No Reciprocal Away Price Cap With Leeds - Ipswich Town News

Leeds United are among the clubs not taking part in Town’s £25 reciprocal away ticket price cap initiative with adult prices for the game at Elland Road on Saturday 23rd September having been set at £37.

In June, Town wrote to their fellow Championship clubs offering to put a ceiling of £25 on seats at Portman Road for a rival side's fans if they agreed to do the same when Town's supporters visit their stadium.

The Blues' next away opponents QPR previously confirmed that they have turned down the proposal, chief executive Lee Hoos stating: "The running costs of our stadium are substantially different than Ipswich and this price point simply doesn’t work.”

Adult away prices for the game at Loftus Road a week on Saturday, which are currently on sale from ITFC Direct, are £31, £28 and £26.

Middlesbrough also rebuffed Town's offer, saying at a Supporters Forum in July that they believe their "overall approach to pricing is reasonable and competitive”.

Ticket Sales Dates:
30/08 - Gold Members
01/09 - Season Ticket Holders
04/09 - Silver Members
06/09 - General Sale#ITFC– ITFC_PlanetBlue (@ITFC_PlanetBlue) August 30, 2017

Adult away tickets for their home draw with Preston on Saturday were £30. Town visit the Riverside on Saturday 9th December.

Barnsley, Birmingham, Brentford, Bristol City, Bolton and last Saturday’s opponents Fulham are among those to have agreed to the reciprocal arrangement, while adult away seats for the trip to Derby on Tuesday 12th September cost £22.

Last month, Town announced that 12 clubs had agreed to their proposal with others still considering their response.

Fans of clubs who haven't agreed to take part in the initiative will pay the standard prices for the upper tier of the Cobbold Stand - £30 and £35 - rather than the proposed £25 when they visit Portman Road.
