Leeds United's break from play-off ticket pricing tradition has come under fire from unhappy Elland Road season ticket holders.

The Whites confirmed their pricing within an hour of a third-placed Championship finish being confirmed on Saturday, as a loss to Southampton and Ipswich Town's win over Huddersfield Town extended Leeds' season. But the club's announcement informed fans that the play-off semi-final home leg against Norwich City has been deemed a Category A game, with the highest tier of ticket prices.

'The club has said that they're charging in line with what they charge for any game,' Trust chairman Josh Cawthorne told the YEP. 'And I think that to us, what this does is, is really highlight the fact that the pricing for tickets in general is extortionate. I think it also calls into question the use of Category A and Category B pricing. We would have liked to have seen them charge Category B pricing.
