A number of us are looking to go to the game, I've found tickets from Brighton for £55 which seems pretty good. Does anybody know of better than this? Will this price stay the same or should we book it ASAP? Thanks

Always book ASAP with a train.

Try breaking journey up into parts (Brighton-London , London-Leeds)

Make sure you book the KGX-LDS part together on www.eastcoasttrains.co.uk as you get a group discount when there are three or more of you

Thanks for the advice. I tried from Brighton-London then London-Leeds. I also tied the east coast trains website and they come up at around the same price as I already have with my train tickets app

Don't leave it too late in making advanced bookings , its all about supply and demand plus there will be a fair number of Leeds fans who travel up from London to Elland Road edging the prices up.

The best that I can find from Hastings is £75 which is too much for me. I did, however find a return to Birmingham on 17th August for just £24. Now that is a very tempting price.

Same here Leeds was too expensive for us but £40 return to Birmingham for two people was an absolute bargain, so those were book instead.

It's the first game of the season. The two televised games have been announced for Friday and Saturday evening.

Leeds is always one of the most expensive away days, in comparison you have Birmingham 2 weeks after which is one of the cheapest (travel-wise anyway).

Not true at all.
Only cost us £25 return from KGX last season, £10 more this season as obviously we couldn't book as early.

Im on about all in for Leeds - as they are going to make us Category A again - which will of course mean a £36 match ticket again.

I can never understand why trains are so expensive. Cheapest Leeds return from Posrtslade I found was £ 75 per person. Birmingham away is always a bargain match and tickets for the game usually under £20
