Re: Hull Ticket Price : Thu Jan 19, 2012 6:40 pm
At face value, it does appear unfair to be charging away fans more than home fans for similar facilities. Conversely, it could also be viewed as the new owner deciding to reward the years of loyalty of the home fans.There also seems to be two arguments on her and I'm struggling to see any concensus: is it a problem with the absolute price or is the problem with the pricing differential?
Look at other grounds and there are differentials for away supporters: Wigan and Huddersfield for two. Then if you look at Leeds, they advertise all standing at £20 but the only standing available to away fans is also totally uncovered. £23 may seem excessive but when you factor in a seat and a roof over your head (quite apart from £2 going to the away club too), as compared to £20 to stand, with the opportunity to get soaked to the skin, the £3 differential don't seem that excessive.
