Thu 26 Jul, 2018
Junior supporters are in with the chance to become a matchday mascot for the pre-season friendly fixture against Las Palmas on Sunday afternoon.
Following the reveal of the new Leeds United home strip for the 2018/19 season earlier this week, junior supporters who purchase the kit from the official club store at the Merrion Centre on Friday 27 July – after it goes on sale at 5pm, will be in with the chance of winning the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
One junior supporter, aged from 5 to 15, will be chosen at random during their visit to the store located in the Merrion Centre on Friday evening and given a ‘golden ticket’ on purchase, allowing them to walk their team out against Las Palmas at the weekend, courtesy of club sponsor Utilita Energy.
The winner will receive two match tickets for the match that will kick-off at 3pm on Sunday 29 July at Elland Road, so they can bring an accompanying adult along with them.
Aside from the chance to become mascot there will also be a facepainter on-hand, inflatable’s for the youngsters to enjoy, a visit from Lucas the Kop Cat and an appearance from two first-team players who will have photos with fans purchasing the new strip.
Current Season Ticket Holders still have the chance to apply for a VIP priority pass for each store which means they will be allowed access into the store first; supporters can click here to register.
The tickets are given out on a first-come-first-serve basis.
For all fans that don’t have a priority access ticket they can turn still turn up in store from 5pm to enjoy the entertainment on offer at the Merrion Centre.
These fans will have access in store once those with tickets have purchased their kits.
The replica shirt will be available in sizes XS to XXXXL and retails at £50 for adults with shorts and socks at £25 and £12 respectively. Junior sizes are available at £40 with shorts available for £22 and socks at £10.
The special ladies fit shirt will not be available to purchase until a later date, this will be confirmed shortly.
