| Hi,
I have just been reading this thread ([url=http://forums.leagueunlimited.com/showthread.php?t=358191forums.leagueunlimited.com/showthread.php?t=358191[/url) on another forum where our aussie friends are complaining about the NRL ripping fans of for the price of merchandise but do you think the same happens over here.
I know my shirt cost me £40 this year which is a lot but if you have a family you will be looking around £140 quid which is a hell of a lot especially at the moment.
Do any clubs run any special promotions for members/season ticket holders etc.

| I know Hull give a £10 disount voucher on merchandise with season passes. It's not much but better than nowt. Anyway no one forces you to buy a shirt. It's like any luxury purchase, if you can afford it then buy it, if not then tough.

| RL is the best sport in the world and it is cheaper than all it's main rivals. Great value. You pay so much for shirts because of the companies who make them.
Wigan is great value.
£26 for juniors for the season.
3rd cheapest season tickets.
3rd cheapest matchday tickets.
Loads of offers throughout the year.
This weekend you can watch 7 super league games for £24.
Anyone who says RL is a rip off is really daft.
A Man United season ticket is over £700+ and on top of that you are expected to buy all the FA cup, league cup and Champions league tickets for £40+.

| I think we are really lucky that our sport is so cheap to watch, especially for the family. The shirts are the same price as football shirts but are betterv quality in most cases, also i think that the older shirts look better in league, so normally a fan will buy a shirt and keep it for a few years. I always look on ebay for international shirts or old Leigh tops rather than buy the newer ones anyway.

| I dont like the material used in RL shirts.
It's better quality but it doesnt half make people sweat and stink in summer.
I actually think the players jerseys are much better value for what you get

| Standing on an open away end on a cold, windy, wet night for £20 is daylight robbery.
Changing playing kit yearly is just taking the biscuit.

| At least with the NRL shirts the design is kept for 3 years, so if you buy a shirt when its released you've got 3 years of it being up to date,
Unfortunately for me I've bought Warriors 02, Dragons 05, and Storm 09 in the last year of use,

| RL is an expensive habit for families compared to other forms of entertainment.
£21.40 for a family ticket to the local cinema
£28- £108 Family to sale sharks ( they have a wide ticketing model)
£32.00 family ticket wrestling at Theatre royal
£41- 55 family ticket chester zoo
£62-68 Camelot Theme park
£64 for equivalent to watch Saints
It certainly gets a lot cheaper if you get season tickets but that's a lot of commitment.
RL can be a cheaper habit for families compared to football and other live events
£40-120 Wigan
£100 - 120 Liverpool FC
Arena Concerts £100 - 200+
I don't feel ripped off BUT it is noticeable that their are less families in RL and less younger fans not only because of pricing but also evening fixtures. The fact that a number of your teams games are on SKY doesn't help either.
And we haven't even started on Home entertainment
I would like to see more imaginative pricing and more one off reductions to boost attendances and ongoing fan support.
There should also be more incentive & reward for season ticket holders as well they deserve better than a reduced ticket price, few quid off merchandise and priority for cup games for their continued loyalty and outlay in difficult times.

| Season ticket holders get 10% off at the Oneills shop in Widnes. Tops are usually around the £40 mark so that doesnt bother me.

| Biggest rip off is Sky TV. I don't subscribe and never will unless it gets an awful lot cheaper to watch RL or they introduce PPV for games.

| £20 for some games just isn’t common sense.
Not when you can have a good night out on the town for less.

Freebies and hustling my friend.
One night I went out with £20 and came home with £24 thanks to a bit of the old ticket touting. Another night I was sipping either Laurent Perrier or Dom Perignon for free. Can't remeber which one because I was too busy having the rare chance of living it up!

| On a more serious note a majority of long term season ticket holders are ripped off when people can obtain free tickets for a majority of matches when their simply just know someone at the club whenever its a player or backroom staff.
Whilst I agree with corporate ticketing. I find getting tickets off the club because your a friend or a relative pretty wrong when a majority have to fork out a lot (to them) to watch a rugby league match.
I doubt its a big problem though it reaks of capitalism.

| It may be different when they move to the new stadium, but I think Saints is expensive for what's on offer.
£19 adult entrance allows me to stand on a crumbling terrace; visit the toilet and p**s against a wall (no urinals, or hand washing facilities); and purchase overpriced, inedible burgers and pies.
Admittedly I get to watch Saints, but on the downside I have to watch some other team as well.

Hull used to give a discount, that then stopped and they gave away a free hat - season ticket holders hat, that then stopped when free entrance was given to the rd4 challenge cup games. So Hull have not given a discount in a number of years, if it has then I have missed out for some reason.

| I don't consider it a payment for the shirt as a garment. It's more a contribution to the club for which you get something back.
