Next weekend sees the quarter-finals of the FA Cup take place with eight teams only one game away from a trip to Wembley.
Yorkshire takes centre stage on Sunday as Sheffield United host Charlton Athletic at 12pm and then Hull City play Sunderland at 2pm.
For the Blades it is a huge occasion, one that would have been bigger had city rivals Wednesday beaten Charlton in Round 5 but still a game that has captured the imagination with ticket sales proceeding briskly.
With prize money in the bank and all the games at this stage being televised it makes sense to keep prices realistic and that is just what they have done with tickets £20 for Adults, £15 for Season Ticket Holders and Concessions and £5 for Juniors.
At the KC Stadium it is a meeting between two Premiership teams and again there is no point in pricing it the same as a league game.
Regardless of the magic that the FA Cup still has, supporters cannot stretch to those when they have already paid for season tickets and when you are looking at essentially the same pool of people to come to this fixture in contrast, perhaps, to the matches at Manchester City and Arsenal where there are more 'one-off' potential attendees.
Prices are £20 for Adults, £15 for Seniors (65+) & 16-22 Year-Olds, £5 for Under 16s and £1 for Under 10s.
