set to rise

Will be interesting too see what level they are pitched up and even more so what the take up will be.

Bradford has been cited as an example but at the end of the day when they needed cash they had 11,000 odd fans (whose deatails they had at hand) they could go to to try and raise funds and perhaps if they had more traditional season ticket prices and levels of sales they would have been looking at half that and might not have raised enough to still be going today.

The club need to generate more income for sure but if they will ever be in a position to do so be it through £50, £150 or £250 season ticket prices has to be a mute point and with things like Monday night games coming into the equation people might think twice about getting a season ticket and enticing them to most games without having their place pre-paid will be no easy feat.

Can't blame Ken at all for having to put prices up. He has kept them at an artificially low rate for a while. Time for the fans to do their bit if they are in a position to do so (still have a job etc).

It was a special offer anyway, so where is the surprise

I must admit, the number of Friday/Monday games we've been in has frustrated me

That said, I'll renew mine
Can't be sure of others I go to the games with though...

if they go up too much for you guys its only a short bus ride for you to the Shay. You would all be welcome.

Big game vs Fev on Thurs - come and test us out.

We tried it last season. Doesn't fit.

I'd go to Fax every week, trouble is i'd never get out the Pidgeons.

With the news that the Bulls may go extinct would it be good business to keep the prices low and maybe entice some of their supporters to us. I am not begging for their fans and the only reason I mention it is a friend of mine contacted me today and said if the Bulls do go under he and his family have decided that the Giants will be the place they will get their rugby fix. He has been watching Bradford for over 40 years and will always have them at heart, but like alot of us he needs rugby league on a weekend.
There could be a decent number that jump over.

... And a lot of them will live in Huddersfield already!

Put it this way £200 is not an extortionate amount for a season ticket. Twice at least what the majority paid. If our crowds don't go down by half then the club will be financially better off!
I know times are hard but I'd happily pay it- and if the club offer interest free instalment payments it would be affordable to a lot.

I agree and I am willing to pay it! I think another year at £50 will entice new supporters (Bulls) and then put it up the year after when they have fallen in love with us.

ha alot of bradford fans already live in hudds like someone said!

no complaints that the tickets will rise, we have had it good for a few years now really.

£99 last year for an adult i paid.... prob jump too £180?

fine by me, its been nice having a couple of 'cheap years' but we paid full before and most will probably do again.

if we win some silverware this season that will help!

As long as we keep the class players we have and add a couple of stars with the Brown/Gilmour cap money then would be happy to pay £180-£200 as long as the kids tickets stay at around £35.

What I wouldn't be happy with is that if after all us loyal ones have got our season tickets the club started doing all these offers for games such as £10 a pop etc.

Need to win some silverware and may hang onto some of the newbies even with a price rise.
