Tickets for Leeds Utd game....disgusting prices!

[flourbasher]

only thing is that will encourage even more Leeds fans to buy tickets in the home end

Maybe we could do that at Elland rd as some tickets are only £32-34
It would be wise to ensure everyone is aware of your will and perhaps some private medical care set up beforehand

Doesn’t work like these days fortunately. May get odd one or two that slips through the system . Mainly they’ve no chance getting in the home end in numbers .

They've been charging away fans top dollar for years.

Went around 1991, Leeds v forest, paid around £19. It was a ridiculous amount at the time, upset me no end.

Now even Boro are at it but in different ways.

Mate's been and got our tickets:

Full paying adult £31 not too steep?

Concession only £4 cheaper at £27

But get this one. A child's ticket for an 8 year old....a whopping £19!!! Absolute rip off. They think they are being fair at £31 then smash you with £19 for a child. Over to whoever's in charge of our pricing system, take note of these robbing bar stewards and should our paths ever cross again, hammer them with the same pricing structure. Good enough for them then good enough for us!

Ripped us off with Laser and Tree too and now this.
Probably miffed we stole 3 points at Christmas
Luke Ayling has just signed so he needs to be paid for and his salary won’t be cheap

Understandably posters are suggesting that we should charge other clubs what they are charging us. Seems fair but, in my understanding, is not allowed under EFL rules section 6:
"35.3.88 No Club shall charge higher admission prices for visiting supporters for
accommodation that is ranked as comparable with or inferior to that
used by supporters of the Home Club in the same or next highest ranked
accommodation. For the purposes of this Regulation, accommodation shall be
allocated a ranking as indicated by the table below (where 1 represents the best
available and 6 the lowest) having regard to the following criteria:
(a) Covered seating;
(b) Uncovered seating;
(c) Covered terracing;
(d) Uncovered terracing;
(e) Behind the touchline;
(f) Behind the goal line; and
(g) In the corners of the stadium (i.e. behind both the touchline and the
goal line)"


If our supporters are charged £27 to sit behind the goal we cannot charge Leeds fans more than £27 to sit in the South stand.
Similarly, if Leeds fans are being charged £45 to sit in a comparable area at Elland Rd, that is what they can charge us.
Leeds have offered clubs the option of reciprocal agreements and a few have taken them up on it.
As I stated before, they are not going to make an agreement on £27 - as that is the maximum we can charge anyway.
The 'tiser states that Leeds proposed to charge our fans £25, if we did the same. This would mean they would knock off £20 and in return we would knock off £2. No brainer? - I think so.
So why did our club turn it down?
Because they didn't want to charge Leeds fans £2 less than our fans for sitting behind the goal, thereby being "unfair" to our fans?
Because they didn't want to miss out on about £4000 for charging them that extra £2 ?
Prepared to accept our fans being priced out of the game and having virtually no support at the match for the sake of a few thousand quid?
Our club could have rewarded our loyal away fans substantially (£20 per fan) for relatively little cost but chose not to. Why?
Nobody wins in this situation because Leeds would surely have have grossed more from a lower price. Now they are snookered because they probably don't want to be seen as giving our fans a better deal than theirs for this game. Bloody ridiculous imho.

“£45 for a 90 minute game is a pound a minute. You do the math.”

Ha ha ha very good Scum

Ah the good old working man's game eh..

I personally think owt over 20 quid to watch 2nd tier level football is a disgrace. Unfortunately greed has become a staple at football clubs since Mr Murdoch got his hands on the product.

That said, we'll still take a thousand..
