Leigh to charge £30 on matchdays in 2023

[Jughead]

The Leigh Leopards have released their prices for 2023 today and it’s going to be £30 on the day to watch Leigh, including to stand. It seems social media isn’t too pleased with such pricing. 

[LeeF]

Bargain. All those Leopards/ Jaguars. Cheaper than the Zoo

[Chrispmartha]

They’ve got to pay for that expensive branding work somehow

‘Ow much? Tha won’t get many from Yawksher at those prices.

We don't anyway 

[The 4 of Us]

Have we clarified it’s actually charging and not paying?

Likely won't be getting many from anywhere (including Leigh). £30 to stand on matchdays is silly, have they been taking pricing lessons from the WC organisers?

[Tommygilf]

Perhaps this is a ploy to get people who would stand in the end to sit in the side facing the TV...

So what price does it need to be to entice you to come Tommy ? 

[Andrewj]

£27 If you pay in advance..not hard to do online purchases!!

I'm nowhere the target audience, but to compare with Headingley, to stand, either at the end or in the South Stand Terrace, you're talking £24-27 (goes up £3 on the day).

A £30 flat fee to me suggests wanting to push people who aren't season ticket holders into the seated sections of the ground as they are "better value".

What was the prices last season, and the last seasons in SL?

Andrew , don't worry about it , just another have a go at Leigh thread , the price is the price , pay it if you want , or don't as the case may be 

[The Hallucinating Goose]

I believe £29 is the cheapest standard ticket at Hull these days so Leigh aren't the only ones with extortionate prices.

So you weren't coming anyway , sounds about right , very poor support from Leeds back in 2017 , don't expect any difference next year 

[hw88]

£30 to stand on the terraces and watch a game of rugby league is way too much but I suppose they have overheads to cover and reckon that is the lowest feasible price they can get away with.

All sport is overpriced these days - they want £15 to watch Chester FC and they are in the 6th tier of football!

The most I've ever paid for a sporting event was £65 to see the Cubs v the White Sox. I only paid that because it was a one-off event that was never likely to happen again (to me that is)!

How did you decide that from what I put, I literally said nothing about it and your previous "reply" made no reference to it.

Doesn't mean you have to sit in it. Most of our fans are leaving with half hour to go anyway these days so you don't get your money's worth. 

[Leigh-On-Kiwi]

In terms of inflation the ticket prices haven't had such an excessive increase over the years...

True of course, but you have the option.

This is set to be the most expensive standing terrace in Super League, that isn't normal.

As it will be for away fans at the LSV , will you be one ?
