    Is it me or is it totally unjust on hull fans that we pay more for a ticket than away fans? My girlfriend is a blackpool fan and for the match she will pay £15 for her ticket in the away end while i will pay £16 for mine in the east stand!!

    It is bad, but I could donate that extra £1 if you wanted? ;)

    Just kidding, it is an injustice really.

    There should be a limit to what a Club can put a price ticket at for whatever League they're in. E.G. £30 Premier League £20 Championship, £15 League 1, £10 League 2.

    If they did that then there would have to be a salary cap for the players

    Are you both under age ?

    But agree away fans should pay more. Especially when they bring a large following. :wink: Sadly if Blackpool lose @ Cardiff on saturday that will hit the amount they bring. Was hoping that Blackpool would be top and us 2nd come tuesday.

    I'd say £25 Premier League; £18 Championship; £15 League One; £12.50 League Two

    Would that be a bad thing?

    We pay a pound more because we get to keep the three points. They pay a pound less because they have to back to their ****hole.

    It's a small price to pay.

    I think the official version is that pricing for away fans has to match the equivalent home stand with a factor for facilities, which is the south in our case.

    How are Blackpool's away tickets so cheap? I just noticed these prices for their game at Cardiff...

    Blackpool will head to Cardiff on Saturday 29 September for their next Championship away fixture.

    Tickets are priced at:

    - Adults: £21
    - Senior 60+: £14
    - 16-21year-olds: £14
    - Junior (Under 16s): £13

    125 seats are also available for families looking to travel to the game.

    Tickets for the family area are priced as follows:

    - Adults: £16
    - Junior (Under 16's): £4
    - Family ticket (Two adults and Two under 16s): £36

    Tickets for the family area will only be sold to adults accompanying children to the game. Family area tickets will also only be on sale from the club ticket office and will not be available for online purchase.

    Dunno, but it seems much cheaper than normal.

    We're allowed to charge the same as for the East Stand. We actually did for a while after the rule was tested by one of the Sheffield clubs doing the equivalent and the FL saying it was fine.

    Blackpool could be subsidising it though. The rule says we have to charge comparable prices, it doesn't say that if we want to charge everybody £50 a ticket that the other club can't contribute £20 of it so their fans only pay £30. Not to that extent, but there was a League Cup tie where the away team had wanted reduced prices but the home team wouldn't do it and announced it was standard prices as the two sides needed to agree to any change. To make the point that it wasn't them that had objected the away team announced they'd wanted them lower and would pay the difference. Unfortunately home teams can't do it.
