Leigh Leopards introduced a new membership and ticketing scheme in 2023 which has proven to be a huge success and very popular with our supporters.
The Club now has a membership of over 5,500 which is the highest in the Club’s history.
Most members have embraced the new scheme and used it correctly, but there have also been several significant issues which we wish to bring to the attention of all members and supporters. These are set out below:
- The Club have noticed a rise in supporters trying to access the match days on incorrect memberships and tickets.
- Following a robust checking process at the Catalans fixture, memberships were confiscated from those trying to access the game using membership categories which would not apply to them. For example, an adult using a child’s membership is not permitted as a transferable membership.
- The Club is disappointed that members would attempt to use invalid transferable membership tickets to gain entry.
- Supporters trying to access fixtures using tickets that are not suitable have also been turned away at the turnstiles for an incorrect ticket.
- Leigh Leopards would like to advise all members and supporters that more robust checks will be in place for all fixtures in partnership with Leigh Sports Village.
- We kindly ask for patience and respect towards the stewarding team when they ask to check your ticket or membership.
Memberships:
Members can transfer their membership card to another person if they are unable to attend, provided they are the same level of membership, for example, an adult using another adult’s membership to attend.
However, if that person is not in the same age range or concession category then they MUST ensure they upgrade their membership for that game. Members can do this by attending the ticket office and paying an upgrade ticket price for the fixture.
For example, if you may wish to use your 5 -11 child’s membership (costing £5 per game) for your partner who is an adult (costing £27 per game). This, of course, is not permitted unless you can take your membership to the ticket office and pay the difference of £22 to upgrade the child’s membership for that game. In that instance a paper ticket will be issued in its place. You must upgrade the membership before trying to gain entry to our matchdays.
Transferring a “like for like” membership is permitted but any members that enter the stadium without the correct membership will have their cards confiscated and a warning issued. They will be ejected from the stadium and will need to obtain a correct ticket to re-enter. The card will only be returned to the actual member once the warning has been accepted and understood in writing. If the member is found to breach these conditions a second time, a ban will be imposed, and your membership cancelled without a refund.
Tickets:
Supporters purchasing matchday tickets that are not correct will be ejected or prevented from entering the stadium. Your ticket will be confiscated, and you will not be eligible for a refund. Supporters will then be required to purchase another full price ticket before they will be able to enter. A warning will be recorded on your account, and should you attempt to purchase tickets that are not suitable for you, the club may impose a ban.
