i always go in west stand upper so it will be nice not to get ripped off for once 28.50 last season

I have a season pass, so obviously have already paid, and the price per match works out as more than £15.

However I fully support the decision to offer these cheap tickets. Over the last year or 2 the derby attendances have fallen, and we don't want to risk gates falling further and the game being seen as a '2nd class' derby. It is Hull's biggest sporting event and needs to stay that way!

I don't care if the entire Upper West is filled with Rovers fans, at least they will be Rugby League fans enjoying one of the biggest games in the RL calendar and that's all that matters.

That's shocking, £5.50 admin fee is ridiculous. Out of interest who charged it, Rovers or Hull?

Hey peeps I have a ticket for sale for the north stand if anyone is in need??

Simple economics really. Sell at the standard price and if there is spare capacity sell at what the market will pay. Those who want to risk it in future might end up missing out.

This could not happen on a regular basis otherwise it would be Bradford bulls all over again.

Not so sure all of the 7000 or so people that have already bought tickets @ full price will think it's a great idea.

Annoying part of the 3100 Rovers fans isn't a problem for FC, but the 4000 odd Hull fans that already bought tickets as earlier as yesterday, might not be too happy. Seeing as much of this chunk of support will be the missing support AP is desperate to get back, might not be a great move to suddenly offer discounts.

FWIW I support the discount. A few more may now attend, but would imagine most who was intending to go will have bought tickets already. The freezing cold prospect of the west upper vs the warmth of the tv option - even at £15 may not persuade the average floater.

So AP is applying a discount for the derby? Good precedent set, let's see the reciprocal.

When the new north stand is open, and assuming nothing has or ever will be done @ the south end, I'd imagine the south terrace may be discounted in the future.

Maybe. Crowds are down though (ours too) and the CP derby hasn't sold out the last couple of years. Would make full sense therefore for Hudgell to be emulate Pearson's benevolence, assuming he's big enough. I don't mean tall enough, obvs.

The only real area of the ground that hasn't sold out is the south terrace. Which as it stands, is being discounted to all visiting sides @ £17. Well done Hudgell and good to see AP following suit too, discounting the 'subbuteo view' of the KC upper. I'm sure if we had 5000 spare seats we could maybe go down to £15 too.

For a seat. Under cover. From which you can observe the game. For £2 less than offered at CP. Which doesn't sell out. Hmmm....

But none the less operating @ or somewhere close to 98% of capacity each time.

As I originally said, should we in the future have an area of CP that isn't available to buy tickets for until 3 days prior the event. Then we too could possibly open up this area at a heavily discounted rate (to all) instead of it being otherwise empty. As it is, when we're operating @ close to our capacity, we have no real need (or facilities) to speculate to accumulate.

In light of this anyone git a north stand ticket for sale ??

Confusing keeping track with so many HDM articles, Rovers website interviews www.hullkr.tv/?v=126&pg=55 etc. There's probably little in it, but going with £15 in the South could provide a double winner - the guaranteed derby sellout Mike Smith has spoken to sponsors about and provision of evidence thereof, plus a goodwill gesture to reflect that of the benevolent AP.
