Sorry, but anyone know when you lot are starting to sell your North Stand tickets for the Derby please?

I've been to the shop and the response i got was KR are still waitin for FC to get beck in touch with us

Oh right, seems a little odd. Would have thought they would have been selling them now

I no cant understand whats goin on

Last year the KC derby tickets went on sale 4 weeks before the game. There are still 5 weeks to go yet.

Hull KR are complaining about the £1 extra that goes towards charity

Actually there's quite a lot of your own complaining about that too tbh. Personally I really don't understand the fuss, you know the price you're paying for the ticket, if you don't want to pay it then don't go.

Proof? Or it it backed up with your usual level of research?

we are not desperate for the money, we dont need to sell tickets weeks in advance

I believe we've not requested the tickets yet.

Don't ask difficult questions like that, he's still checking if Gary Wilkinson is a Rovers fan.

It is believed that Rovers are agrieved at the £1 extra on the ticket price.

Fc very nicely said they would donate the extra £1 to charity but it is the Rovers Fans who will be paying for it and not the 12,000 passholders they have.

If this is the case its another massive blunder by the FC marketing team. Surely they would have been better to say that tickets are x amount and then after the game announced a donation to charity and nobody would have been the wiser.

Rather than announcing the charge could have done bucket collections etc.

Isn't this his first post since he made them claims, he did disappear very quickly from here?

Understandable since Rovers operate such a consistent pricing policy and donate any differential to charity. Shameful double standards.

I think you may find out more news today!

I emailed Hull FC to ask them to clarify the situation regarding the charity donation from tickets being sold, and asked if they will also be donating a percentage of season ticket revenue for this game. ie if they are donating a pound from every ticket sold will they also be donating a pound from every season pass used for the game, meaning that if the attendance were 18000, then they would be donating 18000, this way Hull FC as a club would be making a donation. Alternatively, leave the price the same with them donating a pound from each ticket. As things stand at the moment the donation will be coming from anyone who buys a ticket, thus mainly Rovers fans, not Hull FC. If money is only going in from ticket sales, surely it would have been better to have had a bucket collection, then the Hull fans could have contributed aswell.

I'm still awaiting a reply...

It's Children In Need, so when all this Hull-Rovers bickering is put to 1 side, I really don't see any problems with making money for a very worthy cause.

We should set the tone by rising above this issue. I look forward to my opportunity to stand in a queue for 2 hours and buy my tickets.

What do you think of Rovers raising prices by considerably more than £1 for away supporters at certain games and pocketing the difference?

Even though £1 from our £215 pass that we have paid is going to children in need?
Get over it please
Whilst you are on with FC, ask them about the tickets for the North stand

I have no evidence that they have ever done this. Perhaps you can enlighten us?

Raising prices is completely different from not discounting. I thought I'd point this out before you answer.

Thank you, you have answered my query before your club managed to, that is all I wanted to know. So in that case the donation from the derby match will be in the region of the day's attendance. A credit to the rugby league supporters of the city.

I don't need to get over it, all I asked for was clarification.

Wouldn't seem much point asking about tickets for the north stand, they will probably be on sale before they reply

Once Rovers announce when they are going on sale, someone from my family will be there in the queue.

I think it is very good business

Sorry I owe you an apology, I missed the i.e. in your message.
I personally don't know if they are donating from season pass sales, I would hope that they are doing this, otherwise it is not good IMO.
