Leeds United fans are fuming after the club announced a 10 per cent increase in season ticket prices for the upcoming season. The news comes as a shock to many supporters, who have already been hit hard by the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
The club has also added a never-seen-before clause to the season ticket agreement, which states that if the season is cancelled or curtailed due to the pandemic, season ticket holders will not be entitled to a refund. This has caused outrage among fans, who feel that they are being taken advantage of by the club.
The club has defended the decision, claiming that the increase is necessary to cover the costs of running the club. They have also pointed out that the season ticket prices are still lower than they were in the 2019/20 season.
However, many fans feel that the club should be doing more to help them during this difficult time. They argue that the club should be offering discounts or other incentives to season ticket holders, rather than increasing prices.
The club has also been criticised for the lack of communication with fans. Many feel that the club should have consulted with them before making such a drastic decision.
The news has caused a huge backlash from Leeds United fans, with many taking to social media to express their anger and frustration. Many have called for a boycott of the club, while others have threatened to cancel their season tickets.
It remains to be seen how the club will respond to the backlash, but it is clear that Leeds United fans are not happy with the decision. The club must now work to regain the trust of its supporters, or risk losing them for good.
