Hull City fail to sell out their Play off final ticket allocation

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

A well considered articulately expressed series of statements with which I wholeheartedly concurr!!!

I got to admit, I'd had a drink but in the cold light of morning I stand by the lack of shit I give about the voulume and club preference of today's match going public

 

[Beach Hut]

We never sold out our allocation for the play-off final at Cardiff either, given we are not morphing into Brighton City Dolphins you cannot blame some fans given what these reckless new owners of football clubs do to them these days.

 

[smudge]

Just hope Hull win

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Believe they averaged 23/24 in the last season of the PL so the tickets they sold seem about right.

plus this is the third trip to Wembley in past few years.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Not watching...no interest ...completely erased from my memory ...until now ..yes I am a sore loser

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Not one to dis our support. But it was closer to a couple of thousand unsold. And rewinding we also failed to sell out home play off leg to Derby and even 2nd leg verses palace despite being level after leg 1.

We also failed to sell out our Wembley allocation in 92

It was 1991 to be correct and we initially got 32,000 and had extra tickets that gave us 34,500.....

 

[Return of the Rev]

Exactly this. I remember looking at the prices and thinking they were a total piss take.

This is a match where one club is walking into the Premiership and the £200million they are going to generate and the play in the premiership where away fans seats are capped at £30 and they are looking to charge you £78+ to watch the game. Total piss taking *******s.

Well if you insist on paying the gold price then who's fault is it? Just pay the iron price and watch the ticket prices tumble

not forgetting Hull play St Helens today (a much cheaper option for those with kids) and HKR play later aswell

I didn't bother with that one, promotion back to the second tier. Probably the most overhyped 'must be there game' in our history, and in Cardiff as well. Not at all comparable to Wembley and the Premier League as the prize.

If that is the case then it is not surprising they have not sold out given that football is not(was not?) the prime choice of sport there. Hull is not that big a place ....

I think you erred there Cheeky! Yes, you are right that the prize on offer was not all that. However, that was a day that showed the football world (okay in England) that we were not a spent force but more importantly, gave a final push of encouragement to us, the fans after all the protests and campaigns we'd endured. It felt so good to be a Brighton fan that day and helped me believe for the first time in 10 years that we were finally going to put our past behind us and go on to greater things.

Not sure we should be casting stones on this one. We didn't even sell out for our play-off semi final.

The biggest factor for not selling that game out (apart from being 2 nil down) was the promised rail chaos that Southern were advertising the in days before. I know people who normally bring their kids who didn't take the risk.

probably embarrassed to be seen with this lot:

Personally speaking Cardiff with its choice of pubs and pie shops close to the ground and the pleasant surprise (to me anyway) of the friendliness of stewards and OB made it a much better day out than any I've had at Wembley

Rubbish.

Give me Cardiff over Wembley any day. You won't ever see Brighton play there again . Fantastic day out and i'm so glad i went.There again i had no intention of not going.

It's a crap day for a play off final. The fact it's so dull, wet and grey will appeal more to the northerners than us 'sunshine state' southerners anyway. They're welcome to it.

Me, For their support on Saturday 12 Sept, the game of the emotional tribute to the Shoreham Airshow Disaster at the Amex. I hope for a Hull win.

Well indeed and for that me too, however I won't be emotionally scarred for life on hearing the devistating news that they've failed to sell their Wembley allocation
