Blackburn charging Leeds for tickets, more than any club, moved to a Friday night for sky, yet they’ll be still fans who miss out on tickets and looking for spares. Biggest club in championship by a mile. No club can do it like Leeds. pic.twitter.com/qbuCnvEUbM

Well done Blackburn. All clubs should do this for the visit of Leeds. May teach them a lesson for trying for fleece away fans.

— ross knight (@ross_knight98) March 7, 2020
The fact is.
We will sell out.
£20/£30£40
Yes £40 is too dear & we know that it’s too dear for away fans at Elland Road.
However we have the best away support in the Country.. selling out away ends is what we do.

Leeds fans kicking off they’re getting charged £40 by Blackburn is the definition of irony. From what I remember them and Sheffield Wednesday were by far the worst for tickets prices
— Tom (@ToonTom) March 7, 2020
7,700 tickets for Blackburn at £40 a pop on a Friday neet….they'll still not be enough tickets for us and you won't hear too many Leeds fans moaning about the price, we just want to see our team play no matter the cost ….. .ps Bkackburn are gonna seen some right coin ?
— Prem Leeds ?? (@premierleeds2) March 7, 2020
£40 at Blackburn. They are usually much cheaper. They know Leeds will fill it, so they're taking the piss. Inbreds.
Football is shit now. Fans getting ripped off, left, right and centre. https://t.co/5aiWGMOO59— Daniel Doran (@danieldoran86) March 6, 2020
