The sale of the season pass is a transaction between Hull FC and the customer, nothing to do with the SMC. £10 per Direct Debit is simply excessive, I can understand a minimal charge for setting up the Direct Debit but not £40 for a family of 4.

The sales of the passes is done through the SMC ticketing department and I assume the club pay for those services

The sale of a season pass is made via the SMC, not directly with the club!!

I don't mind the charge, there's no such thing as interest free anymore. it normally carries a charge!!

£10 per transaction, fine, £10 per pass is garbage.

And they are selling you something you wont use for another 5 months.

I'm not sure if it works the same way but this season at Goodison for season tickets bought via direct debit there was an additional £20 charge but it wasn't something the club just decided to do the direct debit company applied these charges to process, admin fees as they always call it so maybe it's not the club before you go up in arms.

I am not "up in arms", I know what it costs to set up a DD, it's 47p, even with the most expensive high street bank, there is no excuse for £10 per DD.

And for 3 payments, it's almost 7% of each payment, even the Dick Turpin Waulddy's charged a little less than that!

Its exploitive to the extreme. And in today's financial climate, they should be looking to find a better way around.

How about freezing pass prices for people that pay in full, and charging the extra for DD payments. As you said as well, not like we have anything for our cash until feb.

It is excessive I agree, I did for the football too but luckily I didn't have to pay DD for mine but as I said it's probably not the clubs fault the company putting the capital forward to secure the passes are, more than likely, adding this on as admin fees. I think it's them you should be aiming your posts at.

Well if it's finance and underwritten by a bank then its a damn site more than 47p. It's a finance charge simple as that!! If you don't want to pay an extra £10 then pay the £230 in full... Simples
