£24 on the day actually compares not too unfavourably with other SL clubs bearing in mind you are getting covered seating as opposed to uncovered terracing, but a BIG increase on what is paid now and this is what will get all the focus. No indication if £3 pre purchase saving will continue.

Pricing structure seems to have no flexibility ie a flat £24 regardless of opposition, time of match and whether on Sky or not. Can see certain games where there will be minimal take up at £24.

I would have a 3 tiered on the day pricing structure starting at £15 for likes of London, £20 for mid tier opposition (Wakey, Cas, HKR) and the £24 for Leeds, Wigan.

No problem with the new prices for 2013 season.
The problem is we have had three years of subsidised prices, and it comes as a bit of a reality check when we have to cough up an increase to up to date prices.
Compared to other clubs the prices are ok. and compared to soccer we are very cheap indeed.
If we sell 2500 tickets instead of 5000 they will get the same amount of money as last year, but we will end up with lower crowds in the stadium which will not look good.
Therefore it would have been a better idea to increase prices by £20 - 30 and get the same take up as last year, and the next year by the same amount to minimise the effect of a large increase.
If they do reach last years take up all well and good, and it will bring more revenue in, but can`t see it happening after the teams poor displays over the second half of the season. (the players have really let KD down badly).

jammie, thanks for making me aware that it was solely Bradford Bulls supporters who raised the £500k. With that in mind, I'd like my £10 donation back please. I withdraw my support based on being mildly irritated by bell-ends such as yourself. Thanks in anticipation.

Doubling prices will put many off. If the clubs ambition is a 10000 average fan base then what plan do they have for this?

They could always buy the Bulls, change their name to the Hubrasheff, Giant bull eagles !
Get £1.5 million back for merging, then inherit all the fans.
Hey presto 10,000 plus gates.

Thanks for the donation, unfortunately i won't be giving it back.
Personally, i don't care what your opinion of me is, however, i feel that Mr Mcmanus has hit the nail on the head regarding some clubs being envious of us, and would like us to fail in our bid for survival, and are therefore targetting our players should this happen.
Vultures, i think they are called, preying on the weak.
I think Hudds were the club he was inferring.

Do take your f***wittery elsewhere. This thread is about season tickets rather than the embarrassing farce of the Bull's finances. McManus is plenty worried about neighbours Warrington getting Bateman and was less than dewy eyed when Saints signed Gleason when the Giants were relegated. i wonder if eamon will think any of the Bulls bidders are 'fit for purpose'?...maybe not.

vultures don't so much prey on the weak...they prey on the dead. HTH

jammie I demand my donation is refunded by you personally within the next 7/14/28/56 days, or I shall be consulting my legal adviser, Mr Caisley.

i would get a new solicitor did he not tell the Bulls board there was no problem in them signing Iestyn Harris

He has assured me that he can take bring them down. No win, no fee.

end of the day only so long ken davy could dig into his pockets before raising prices and with the last 3 - 4 seasons of good prices cant understand peoples complaints

what hasnt helped him is this nathan brown / players saga this season putting fans of coming in the first place never mind at higher prices but i will deffo be getting another one

How do you know i am not CC ?

So one of the clubs stated ambitions is to get to the magic 10,000 average crowds. How do they get closer next season?

All this talk about cheap prices for the past few seasons is garbage.

Granted a year or two back we had the £50 season tickets, but at all other times they have been 'standard. What were they 2 years ago? Similar to next year if my memory serves me correct.

Some people will moan about anything, players, PA, ticket prices.

We need to take a leaf out of GiantDaz's Facebook page "The Huddersfield Giants 2012 'positive' thread - negativity will be deleted".

Only my opinion, mind.
