Leeds United outline available options in return for tickets purchased for Fulham and Luton Town games

Included is an option to support the Academy, whereby a supporter's rebate will aid the development of young players within the club Academy and help to develop the stars of the future.

The Elland Road fixtures against Fulham and Luton are the first two home games on the remaining fixture list set to be affected by the country's battle against coronavirus which is leading to the remainder of the Championship season being played behind closed doors.

The EFL has provisionally set the weekend of June 20 as a restart date and the home games against Fulham and Luton follow the away trip to Cardiff City on the fixture list.

For general admission tickets purchased for the Fulham clash, fans can either choose to use their money spent to support the academy, purchase a retail gift card with 20 per cent extra thrown in for free, retain value 'on account' or have a refund.

The support the Academy, retain value 'on account' and refund options are also available in return for tickets purchased for the Luton game with the fourth option being a club bundle whereby supporters will receive a package of a live match stream plus a club retail gift card.

Leeds will take the face value of match tickets and deduct the value of the live stream (£10) and then add an additional 20 per cent extra to the balance on a club retail gift card.

The retail gift card can be redeemed online or in-store and the deadline for this option is Monday, June 22.

Leeds say an email will be sent in the next few days to all lead applicants, along with a link to an online form for supporters to complete and choose from one of the following rebate options.

The deadline to complete the online form is Friday, July 3, 2020.

If fans do not respond by the deadline date then the club will automatically apply Option 1 and any rebates due will be donated to the Leeds United Academy.

Supporters must complete the official online rebate request form; we will not be accepting any requests via email.
