I think £20 to £25 for adults.
I would not pay over £40 to watch leeds at elland rd.
I think £8 to £12 concessions would be fair enough.

£10
£10
OAP'S £5 Kids £6 and they get a free burger and small very small coke.

Not just Leeds but all stadiums should not charge more than this especially the Boltons and Wigans of this world, that way there stadiums wouldnt be half empty!

£25 adults
£15 kids and concessions

season tickets

£500 maximum west and east
£400 maximum north and south

I don't think tickets should cost any more than your average person would earn if they worked for the time they spend attending the match so £20-£25. More concessions for families and kids to attract the new wave of fans as well.

leed even that is too much, maybe for good seats.

you just have to look at the bundesliga, their pricing structure is spot on! full stadiums for 80% of teams!

Completely agree with Lancashire there.
Those prices are absolutely spot on & fair.

LeedsSouth, I will put them prices to bates tomorrow night at the LUDO presentation and no doubt he will tell me to F### Off you moron

Its a sensible proposal so he'll definitely not entertain it.

I must admit to get the ground full again for every match, I was thinking on the lines of £22 for adults £11 for under 16's Kop, South Stand and Family stand. £28 adult and £14 under 16's West Stand
This prices would be fixed for every match no A,B,C. Fixtures.
Season Tickets £400 adult £200 under 16's Kop, South Stand and Family stand. £500 Adult £259 under 16's.West Stand.
I'm sure the club cold then maximise sales at the LU shop in the bars and food out lets.
How many season tickets do you think we would sell?

Cozer, it's not just about pricing, its about the whole ER experience, especially this season.
The stewards are far too heavy handed down there & nit pick at every opportunity.
Its lttle wonder the attendances are dropping, even the away supporters have had enough of the rough treatment they experience.

the west ham fans will see that on the pitch tomorrow when leeds turn them over

I would say fair pricing for the Kop/South Stand would be around £22/£26 for match by match depending on the opposition. With ST for these areas being £440 for renewals and £480 new.
Under 16's/Pensioners would be half price, with under 9's being £6.

The big question is would any of the prices people want to pay enable the club to invest in the playing squad. Most people forget straight away 20% is lost in VAT.

Another thought: I know its good to reward current season ticket holders with cheaper tickets for the following season but If the club was to charge everyone the same price for one season (like it used to) at least wouldn't that get the season ticket sales up for the following seasons too.

Crozer agreed they could have an amnesty to see if they could bring back some ST sales. Can't remember though when it ever was the same for renewals as new.

One suggestion is to have special give-away games for the less attractive fixtures sponsored by local businesses, e.g., Leeds United t-shirt for all kids accompanied by an adult sponsored by the Leeds Lunchbox eatery.

CasWhite: That's why I was asking how many season tickets people think we would sell.
I'd of thought if it broke the clubs brake even figure by about !0% to 15% in ticket sales alone surly that would be worth it to the club. I know if I take my kids to the match I spend a fortune at the club shop and at the food and drink counters.

Caswhite: I think going back to the old second division in the 80's there where no renewal prices just set price for each stand. On one of the other forums someone was saying in 1985 they paid £3.00 to go in the south stand if you take inflation into account it should be £7.50 now. How the games changed!!!!

posted on 16/3/12

You'd struggle to get 15-16k ST's unless back in the premiership or they were less than £300 each. Even when we were doing well we only had 20-22k ST holders

So this is the problem. What do you do as an owner. Sell below cost and hope to get more in or sell at a price you think you will cover expenditure with hardcore fans.

LeedsSouth : I totally agree with you, It's about time the supporters were treated with some respect.
It makes you wonder if the club want people to go back.
Why O Why do they need the purple coats they cause more trouble there rude and we pay their bloody wages. I guess its so the club don't have to pay the police.

I think we should just face it lower prices does not mean more in.

Fans will turn up on success or when we play the big teams.

Rubbish fans really

CasWhite: The club could ask for people to pledge to buy a season ticket if they were to give a price if we got
say 15000 ST pledges and a price for below 15000 pledges. I think they did something like that at Bratford one season.

I was thinking today it would be good to have a kind of flexible half season ticket.

Reasons for me not renewing this time are:

1. Can't afford a full season
2. Don't enjoy night games esp in freezing temps
3. Work/other commitments

So - if there was an option to commit to paying upfront, at a cheaper rate, for, say, half the season's home games I'd possibly take it. They'd all be in a particular stand and you'd pick the games you wanted to go to as they came up and booked the seat you wanted which could be anywhere in that stand subject to availability.

The club get a decent amount of money up front still and the fan benefits from getting the games cheaper than buying individually. Also means you can move about a bit instead of being stuck in the same seat every game.

Might be difficult to administer though?

Cas

We had 28k season tickets one season in the ore
And it was capped at that
