No, we need to take nothing as your source claims Hughes is footing the bill. Why charge people for something that's already paid for when you know any ticket money received just reduces how much you would've got anyway? Do you honestly see sufficient numbers coming to make it worthwhile charging (i.e more than £500k in ticket revenue)? I don't, so from a business perspective TK should just bank the cash knowing that by not charging more people will come and spend in the bars.
tbh if this is genuine then it has to be one of the daftest deals I've come across and if someone offered to top-up my next years wages to 500k regardless of what I earned then I'd take a year off knowing that I'm quids in regardless.

there is the point that no mention of 2015 ticketing has been mentioned by the club yet....

This is true and if it turns out to be free rather than the same as last year then you wont hear me complain about it.

It wouldn't be the first daft deal DH has done. Surely TK needed some sort of guarantee of income given it is unlikely crowds will be anything like that the initial deal would have assumed.

So GF claiming he bowed to peer pressure and decided not to share this bombshell doesn't sound the slightest bit suspicious to you?

So no shirts on sale before Xmas but a launch on Dec 11 - see club website.

Still a little concerned about a lack of info on tickets/memberships ...
