Not already believing the haphazard way the club has been run under the stewardship of Massimo Cellino to be enough punishment, Leeds United fans have slapped with an extraordinarily shitty ‘pie tax’ for any up and coming home games.
Any tickets bought have had £5 added to the total, with the ticket stub acting as a voucher for food or drink.
Being the total arse faces they are, the club opted not to tell fans of the price hike, Football league rules even state that ticket prices must be confirmed before the season start.
According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, any supporters that emailed Leeds over a month ago to find out the reason behind such price increase have still not received a reply.
The paper then hits us with some numbers;
Leeds put in place the same pricing for both the South Stand and the North Stand across all categories: £32 for adults at a Category A game, £27 for adults at a Category B game and £21 for adults at a Category C game.
Those booking tickets for the South Stand for Saturday’s game against Hull City have been hit with a shock.
There is no option to buy a ticket without paying the additional fee, meaning that any match day ticket in the South Stand will cost at least £32. That represents a £5 rise on previous Category B games this season, and is also higher than the £27 tickets in the North Stand.
Ticket prices already increase by £5 when bought on the day of a game, meaning that Leeds fans buying tickets on Saturday will have to pay £37 to sit in the South Stand.
The Category A game against Preston on December 20 will see Leeds fans charged £37 if they want to sit in the South Stand and book in advance, or £42 on the day.
A classic example of utter bastardry from the club there. ‘Don’t want to be shafted? Tough, shut up and av a pie!’
