Yeah good come back

I'm assuming you're a Wigan fan based on your sig and the fact that Wigan come to the KC on Friday.

So would you like to let everyone know how the prices at the DW differ between the North and South ends?

£23 for home fans in the East Stand the same as away fans if pre purchased before hand.

Replies like just don't bother coming then are a nonsense and pretty pointless. I'll be coming along but do feel like I've been ripped off. I go to all games though and wouldn't want to miss this as it's set up to be a really good match but that doesn't make this right.

At all of the all seater stadiums on superleague it's cheaper to sit behind the posts then it is along the touchline so again the other replies like 'Hull fans pay the same in the east stand' are pretty irrelevant.

The cold hard facts are Hull are ripping off away fans and I don't expect the FC fans to apologise for that or try to give an explanation but it's a fact. The club or possibly the stadium owners have history for this as well with petty things like charging more for a pint in the away end then in the home sections. The figures for both that and even the ticket prices aren't huge but it could be a penny and it'd still be out of order.

Like I say I'll be there regardless but this certainly doesn't buy the Hull club any good will from other clubs and the risk is the Hull fans will pay the price for this at other grounds.

All pretty sad really.

You may sit anywhere you like in the stadium. If you choose not to you can hardly complain that you've been 'ripped off'.

you are entitles to sit on the sides at the KC and pay the same £23 as the home fans should you wish to do so. There were Wigan fans near us last season. No one makes you go in North stand, it is simply that stand is designated for AWAY fans. you simply pay more if you pay on the day.

i've seen wigan fans sit in the west stand and east stand before, one even sat next to us a few years ago! you have a choice

Baring in mind what NickyKiss says about even a penny difference being out of order I will ask again. How much do Wigan charge an away fan to sit in the North, and how much do they charge their own fans to sit in the south?

Well played sir

It is wrong to charge more to away fans, the price would still be very high even if it was the same for both.

If away fans are free to choose where to sit then do Hull send tickets for each stand to the opposition club to sell before the game?

for the last time ticketing is done through the SMC not HULLFC

as far as I am aware when purchasing away tickets for HULLFC games away fans are usually allocated the North stand. however as has been pointed out can sit in other stands if they wish to do so.

Ummm you obviosly don't need me to tell you the answer to this and after a bit of digging as you know it's a pound more then we charge the home fans. I'll hold my hands up to that and admit I didn't know that but one thing I won't do is say things along the lines of 'don't bother coming then' or 'just sit in the home ends' because like us you guys shouldn't have to do that.

Wigan are then indeed ripping away fans off as well and it's out of order and needs looking at. I'll admit that because I don't believe everything Wigan does is perfect and above being a Wigan fan i'm a rugby league fan and have thought for a little while that superleague clubs needs to start looking at it's pricing structures as one or two clubs are getting a bit out of hand. This is a working class game at the end of the day and a family sport and a lot of people are finding things tough enough without crafty clubs trying to fleece them out of a few bob.

I may be miss-reading, but tickets for the Wigan/KR game seem to be going for £20 when bought from the rovers shop.

Yet in the south stand at DW, an adult ticket can be had for a mere £19 on the day purchase.

I have this strategy I like to employ, and I'll share it with you now:

If I think something is too expensive, I don't buy it.

Without wanting to turn this into a hull / hkr thread. But since hkr have been in SL their south end (which is so far south it's virtually in lincolnshire) had been £10 for anyone wanting to stand there, unless it was the game against Hull FC when the price shot up to £18.

We've hardly had any away fans at the KC since it opened anyway, even if it was free the same clubs would bring the same numbers, so the club has just put the prices up to reflect that.

I think if teams were putting prices up for certain games it would be out of order, but different stands I'm not so sure.

Same for Hull KR however we do travel to the KC in bigger numbers then Hull fans to Craven Park. Hopefully that will change when the North stand is completed.

North stand, you say? Tell us more!

Erm it will sit somewhere around....................................HERE

Even like that, it is an improvement on the South Stand!

Ask the Huddersfield fans if they paid a tenner last month.

What Huddersfield fans?....


...Oh Snap!

Just for the record:

The prices haven't gone UP in the away stand. They've gone DOWN in the home stand. This has been done to encourage home support.

Are Hull the only team that charge away fans more than home fans? I'm not sure, this is a genuine question.

And as for the comment "how would we like it if clubs started charging us more when we visit", Hull KR have been charging us nearly double of everyone else for the worst stand in SL. We aren't victimising clubs, we charge blanket prices to everyone. Rovers have been trying to take advantage for years, and then complain when we don't want to turn up!

It's business. If you don't like it, don't come. The club will see this and try and do what they can to change it. But the fact that we barely ever get that many for away games anyway, I can't see it changing for a while.

There were plenty of them at last home game.
