However, in the meantime, the club has recognized a need to change its ticketing policy, following the sell out of the Norwich game before Members had an opportunity to buy tickets.
"Alterations for Members.
Leeds United will be making changes to the way home match tickets are sold from the Bolton Wanderers game on Saturday 23rd February 2019 until the end of the season.
Demand for tickets at home matches has been significant this season and after tickets for our game with Norwich City sold out to Members & Season Ticket Holders in less than two hours, the club have decided to make amendments to the sales pattern, in line with point 8 of our Membership terms and conditions detailed below:
8. Membership does not guarantee home tickets. Members have a priority booking period for home games. For high profile home fixtures, tickets may be sold in the following order of priority; Platinum and Gold Members followed by Silver Members. The number of tickets available to purchase may be restricted.
From the Bolton Wanderers match onwards, tickets will go on sale to Platinum Members, Gold Members & Season Ticket Holders on a first come first served basis, then to Silver Members (subject to availability). If any tickets remain, tickets will then be released for general sale.
In order to try and give more fans the opportunity to purchase tickets, the maximum number of tickets available to purchase will be reduced from nine to four.
This means that Members can purchase four tickets and Season Ticket Holders will be able to purchase an extra three tickets in addition to their Season Ticket.
Ticket sale dates will be announced in due course."

Stadium Expansion is a Must

Don't want us to rush into expansions that we can't afford. Cement ourselves in the PL before this kind of thing is done.

Lubo, how do you know we can’t afford it ?

Of course it’s a solution is basic economics, the only fans who will be priced out are the excess ones.

Alienating a fan base in my world is not a solution.

The fan base has been alienated for years by claims of having to pay Prem prices etc, they're still here and they're more loyal than ever.
It's simple economics, however much you might not like it, when demand goes up and supply does not increase, prices go up.

Yep, prices will increase massively, if with extra seats.

I imagine that if we could then we could also afford the money to splash out on a winger, which doesn't appear to be the case.

If you added a fiver per ticket between now and end of season, do you think fans would be priced out and stop coming?

No Jonty, but fans remember being ripped off and eventually take action, just like I did and many others.
It’s a fine line.
At the moment we are top, playing well and possibly promotion, that won’t always be the case.
It’s more important to engage with the massive fan base than take them for a cash cow.
It’s not just about now.
