    They were advertising it at the game today saying tickets from £35 adult, £8 children. So Cat B I'm afraid.

    http://www.hullcityafc.com/tickets/tick_news/

    Tickets are usually dear when the visitors are a big club<whistle>

    Serves you right. Just think where'd you'd be if you hadn't sold all your best players. :bandit:<whistle>

    I'll be going to this. I admit, I was quite shocked when I saw that Hull were charging £35, especially when you consider that Spurs was £39.

    Oh according to some fans,it takes many years to become thought of as "big club". Leeds fans for instance, still consider themselves a far bigger cub than ourselves, reasoning they were bigger than us in history, and you can't change history so....

    Saints fans are used to being ignored (even when we aren't really)...we couldn't handle being treated as a big club.

    I wonder if Saints fans could handle being treated as a big club?

    Your game was originally going to be £16, but as you've started so well, they've switch your category and you're now a £35 game.

    Don't really understand that...even as a Saints fan, I don't see us a major draw to fans of other teams.

    It's quite a jump but if you think about it most teams won't see Hull as a big draw either. If you have an equal amount of cat A, B and C games, surely there are enough teams you can think of as being less significant that we would have to fit the middle category

    :emoticon-0104-surpr The very thought in deed.

    Given the money they get in from Sky, it's either greed or an attempt to socially engineer the crowd.

    Surely, it should be more against the weaker teams as fans are more likely to see their team win? Anyway, why should you be charged more because your teams better than our ticket people expected them to be?

    Based on a 500 mile round trip from Southampton to Hull the £35 ticket price is a small proportion of the total spend tbh
    I am half way up to Hull and even I am wondering whether to bother as its not an easy journey

    I always go to watch Saints, not the opposition. In fact, I always prefer to watch teams we can beat...of course, that list is longer now<laugh>
