I have a ticket available, due to a mate now having to work Good Friday.

It's an East Stand Unreserved student ticket, £18.

I live in Leeds, so it'd be easier to sell it to someone over here (I know afew post on here). Just PM me if interested.

Cheers.

Have to agree, the £1 for charity isn't the issue but its not a donation, if you want to buy a ticket you are forced to pay the £1, whether you want to donate to the charity or not.

A more generous offer from the club would have been to donate £1 per ticket sold rather then make the fans pay £1 extra

The other thing is can the club legally do this?? Can they just decide to add money to the ticket prices as and when they like to raise money for charity??

On the legal issue the club can chose what ever they want to charge for a game. They should have either offered an opt out for the quid or just said tickets have gone up £1 and by the way there will be a donation made to Children in Need. We could have made as much money if we put the NOrth Stand tickets up by the same % that the Dobbins put their South end Tickets up when we go there!!

Whilst I don't mind paying the extra £1 I do think it's wrong. Fans are being forced to pay when it should have been their choice. A bucket collection would have been much better.

Why? It means the club going to the extent of getting people to do the collection and things.. whereas if they just add it on.. more money guaranteed.. and its no messing about! Easy £20k plus... =)

We don't increase the ticket prices though, we merely put them back to 100%! Why is that so hard to understand?!

Maybe everyone does not want to donate, maybe they have already donated in another way.

Fans are being forced to donate, which is wrong.

If the club want to up the price off the tickets that is their option, but to decide that we will be forced to pay £1 extra and make out it is a donation is wrong - a donation is a voluntary gift, this £1 is not, you are forced to pay it or you won't get a ticket.

Your right it is easy money for the club to get in but they could have done that by making a £1 donation from the cost of the tickets, and it would have made the club look good, rather then adding £1 per ticket and making you pay for it.

Donations by title mean that its a choice to donate. They would be called a mandatory deduction and should be in this case if the choice was not made. Can people opt out of paying the £1 extra if they dont want to support the charity?
