It's £10 for the first 5,000 but will be extended I guess if it goes well

Is that the first 5,000 from Huddersfield, or both Clubs? From what I can remember, last time Huddersfield had a home play-off game they drew about 4,300, last year I think we got over 8,000. If we gave that sort of discount we would have to fill the HJ to be anywhere near breaking even.

But instead of a damp atmosphere from a half empty stadium, you get a packed stadium, so better atmosphere, and all the extra drinks/food/programme sales that come with the additional punters inside the ground ...... and as (IIRC) ticket sales go to the RFL to be shared amongst the playoff teams, these on site revenues are what the home team actually benefits from!
