New ticket system leaves some 'overjoyed' and others 'disgruntled'
The away following for Leeds United is peerless. No matter the division. From Liverpool to Luton, via Chelsea and Charlton. Wherever Leeds go they take more. Which has weirdly become a clamour for away tickets has become routine over the past decade with the majority of supporters expected to join a first-come first-served online queue. This led to multiple tabs open on multiple computers, in the middle of a work club launched a new 'ballot' system for the upcoming Premier League campaign. In their statement they say they did this on the back of conversations with supporter groups including their 'Supporters Advisory Board'.The aim, according to that statement, is to 'continue to reward loyalty' while being able to 'provide a fairer and more inclusive application process'. A 'tracker system' has been put in place to provide a 50% chance of a ticket for those who attended a 'high' number of away games last feel the multiple tabs option was a fair way to reward those willing to put in the time. Others feel it became a 'closed shop' rewarding those who knew how to play the is understandable that many who did the majority of the miles last term feel this new way of distribution disregards that. It is also understandable that those able to attend only a few games, now feel like they can go to the results of the first ballot for a trip to Arsenal has seen some fans overjoyed with getting tickets, and some feeling disgruntled at missing the opening trip back in the top is guaranteed is that the trains and service stations will still be full of Leeds fans on matchdays, only now with some new faces along for the ride.
