| Wait till you get to Uni, then you will be paying for everything other than council tax! (Including dentist/doctors ect) Despite being in full time education. When I was at college I worked any job I could, and have worked since I was 13 to pay for things like Season Tickets ect. ATEOTD you should be working if you want to afford such luxuries such as Rugby matches. Not being funny but just because you are young doesn't mean you should have special exemptions, the club runs on a tight budget and by the time someone is 16 their heart is either in the club or not and money doesn't matter to the individual any longer. The club runs on a watertight budget and at £6-odd a game is a bargain. Don't mean to be patronising but thats how these things work IMO.

Under 16's in the majority cant get part time jobs and don't receive ema.
College Students do in the main receive ema and you should be working a part time job it'll help you when looking for jobs later in life.
I've paid these prices and i've paid for away tickets too; it is doable and all students throughout the country pay the same prices for rugby tickets.
A shirt get it for x-mas.
Your talking nonsense and you need to budget your money.
agreed. im 21, at uni and have been through it all... you get a job. end of

| I can understand the argument about student prices but at 95 quid it's a steal for me. As for the point about fitting it around college work, get a weekend job. May only be part-time 7 hrs a week but that's still 32 quid a week roughly on minimum wage. You can always do extra hours during holidays. Just send your CV out to local businesses or even better, go in personally. A lot of stores will be looking at getting temp staff in now for Xmas.

| The difference in pricing between a 15 years olds ticket and a 16 year olds ticket is simple.
A 15yo is a minor and needs to have an adult supervising them - therefore the club also sell a adult ticket which subsidises the cost.
A 16 yo is not a minor and can attend on their own.

| My sister attended Medical school ( cow got the looks and the brains) she worked 3 nights in a local Restaurant to get some cash. The student who needs to do 5 hours extra per subject is telling porkies, if my sister can qualify as a medical doctor on 10 hours extra revision in total per 7 day week, and still get a bar and waitress job, then so can anyone. The demands in that degree are higher than any other.
I know that you Students are lefty pinko commie types, but dont worry, once you qualify and get a job in middle management you will be middle aged Tory voters demanding a rise in the cost of leisure activitiesicon_biggrin.gif

A 'child' can get married and have sex legally at 16.
The irony meter is in overdrive here. We have some of the same posters lambasting the club for a £95 per season ticket on here and on another thread calling the club incompetent for not being able to pay the tax bill.
This is your challenge - do you want a club or not, if so, how much.
£95.00 for 14 (inc cup game) x 1.5hrs = 21 hours of entertainment = less than £5.00 per hour. There are few 'amusements' which would come as cheap as that.

| I am a student at leeds uni and i also work 12 hours a week in a shop to fund myself and have extra money for things like rugby matches. I dont buy a student ticket because i can't guarentee that i will get to enough home games to make it cheeper than buying individual tickets (£10 for a student if bought before game day) due to the fact that i often work sundays.
In my opinion £95 is a bargain and if i could gurentee i wouldn't be working sundays then i deffinatly would get a season ticket.
As for travelling to away games, i try and get to as many as possible depending on work commitments. I drive tl them so i have petrol to pay for aswell as my ticket which i have found for a student range from £10 to £14 for a student meaning that we have the cheepest student tickets. This shows that it clerly is affordable for a student to get to both home and away games and if you don't drive then the WISCA bus is a relitivly cheep way tgo get to away games.
To conclude my post i am going to say that students, of which i am one, should stop moaning about the cost of tickets and take advantage of the reduced prices while they can.

| About this time last year I was offered a Rhino's season ticket for £30!
I was at Headingley Uni at the time and it was a special offer for their students.
