Leeds confirm the price cap for away tickets at Elland Road next season

Leeds United have announced they are capping away tickets at £30 for the 2024/25 Championship campaign.

Prices at Elland Road were a source of controversy last season, with Rovers eventually subsidizing 25% of the cost of supporters making the trip across the Pennines in April after the clubs could not reach a mutual agreement.

John Eustace’s men walked away with all three points on the day after Sam Szmodics scored a dramatic winner eight minutes from time.

Leeds fans were charged £30 for the original fixture at Ewood Park in December as the Yorkshire side secured a 2-0 win.

However, the issue appears to have been resolved for next season following an official statement.

The statement read: “Leeds United can announce for the 2024/25 Sky Bet Championship campaign we will introduce a new price cap for away supporters attending matches at Elland Road.

“The new fixed price will be £30 per adult ticket for every match, regardless of who the opponent is. This approach is in line with the Premier League’s pricing policy.

“At the start of the 2023/24 season, Leeds United contacted all opposition clubs in the league to try to reach a mutual price agreement for the benefit of all fans.

“While some have accepted and both sets of supporters have been able to benefit from this, some clubs have not agreed to reciprocal arrangements.

“As a club we recognize the vital role away supporters play at every match and believe in a fair and consistent pricing strategy for all football fans.

“We hope this move will ensure our loyal supporters also pay fair and consistent prices when traveling to support the team away from home.”

Leeds are aiming to bounce back from their play-off final tear at Wembley after a narrow 1-0 defeat against Southampton.
