You're right, a friend of mine has one of the £299 passes, same seat every week, no restrictions. An absolute bargain really when you consider the alternatives.
Calm down love, it's not my fault you keep getting things wrong. The Trust are very happy with 1,137 members in their first nine months, thanks.
Our cheapest adult season passes cost more than anyone else's in the Championship and more than half the Premier League, however the stats are presented, that remains a fact. It's also a fact that many have not bought a pass simply because of the price increase and empty seats isn't good for anyone.
I haven't seen a single one that makes sense. Airlie has debunked one of them above. Since you're confident in criticising the research, can you explain or point me in the direct of any information on other clubs' tickets which appear cheaper but really aren't? I keep reading that it's the case but the examples so far have been lacking. TOM said Readings cheap tickets don't count because they struggle to fill their stadium. Jesus wept. No I wouldn't. As you know price isn't my issue same as it isn't yours. But for a lot of people, as evidenced on this thread and by the club's own comments on the radio, it clearly is. If using the away fans to subsidise is so easy why don't we do it? Our matchday tickets aren't exactly cheap anyway, so to claim other clubs are able to offer cheap tickets because away fans pay for it is ridiculous. On top of that, this is the regime that claimed to have spent its ASI fund on opposition fans and none on its own fans, unlike every other club who got the fund, which makes the idea even sillier.
That wouldn't be a bad idea. Certainly beats the away club subsidising the away fans with the asi money.
It ignores the availability additional costs and conditions associated with some of those 'cheaper' tickets. If the club adopted some of those measures, they'd be piloried.
It really doesn't, I'm not aware of any Championship club where you need to pay a membership fee, or any other additional cost to buy a season ticket. I'm also not aware of any restrictions on the purchase of Championship season tickets either. Some Premier League clubs have membership fees and most have limited numbers of season tickets available at the lowest prices, but Championship one's?
Or maybe people within the Hull boundaries don't support the club enough? If the club are basing these figures on postcodes then the peculiar boundaries thing is irrelevant anyway.
I can't say I've ever looked into it to any great degree, I was more basing it on conversations with away fans, and when the topic has arisen, they've tended to say that it's not quite as straight forward as that, and tended to be paying more than I'd been led to believe. As an example, only a couple of nights ago, I was drinking with some Germans, who laughed at the claim that there tickets were stacks cheaper than ours.
Obviously poorly informed, Bundesliga ticket prices are a fraction of Premier League prices and Bayern Munich's cheapest and most expensive season tickets are both less than ours.
I was more suggesting they were misinformed about what we pay, prices in Germany are massively cheaper than England, that's a fact, not an opinion.
Aye, if I've still got their contact details, I'll let them know that they've been under paying at the games they attend over here.
If they bought season tickets to attend games they went to over here, it's no wonder they think they were expensive.
Those sheikhs down in Manchester seem to be capable of conversing with their customers. http://bbc.co.uk/sport/football/34549458
in deed. Fancy them not realising that. I'm generally in favour of cheaper tickets, especially given en the amount of money pumped into football, ut as the FSF, who are running the campaign imply, it's a general issue for football, not something peculiar to Hull.
