Leeds United have delighted fans on social media with the news that season tickets prices have been frozen, no matter what division the club will be in next term.
It will be the eighth consecutive campaign that Leeds have frozen season ticket prices, and comes at a time the club is preparing to celebrate it’s centenary year with the possibility of Premier League football again.
Anyone wishing to get their hands on a season ticket for next season will have to be a current season ticket holder or hope not everyone renews, however, as the announcement confirmed that due to having in excess of 22,500 active holders, they would not be awarding any more.
Any Whites supporter aged between 16 and 18, though, will benefit from the creation of a new price bracket, thanks to consultation between the club and fan groups aimed at making football more affordable for the fanbase.
Chief Executive Angus Kinnear said: “Our fans have shown unwavering support again this year with Elland Road boasting the highest average attendance in the Football League and we feel it is only right that we take this opportunity to reward their loyalty.”
Renewals will open on February 19, but fans have already been sharing their joy at the news on social media…
No new applications if we get promoted… That is awesome. Loyalty rewarded. Finally owners who actually ‘get it’. I shall be renewing on the 19th ????????????

Fair play. Given demand for tickets is through the roof (literally) for the club not to cash in on the demand is very commendable. Fans first. That’s so nice to see.

Under the ownership of @andrearadri we are finally getting value for money and quality entertainment after paying over the odds for the miserable years when Bates, GFH and Cellino were in charge. The club feels like it’s finally going places. Thanks and well done to all at #LUFC

Great about the price freeze and good to hear about the new 16-18 price bracket.
Pity my son turns 19 and has had a season ticket for the last 10 plus years. Oh well – On & on….
