    Overpriced IMO.. last season we payed about £20 West Stand vs Boro.. It's a Xmas family outing as I'm only over in Hull rarely but £70 for two adults and a child is a bit much.

    There are people in the Hull area who can't afford this kind of pricing but want to support the team. It will be interesting to see what attendance we get. The Allams need to charge less and fill the place. You're never going to revive the Boothferry roar in the KC if you don't get the right punters in. Yes, we have a winning team with a chance of promotion but that's not the point. I've supported City whenever I can & no matter which division but I draw the line at £30.

    £30 for a home Boxing Day fixture against Lesta is par for the course imo. Hope we charge TWS £40 BUT i dont think we can go that far even for them.

    Maybe a family ticket(upto 4, 2adults/2kids) for home fans only should have been available for say £50.

    First thought would be, why are you going in the most expensive stand, particularly if you're taking a child?

    Go in the South(family) Stand and it's £27 for adults and £5-8 for kids(depending on age).

    It's a Cat A game and it's expected to be a sell-out, so it was always going to be the most expensive of the season(along with Leeds).

    Going in the South Stand would be a far more sensible option.

    I just bought my tickets for Leeds and Leicester. South Stand was not offered as an option for either when I called. East, West, West Upper were the choices I had. As we have never been in the West Upper I opted for that.

    Why is Leicester seen as such a big game? Just cos it's boxing day or do people outside of this board really consider them our rivals?

    For me, it's because it's Boxing Day, always a nice treat at Christmas. Couldn't give a **** that it happens to be against Leicester.

    It's a combination of recent history, Boxing Day and the fact they're the only team outside of Leeds who are likely to fill the North Stand.

    I wouldn't class it as a rivalry.

    West Upper in the midst of winter? Are you mad, man?

    (Though I suppose "i've never sat there before" is a good enough reason)

    Why? It'll be as cold as everywhere else.

    Probably as quiet and all.

    Seems the majority of them are paying on the day.

    They'd sold 800 last I heard(a couple of days ago) and I it's all ticket for away fans, so nobody will be paying on the day.

    I know they don't have far to travel but maybe a combination of Christmas and money being tight in general means their fans are concentrating on their home games?

    Just checking on an Udders board, it seems that our ticket office is now telling them that they can pay on the gate and the Udders OWS has now deleted the 'all-ticket' bit from the ticket information on their own site.

    They've sold 900 so far.

    Think Hudds can pay on the day now.
