It’s been a horrific season for Leicester City, and the supporters have been made to suffer throughout.
Relegation to the Championship is looking nailed on after Ruud van Nistelrooy lost 12 of his last 13 league matches in charge of the Foxes.
Fans have called for Van Nistelrooy to be sacked as result but he isn’t the only person supporters have aimed their anger towards.
Director of Football Jon Rudkin has faced the brunt of the criticism, with fans demanding him to be axed from his role.
That is largely because their summer transfer window in 2024 was a disaster and he did nothing to repair the damage in January, as Leicester only signed one player.
With the Foxes rooted in 19th position and six points from safety, supporters have already reached boiling point but one announcement has now tipped them over the edge.
Leicester City announce season ticket price freeze for the 2025/26 season
On Friday evening, it was revealed on social media that Leicester have frozen the season ticket prices for the 2025/26 campaign.
There will also be safe standing rails installed in the King Power Stadium to improve the safety, atmosphere and overall matchday experience.
However, whilst safe standing and the match tickets being frozen can be seen as a positive, supporters have taken the update negatively.
Within the article, it says the club will implement digital tickets in compliance with ‘required Premier League standards’, and many have reacted to that statement, claiming the prices should be lowered due to the awful football they’ve watched.
“Should be reducing prices in all honesty,” one fan wrote, while another agreed: “I want a refund as there’s been no football this season.”
“Price freeze? A discount would be a better option… Until you can play football again anyway!” a third exclaimed.
“They should be paying supporters to watch,” one person commented, and another said: “Price freeze because y’all know we’re in the Championship next season.”
“Still won’t be able to afford to come to games so that’s lovely,” a seventh replied.
Leicester fans are right to be annoyed
In some cases, freezing the ticket pricing is fair but in Leicester’s situation, it’s completely out of touch with the fanbase.
The club haven’t acknowledge that, barring any miracles, they will be spending next season battling for promotion out of the Championship.

Their current pricing structure reflects their status as a Premier League club, and unfortunately, fans haven’t received their money’s worth with just two home wins all season.
If anything, the club should have waited till the campaign is done and dusted before informing fans of the ticket pricing, as it’s only added fuel to the fire.
Some accept that they’re going to be paying what they did in the Premier League to watch second-tier football, and that is completely wrong.
