pre buy a ticket £22.50.... but usually the club state that prices will go up on the day, in this case this wasnt stated so i didnt pre buy (yes i know the club get commission but cant always make it down to the ground and we have to pay for postage)

then turn up at the stadium and its priced at £25!

why was there no warning about this?? yes its only £2.50 but thats now the point, its the principle that somewhere along the line st helens arent warning the giants ??

this has happened before.... and yes again it was st helens, in future for st helens games will pre buy as they are robbers not warning fans about the higher price on the day

Thought it was common knowledge prices would be more on the day and i'm sure it was in the information on the Giants website it would be £3 more on the day

That's absolutely scandalous, £25 for a juvenile ticket

no, sometimes prices dont go up on the day.

seems st helens put them up on the day and dont tell the other club

and no it didnt say on the website, i check every away game for a ticket if its cheaper to pre buy.

a reply for saints...

Firstly, thanks for taking the trouble to email in and secondly congratulations on a deserved win on Friday.



On the subject of your ticket price however I must apologise on behalf of the club here at St Helens RFC.

As you may imagine we took the decision to close the East Stand based on the level of ticket sales which then minimises cost of stewarding, turnstile operators and kiosk staff on the night. And we are able to re locate fans in the North Stand seated area with all the same facilities so as not to ruin the viewing of the game.

However, as you pointed out we failed to amend the ticket price for that area, which is higher due to it being seating over standing, hence you were charged the higher price of £25 on the night as opposed to the terrace price of £22.50.

We will therefore refund you the difference as a gesture and once again offer our apologies.

Good work saints!

So how much do you think Saints made from your ten travelling supporters? Hardly the con of the century is it.

More wakey fans on here than on their own board at times.

I suppose it makes a welcome break from wondering who is going to build them a stadium this week.

Thought they were getting one in 2010, meant 12, no 13, sorry 15, was it 17, might have been 19 then...

As you know, I don't often come on here these days, but I've got to write my support for Wakefield here.

A few years ago [can't remember when], they did massively upgrade their stadium...

...they built a new gents toilet block.

Fairs fairs, I say.

The ground might be a dump but at least we don't have to postpone games cos the stewards are off to Wembley with the local football team or move games from their scheduled dates to accommodate the main tenant at the ground.

You lot make me laugh because without Town and the money they generated from the sale of Leeds Road you would be still playing at Fartown.

No wonder the town chairman is annoyed about the fact you have an equal share in the stadium management company, especially as Town contribute the majority of the income to it and have paid for numerous improvements to the ground.

Instead of being all holier than thou you should be thanking your lucky stars you are in the fortunate position stadium wise off the back of the local football team and council.

Nine and a half really, brearley's only a juvenile so he's the one what's really got ripped off having to pay full price.

I'm sure your good at something edit , but comedy's not really your strong point is it?
