Hull have been found to have broken a Premier League ticketing rule last season.
An independent commission found the club had broken Premier League rule R.8 by "not offering concessionary tickets to senior citizens or junior supporters".
If Hull - now of the Sky Bet Championship - are promoted back to the Premier League between 2018 and 2022, they have agreed to offer tickets to at least 10 per cent of their home matches to senior citizens and juniors at a discount of no less than 10 per cent compared to standard prices.
The commission found the club had acted "in good faith" throughout inquiry.
A statement read: "During season 2016/17 the Premier League expressed concerns about Hull City's ticketing policy and, following discussions with club officials, and a number of complaints from fans, charged the club with a breach of its rules. A three-person independent commission was convened to consider the charge.
"The commission, comprised of John Machell QC (Chair), Daniel Alexander QC and Steve Stride, found the club breached Premier League rule R.8 by not offering concessionary tickets to senior citizens or junior supporters.
"Following the commission's decision Hull City has agreed, should the club be promoted to the Premier League in the future, that it will comply with Premier League rules regarding concessions. If the club is promoted between 2018 and 2022 it has committed to specifically offering at least 10% of its home match tickets to senior citizens and juniors at a discount of no less than 10 per cent compared to standard adult prices.
"The commission found that Hull City acted in good faith throughout its inquiry."
