Is anyone seriously considering paying that, I’m out….

I’d have thought £34 and £31. Same as the rest of the East Stand. Either way we’re the higher side of the middle but nowhere near the top.

Bit strong for me. 2000 of us will pay it. I probably will. Clubs that don’t, they’ll get locals to pay the spare at the same price.
We have the maximise bums on seats v maximise revenue about once a month. There’s arguments both sides. But Leeds is clear. They’ll do capacity at this price. It’s the market rate.
It’s bloody dear. It’s pricing some out. But I’d prefer to reserve “disgusting” for those who can’t afford to feed their kids, not those who can’t afford to go to every football match they’d ideally like to.
A massive percentage of Elland Road is sold out to season cards like the Riverside once was so they can set match day prices as high as they like as they haven't got 15k+ seats to fill and match to match tickets were like gold dust in the premier league

That’s true. It’s the season ticket sales that let them do it. But it’s because they will sell them at that, because match tickets are like gold dust. So it’s a price that meets the rules.

We're not charging anybody £47, so it's just a pathetic excuse from their price gouging owners.

To those posters that think we charged £34 for away fans last season, check out the linked video @ 29.14 - Preston fans say they were charged £31 for a category A game in the away end. Away fans according to my research are charged from £19 to £36 for adult tickets. A category B (mid week games at the Riverside) would have been £28. OK above the average of £27.50. I would say we charged around 10% above the average for away fans.

I am the only one here struggling to believe Leeds currently have a waiting list of 20k season ticket holders. I went to a Boro v Leeds game at the Riverside in 2019 and I don't think Leeds even sold their 2,800 tickets, they certainly ended up on general sale.
As said before this has nothing to do with charging away fans £47 - away fans don't buy Leeds United season tickets.

Leeds will struggle to sell out this coming season unless they are top of the league.
In the 10 Championship seasons from their League 1 promotion in 2010 they averaged under 28,000 in all but 2 of those seasons. Over 8k short of capacity.
We had a huge waiting list in 98-99 after the stadium was extended. Times change and with it demand.
Seriously arguing about which bad thing deserves a word more?

What on earth are you wittering about?

According to the Athletic it’s 22,000 on their waiting list.
If the away team only take a small allocation they can then sell some tickets to home fans.

Not when they got in the prem
Visit the likes of Scarborough, Bridlington, York, Harrogate, Ripon, Castleford and Pontefract and see how many LUFC shirts you see (not just in the holiday season) or cars proudly dec'd in LUFC colours
The catchment area goes well beyond the City Boundries of Leeds, we've seen it for ourselves with the 'Teesside Whites' flags at the Riverside

Agreed Leeds takes fans from all over Yorkshire and beyond and they have a massive local catchment area but averaged around 28k in the Championship 2010 - 2020, in a stadium that holds 38k? Where were the extra 22k then?
We played them in 2016 and there were 20k when they were mid-table side and 2k would be Boro. OK they have more money now, but if they have say 30k season ticket holders and another 22k waiting thats 52k regular fans from 18k in 2016.
Also morally is it right to charge £47 to effectively stop away fans from coming?

Not sure they will sell out every game in the Championship. Historically they have not see above.

We can’t talk?Just a cunning plan to avoid big away followings. They can then say 'we'd take more'
Jokes aside it's shocking. I'd say charge them the same wherever they go. Yet it's harsh on fans.
We can't talk. We charge £34 yet many away days are £20-25. So the 'charge the same' doesn't help us. We'd pay £34 everywhere.
We can like. We don’t set the Boro prices and there is plenty of discussion on here about prices being too high.
Also, going off your figures, Leeds are charging almost 40% more than we are. So it’s not even close.

Its £47 for Leeds opposed to £31 at Boro for away adult fans. Although thats our last season price - Its 52% more at Leeds for poorer seats too.
looking at the LUFC website and local media.......
This one will get you steaming - Leeds United charge their own fans £11 just to join a waiting list for season ticket.
It is true, there is a waiting list, but I am not surprised if they charge their own fans £41 for a match ticket and say £450? for a season ticket. The Yorkshire Evening Post said Leeds held season ticket prices for 10 years. My guess is that they are also restricting where season tickets can be bought in the stadium to only 62% of the stadium. They had 23k season ticket holders in season 2020/21 their first season in the Premier League which seems small to me. This hints at restricted ST sales by the club. I can't even guess why they would do this.
