Leeds, SWFC, Bolton especially the prices they charge are criminal! Hull also while cheaper have not offered any consession prices for over two yeas! Football away days are expensive enough as they are. Fully agree that something needs to be done regarding ticketing.
Good read this article also from a Blades fan kutgw

The root cause of this is match categorisation. Different prices charged by the Home club depending on the status of the visitors. Leeds are one of the biggest names in the championship so every Leeds away match is in the most expensive category. Leeds have taken the view that if clubs charge Leeds fans more than the fans of lesser lights in the championship then Leeds will charge visiting fans top prices. It is a form of revenge pricing. Categorisation needs to be banned and all fans charged the same price from whichever club. I understand the position Leeds have taken but I don’t agree with it. From definitely not a Leeds fan.

Do Leeds charge this price, for home supporters to attend?
A quick look at their ticket site, would seem to confirm this, so the £37 tag, is nothing targeted at away supporters.
It is an excessive ticket price, but in the scheme of a supporter, who lashes out thousands on attending away games, which not that many people have the luxury to afford , it’s not that impactful.
The UK, has become an expensive, greedy economy, in so many other areas, such as holiday accomodation, pub meals and drinks, it’s a trend.

Lancashire-based Bee here:I am also not going,despite it being a relatively easy trip..Even the Senior “Concession” is too much.Will save my pension money for Cardiff next week.The only way to stop the greed that is killing the game is to boycott Clubs that charge outrageous prices.
