Tend to agree, unfortunately we don't have enough adult paying fans to offset revenue lost with such a policy.

id like to see that, but it wont happen.
dont get me wrong,
id pay a fiver a week on the gate. i know this works out at £65 pounds for a season ticket, and i know i was complaining about 95, but a fiver a week is easy, people would pay this, it would get crowds in.
the gate prices atm are rediculous
and "do you want fries with that" pretty low comment?
a personal remark or just an attack on students?

| I agree, just for the fact that I have been looking for a job for I don't know how long now and and still cant afford to pay for necessities like clothes never mind spend the best part of £100 on a season ticket just for home games. I'll admit that I do like to go to as many away games as possible, but for the season coming I can see a few students like myself struggling to pay for the season ticket and the away tickets without sponging off parents that can barely afford it in the first place.

| So, after readin posts on other threads, its apparent that Wakefield College are funding some part for the Newmarket project?
So if Wakefield College can fund for our ground, why can't the Wakefield Trinity club sort out some kind of offer for Wakefield Trinity supporting students?

They are doing, by offering a season ticket which estates to £6.80 a match. Almost half the price of an adult ticket.

For a 16 year old, it would cost £7.30 a game for 13 home games.
For a 15 year old, it would cost 77p a game for 26 games.
Yet they are both still in full time education??????

| To see if the club is being short-sighted, it has to be put into the context of the going rates. The other clubs are charging the following for students next year:
Bulls - £100
Cas - £108
Hudds - £105
Leeds - £2 off (bronze membership)
Saints - £118
Wire - £121.
The others weren't available (I went through the links from the Super League site, and the Salford link on the badge at the top took me to the Cincinnatti Reds site)
So we seem to be the cheapest for students in Super League at the moment. Put posters up in the colleges and tell all your friends. At last we are doing something to attract young people!

| Tbh, I don't expect to be paying the same prices as Huddersfield, Leeds, Saints and Warrington for my season ticket, not when the rugby we have been seeing recently doesn't deserve that sort of price, but that is only my opinion.

Students seem to come just under concessions at Bradford, and so I'm not sure you're right about that. It wasn't exactly clear, because it talked about students just getting a discount on the gate (unless that was a discount off the young adult ticket). I couldn't see anywhere with a clause describing "young adult".

I LOVE WAKEFIELD TRINITY WILDCATS.....
AND FOR ME THERE IS NO BETTER TEAM IN THE SUPER LEAGUE TO FOLLOW!!!!!: |
|
| whats the problem? i really dont get it. School students should get it cheaper. 16+ still in education should still pay that little more. simply because they are able to work. Dont get me wrong ive had student tickets up until last year but when it came to getting them i went and did extra hours coaching or working. whats the god damn problem!

Yes a little bit more, but when juniors are £20 and students are £95, its a big difference.
In a few other clubs, students pay double the amount of what juniors pay.
