Ticket pricing

2 of my mates are put off by the match day prices and personally I will not be buying a season ticket if we stay in SL, simply refuse to miss games because SKY dictate last minute changes.

You will always get people saying it is good value for money for 3 hours entertainment but that's simply not the case when you factor in parking, prices of food & drink, programs and throwing money into the inevitable bucket collections. I'd certainly hate to have kids who wanted to go to a SL game as the outlay would be crippling.

The price is the main detractor.... 1500 @ £30 or 5500 @ £10.

I have asked many friends, work mates and family members to come along and they are all up for it, as soon as i mention the ticket prices they are put off. Paying that ammount the currently havent got any interest in is a bit steep.

RL is a working class sport and as such should be priced accordingly. Our players arnt being sold for millions, our stadiums arnt holding 80,000 fans each week. No club has a waiting list for season tickets.

I remember how I got hooked, Junior reds season ticket for a fiver! a fiver for home and away matches! Can you belive it, at the age of 12-13 going to all the away grounds with some mates for next to nothing.... Magic times.
Now Im not silly, I know prices have inflated but why not bring a Juniour Reds season ticket in for say £50. that would eliviate some problems for parents.
For want of a better saying GET THEM YOUNG!

I personaly have 2 young children and when I take them to a match i dont just want to watch the game. I want it to be an event that the remember and tell their friends about it. that includes all the bells and whisltes that cost a bomb. i know the clubs cant do much about the price of the vendors, we all know they are overpriced but we accept it.

What I will say is although the prices are alittle high, the ability to pay for season tickes in instalments should be applauded.

Sick of saying every child under the age of 14 should not pay to watch any game of RL in the UK, from Championship through to Internationals. Do think the additional charge for buying on the day is suicide (I appreciate that this isn't the club but non the less it is crazy) and as others have said ours is a working mans/class sport and prices need to reflect this, you'd think the stadium management company would think hold on drop the prices to get more people in buying all the other stuff a match day spectator does which would more than compensate for the loss of ticket revenue.

I can't disagree with what has been said that season tickets are good value and the chance to pay on the drip is brilliant but the uncertainty of game days, KO times and late changes means you miss a couple of games and you might as well just buy individual tickets.

Sorry but at the moment I feel less inclined to be giving the club a lump sum regardless of survival or not.

Our owner won't put us all out of our misery by telling the fans if he will still be onboard next season.
There is some form of obvious disquiet behind the scenes that is having a serious impact on our survival in the top flight.
Rumours are flying around about our director of rugby heading to another team as head coach, a statement by the club is needed.

This idea might have absolutely no financial credibility whatsoever, but assuming we stay in Super League next season, we will have a potential 20 games at the AJ Bell next year (1 friendly, 11 regular season home games, 4 super eight games and one semi-final, 3 challenge cup). Why not have a season ticket which covers all of these games and market it as the '40:20' whereby you're paying £40 to watch a potential 20 fixtures. Surely this would appeal to all supporters who might just be casual attenders to the AJB, but if you could sell 10,000 of these, an overall loss in gate revenue over the season would surely be more than compensated by sales of merchandise and other matchday products, as well as an improvement on the pitch with the heightened support.

Junior season ticket had been around £50 for a few years now and includes all home and away SL games. I don't think you can ask for a much better deal than that. It's less than £2 a game. I started watching as a 14 year old in the late 1980s and paid more than that to get into games then
Season tickets can be paid for in installments and aren't a bad price. I think season tickets are generally a good deal and the club should be applauded for that

I understand that individual match tickets are pricey but there are regular deals to reduce the cost which is good

I don't think it's fair to complain about increasing the cost of tickets on the day. They don't. They reduce the price if you buy it in advance. I thought that was a good thing? It's better if you can get people to buy in advance and so they offer an incentive to get people to do it.

Despite the drop in crowds I know 6 to 10 of people who've started coming in last year or two and all believe it's decent value. But understand why others think differently

Unfortunately the maths of massively reduced ticket prices don't add up. If you get a massive increase in fans then you might make more money but costs also go up significantly. If you get 2000 paying £30 that is a bigger income than even doubling it to 4000 paying £10. Cheap tickets don't equal big crowds and certainly don't equal big income

Finally I agree the games moving to be on TV Iis a pain and I especially dislike Thursday games. But in financial terms clubs make far more from TV money than from ticket sales so they make the choices through SL/RFL. Same in RU, football, cricket, etc
