Hull City Ticket Prices Surge Up to 52% After Manchester United Upset

It was a Premier League opening day to remember for Hull City on Saturday at the MKM Stadium.

The Tigers could not have asked for a better opening match. A lunchtime kick-off on the first Saturday of the season against Manchester United.

No one gave Hull City a prayer. Manchester United were heavy favourites with the bookmakers, Fantasy Premier League managers and literally anyone with an opinion on England's much-watched top flight.

In the end, Hull City had the game wrapped up by half-time against Michael Carrick's Manchester United, who did not look ready for the atmosphere at the MKM Stadium.

Semi Ajayi put Hull in front on 17 minutes. Nobel Mendy made it 2-0 seven minutes before the break. Manchester United had their moments in the match but couldn't find a way past Konstantinos Tzolakis.

Hull City Ticket Prices Surge Following Manchester United Win

Hull City's home ground, the MKM Stadium, is the fourth smallest in the Premier League and after seeing off the Red Devils, there is now huge demand to see The Tigers take on the biggest teams in England.

For the Manchester United game, tickets started at £173, averaged £1,401, topped out at £10,170, with only 303 listings. That was the second-priciest average of the entire opening weekend, behind only Forest vs Leeds at £1,591.

Since the win over Manchester United, home matches against Liverpool, Arsenal, Leeds and Sunderland have surged.

In the case of the Premier League encounter with Liverpool on December 26, 2026 - Boxing Day, the resale market surged to a 52% increase.

Hull City vs Arsenal in January went up by 40%, the Hull City vs Leeds United match in December went up 37% and the Hull City vs Sunderland home game in February increased by 32%.

Hull City Ticket Price Increases Since the Manchester United Win

Fixture + Date	Starting Price (19 Aug)	Starting Price (23 Aug)
Hull City vs Liverpool, 26 Dec	£254	£386 (+52%)
Hull City vs Arsenal, 16 Jan	£254	£355 (+40%)
Hull City vs Leeds United, 30 Dec	£254	£348 (+37%)
Hull City vs Sunderland, 10 Feb	£254	£335 (+32%)
Coventry City vs Hull City, 29 Aug	£60	£77 (+28%)

Notice that all four of those home games were sitting on exactly the same £254 floor before kick-off against Manchester United. Sellers repriced them individually once the result was in.

These enhanced prices are put into perspective by the fact that whilst these matches have provisional dates, they are not yet confirmed due to TV choices which will only be confirmed in the coming weeks.

Hull City Are Moving the Premier League Resale Market on Their Own

To understand how unusual this is, it helps to look at what the rest of the league did over the same four days.

Across 374 comparable Premier League fixtures, the median change in starting price was exactly 0.00%. In other words, the market barely twitched.

Only 44 of those fixtures saw any increase at all. Just 20 rose by more than 10%, and Hull City account for five of them.

Hull City are also the only club in the division with a meaningfully positive average movement across their own home fixtures, at almost 9%. Every other club sat flat or drifted slightly down.

The pattern in which games moved is telling too. Sellers went after the fixtures with the most resale upside, namely Liverpool on Boxing Day, Arsenal in January, and the two local games against Leeds and Sunderland.

Where Is the Cheapest Place to Watch Hull City This Season?

Here is the twist. Despite the surge, the four cheapest ways to see Hull City in 2026/27 are all away days, and every one of them significantly undercuts the cheapest game at the MKM Stadium.

Date	Fixture + Venue	Starting Price
17 Oct 2026	Fulham vs Hull City, Craven Cottage	£64
19 Dec 2026	Manchester City vs Hull City, Etihad Stadium	£65
28 Nov 2026	Crystal Palace vs Hull City, Selhurst Park	£73
13 Mar 2027	Aston Villa vs Hull City, Villa Park	£73
29 Aug 2026	Coventry City vs Hull City, MKM Stadium	£77

The reason is simple supply and demand. Hull City's away games are hosted in much bigger grounds, and despite the win over Manchester United, Sergej Jakirović's side do not have big names to bring the fans flocking.

Fulham vs Hull City has 9,881 listings available and Manchester City vs Hull City has 14,727. Compare that to the 51 listings left for Hull's home game with Brentford.

At the MKM Stadium, the cheapest ticket of the season is the Hull City vs Aston Villa game on September 5, from £78. That price has not moved since before the Manchester United result, which makes it the standout value pick on the whole Hull calendar right now.

Crystal Palace vs Hull City at £73 is another one for the diary if you fancy a London away day on a budget.

What Else the Hull City Ticket Data Reveals

Prices are only half the story. The inventory numbers show fans acting fast on Hull's cheaper autumn fixtures.

Hull City Home Fixture	Listings (19 Aug)	Listings (23 Aug)
vs Brentford, 25 Oct	231	51
vs Ipswich Town, 31 Oct	231	51
vs Everton, 11 Oct	304	81

Those three games lost between 73% and 78% of their listings in four days. Total inventory across all of Hull City's home fixtures fell 14%, against a league-wide median of just 3.4%.

Crucially, the entry price on those games held firm while the expensive seats vanished. That is the signature of tickets selling rather than sellers panicking and cutting.

Sellers are testing the top of the market too. The most expensive listing for Hull City vs Aston Villa leapt from £886 to £10,153, even though the cheapest ticket for that game never budged from £78.

The priciest Hull City home games by average price are now Hull City vs Tottenham Hotspur in December at £1,706 and Newcastle on the final day at £1,613. If you want a big name without the big number, Hull City vs Chelsea in March has 1,334 listings, comfortably the deepest supply of any Hull home game, with prices from £183.

As a ticket aggregator comparing prices across the secondary market, SeatPick is perfectly placed to track major changes in the Premier League ticket market.
