Ipswich Town have issued strict new ticket rules ahead of increased demand from promotion chasing Leeds United fans. The club says changes have been made to the way tickets will be sold for Ipswich's last game of the season against Leeds United. The changes are aimed at stopping Leeds United fans from being able to buy tickets in the Ipswich end, after Leeds sold out their entire 2,000 ticket allocation. They include only selling one ticket per person, to fans who are on the Ipswich Town database as having bought tickets earlier in the season. A spokesman said: "The Elland Road club, who are chasing promotion to the Premier League, have taken their full allocation of 2,000 tickets. "With demand from Leeds fans to attend the game sure to increase, Town have put the following guidelines in place:- "Tickets will only be sold to Town fans who are on the database with purchase history prior to this season. "Tickets will be sold one per person, therefore each ticket must be purchased in individual customer numbers. The ‘friends and family’ option online can be used to enable multiple tickets to be purchased in one transaction. "The print @ home option will NOT be available. All tickets will be posted week commencing April 29. "The Ticket Enquiry Centre will NOT be open for home supporters on the day. The Ticket Office will operate from Constantine Road for this match only."
Home supporters found to be passing their ticket allocation to any away supporter will face a ban from purchasing match tickets at Portman Road.
Surprised they'd limit the away tickets to 2000, though. Portman Road now holds 30K and the biggest attendance this year has been the local derby against Norwich (25,600), but most games are under 20K. It could have been a big pay day for them, especially as they most likely will have been relegated by then.zigzag wrote:I'd like to know how thats acting in the spirit of the game (but as we know things like that only apply to Leeds), penalises home fans too
TBH I can see this becoming a trend when we visit the more tinpot clubs
He's such a likeable chap isn't he. This is right up there with the time he claimed he'd learned everything he knows from a certain Dave Hockaday.Davycc wrote:Jaime Lannister actor trolls Americans by describing Bielsa's rise at Leeds United as Game of Thrones plot
