On Friday, the Whites made the announcement regarding next season’s season tickets, but not all fans were happy about what was announced.
Leeds United have announced a price freeze on season ticket prices for the 2019-20 season, the eighth year in a row that the club has done so.
The Whites are also introducing a new concession for those aged between 16 and 18 years old, with the club now just short of 22,500 season ticket holders when adding in Mini Season Ticket sales.
Next term will mark Leeds’ centenary year and, with the Elland Road outfit top of the Championship table and harbouring hopes of reaching the Premier League in their milestone season, their season ticket prices are set to remain the same whichever division they’re playing in.
“Regardless of the division Marcelo Bielsa’s team compete in during our centenary year, General Admission Season Ticket Holders will pay the same price they paid during the 2018/19 season,” read a statement, adding: “Season Ticket renewal prices are subject to terms and conditions and individual circumstances. Mini Season Ticket Holders will pay the 2018/19 new applicant price.”
Leeds also wrote that, as part of the centenary celebrations, all season ticket holders for 2019-20 will receive a special complimentary gift pack ahead of the start of the season.
The renewal process will begin from Tuesday 19 February when current Season Ticket Holders will be able to purchase their seat for next year online, paper forms will then be sent to those who do not purchase online within three weeks.
The renewal window will close on Friday 29 March, there are currently no plans to go out on general sale, and club will once again offer a finance option allowing fans to spread the cost of their ticket across a six month period.
Here is how some of the Whites faithful reacted on Twitter after the announcement was made, with some positive comments:
The announcement wasn’t universally liked though, with some fans feeling like they’re losing out:
