The latest ticket sales have been revealed by Leeds United and Southampton for this weekend’s 2024 Championship Playoff Final.
Daniel Farke’s Leeds sealed their spot in the final after a dominant 4-0 thrashing of Norwich City in the second leg of the semi-final. Ilia Gruev, Joel Piroe, Georginio Rutter, and Crysencio Summerville all found the back of the net, a win that led to the David Wagner departing the Canaries.
On the other hand, Southampton overcame West Bromw with a 3-1 win in their semi-final second leg, courtesy of goals from Adam Armstrong and Will Smallbone. Crowd troubled at the end of the game marred that one.
Southampton picked up victories over Leeds twice this season, a 3-1 win at St Mary’s Stadium and then 2-1 at Elland Road in a crucial match just a few weeks ago.
However, Leeds had previously won four out of their last seven games against Southampton, with two matches ending in draws (1-1 and 2-2).
This fixture has seen plenty of goals over the years, setting the stage for an exciting final this weekend.

Not long now, Saints fans! This Sunday more than 35,000 Saints fans will descend on Wembley for the Sky Bet Championship play-off final, as Southampton take on Leeds United for a place in next season’s Premier League.
To help you plan your day and make the most of this momentous occasion, here’s some key information that might help you decide where you want to be and when…
All match tickets have now SOLD OUT, with the full 35,667 allocation snapped up by Saints fans. Never in doubt – thank you for your incredible support!
All official coach travel has also sold out. Coaches will depart St Mary’s Stadium at 9.30am BST
The stadium will open its doors from 8am BST, with breakfast rolls and drinks to be served in the Itchen South concourse
Face painters will be on site from 8am BST and then on selected coaches, painting fans all the way to Wembley. Please arrive early if this is of interest – we can’t afford to delay the coaches’ departure time!
The Stadium Store will also open from 8am BST, giving fans one last chance to buy Saints merchandise and show off your colours with pride at Wembley
On arrival at Wembley:
Saints have been allocated the West Fan Zone at Wembley Stadium – this is located outside Wembley Arena. For those approaching the stadium from Wembley Park Underground Station (the most convenient tube stop), the West Fan Zone can be found on the right-hand side at the end of Olympic Way/Wembley Way (see the red triangle on the map below)
The Fan Zone will be open from 11am-2.30pm BST, with last drink orders at 2pm BST. After that, supporters will be encouraged to head into the stadium. Match tickets will need to be shown for entry into the Fan Zone, which has a limited capacity of around 2,300
The Fan Zone will include a big screen and stage with a presenter, DJ and live music from Moonrunners, Calum Lintott, David Littleton and of course Saints Brass. Interviews with special guests will also take place on stage alongside competitions, giveaways, mascots and face painting
There will be an abundance of food and drink options outside the stadium, and a Jameson bus within the Fan Zone. Supporters are reminded not to bring their own alcohol to the stadium or surrounding areas as this will be taken away immediately and fines will be issued
Fans can bring empty plastic water bottles (500ml max) as there will be refill stations. Any bags must be no bigger than an A4 piece of paper

@rmstrs: I expect they’ll all be snapped up by Leeds fans who, judging by things I’ve read on this platform, are currently on course to have around 43,000,000 fans in the Saints end.
@tomo_w94: So after all the #saintsfc ‘banter’ about selling out… Turns out they are getting an extra 1k because the Southampton cooperate seats didn’t sell out 😂😂😂 Oh how we’ve come full circle.
