Around 60 miles east, Hull have turned 1,105 places in the visiting section of the MKM Stadium into rail seating for safe standing. Whether you are bound for the Elland Road away end or the north-east corner at the MKM, the two Yorkshire grounds now run on very different rules, and both are hosting Premier League football in the same season for the first time.
Article Summary: Away supporters at Leeds sit in the south end of the John Charles West Stand and enter through Entrances 1 and 2, while visitors to Hull use the north-east corner of the MKM Stadium through turnstiles 47 to 50 and 1 to 5. Tickets come only through the visiting club, both grounds are cashless and both limit bags to A4.
- Premier League away tickets are capped at £30 until the end of the 2027/28 season, after clubs agreed a two-season extension on 19 March 2026.
- Leeds Railway Station is a 35 to 40 minute walk from Elland Road, and the R2 matchday shuttle runs from Sovereign Street.
- Hull Paragon Interchange is a 21-minute walk from the MKM Stadium, using a link route that opens only on matchdays, according to Hull City Council.
- Hull City host Leeds United on Tuesday 29 December 2026 at 7.30pm, the first Premier League meeting between the two clubs.
Both clubs are in the top flight in 2026/27, Leeds in their second consecutive Premier League season and Hull after winning the Championship play-off final against Middlesbrough at Wembley in May 2026. That means supporters from 19 visiting clubs head to each ground this season, and the logistics change fast during a rebuild. This guide covers both away days in detail, from Leeds United tickets and Hull City tickets to the shuttle times, pubs and entry rules that catch first-time visitors out.
Yorkshire's Two Premier League Away Days Side by Side
The quickest way to plan is to compare the two grounds on the details that decide your day. Elland Road is the larger ground, with more complicated access while the West Stand is redeveloped. The MKM Stadium is the simpler one, with a walkable route from the station and a car park next to the ground that still takes visitors.
| Detail | Elland Road (Leeds United) | MKM Stadium (Hull City) |
|---|---|---|
| Visiting section | South end of the John Charles West Stand, upper tier first, lower tier for bigger allocations | North-east corner across the North and East Stands |
| Typical allocation | Close to 3,000 (Tottenham received 2,960 in November 2026) | Up to about 2,500 (Tottenham received 2,459 in November 2026) |
| Safe standing for visitors | Most of Tottenham's 2,960 tickets were safe standing | 1,105 rail seats in the visiting section |
| Entrances | Entrances 1 and 2 and the Howards Bar Entrance, depending on allocation | Turnstiles 47 to 50 and 1 to 5, lift via Gate 46 |
| Turnstiles open | Two hours before for Tottenham (10.30am for 12.30pm); check each match notice | Typically 90 minutes before kick-off |
| Bags | A4 maximum (297mm x 210mm), no backpacks, no storage | A4 maximum, no rucksacks, no bag drop |
| Payments | Cashless inside (programmes £4, cash only) | Cashless |
| Nearest station | Leeds, 35 to 40 minutes on foot | Hull Paragon Interchange, about 21 minutes on foot |
| Parking for away fans | None at the ground for the Tottenham match on 7 November 2026 | Walton Street car park, £6, card only (October 2026) |
Figures are taken from Leeds United, Hull City Council and the visiting supporter notices published by Tottenham Hotspur and Brentford between October and November 2026. Each club's notice for your own match is the final word, because allocation sizes and parking change from game to game. For the wider picture of top-flight pricing and demand, the Premier League tickets range shows every remaining 2026/27 match at both grounds.
Where Visiting Supporters Sit at Elland Road
Away fans at Leeds are not behind a goal. Leeds United place visiting supporters in the south end of the John Charles West Stand, the main stand on the tunnel side, so you watch the match side-on from the south end of the main stand. The upper tier takes the core of the allocation, and the lower tier opens when the visiting club takes more. Tottenham were given 2,960 tickets for their visit on 7 November 2026, including 15 wheelchair and 24 ambulant places, close to the Premier League's 3,000 minimum for grounds over 30,000.
The tier matters for your view. Supporting pillars run along the front of the upper tier and can block part of the pitch from some seats, while the lower tier has no pillars but a shallower rake, which makes the far touchline harder to read. Rail seats now cover parts of the away section, and Tottenham told supporters in October 2026 that the majority of their Elland Road allocation was safe standing. Rail seats allow standing rather than require it, so supporters who need a seat should say so when they apply through their own club. The Elland Road seating plan shows exactly where the visiting blocks sit against the home stands.
Treat older figures with care. Several ground guides still quote 1,566 for the upper tier and about 2,670 in total, but Elland Road holds about 37,600 and Leeds publish the Premier League rule that clubs above 30,000 must offer 3,000 away tickets. The number in your own club's sale notice, and its split between standing and seated places, is the one to trust for any given match.
Entrances and the away ticket office
According to Leeds United, visiting supporters use Entrances 1 and 2 and, for bigger allocations, the Howards Bar Entrance. The turnstiles sit in the West Stand car park next to the away fan zone. Supporters with accessible tickets enter by a ramp at the Exit W1 gate, just beside Entrances 1 and 2. The away ticket office, also next to the visiting turnstiles, opens 90 minutes before kick-off and deals with duplicate and paper tickets for fans whose club has already allocated them a seat.
For a closer look at the stands, tiers and restricted views across the whole ground, the Elland Road tickets guide covers every stand and the redevelopment timeline.
The North-East Corner and Safe Standing at the MKM
The MKM Stadium away section wraps the north-east corner, spanning the end of the North Stand and the adjoining East Stand. It is a compact, enclosed bowl, and ground guides describe the visiting view as very good, with no pillars and plenty of room. In a season where Hull are back in the top flight, most of the corner is now rail seating.
Hull FC, who share the MKM with Hull City, announced in April 2025 that 2,679 seats would be converted to rail seats for licensed safe standing, 1,574 in home areas and 1,105 in the away section, after consultation with the Sports Ground Safety Authority and the local Safety Advisory Group. The work was completed for the 2025/26 season. When Tottenham opened their ballot for the trip in November 2026, the club told fans that most of the visiting section had safe standing rails and that supporters who could not stand for the whole match would be contacted about requesting a seat.
That last point is the practical one. If you need a seat, tell your own club when you apply, rather than hoping to swap on the day. The MKM Stadium seating plan shows how the corner sits against the home North Stand, where the loudest Hull supporters gather.
The ground is shared with Hull FC, so the pitch and surroundings are busy year-round, and the full guide to MKM Stadium tickets covers the stands, hospitality and history for anyone planning a longer visit.

How Away Tickets Reach Travelling Supporters
Away tickets for both grounds are sold by the visiting club, not by Leeds or Hull. Each Premier League club splits its allocation through its own system, usually season ticket holders and members ranked by loyalty points, sometimes through a ballot when demand is high. Leeds United state that every ticket sold at the Elland Road ticket office on matchday is for home fans only, so there is no turning up and buying a seat in the visiting section.
The price is the easy part. Premier League clubs agreed on 19 March 2026 to extend the £30 cap on away tickets for two more seasons, to the end of 2027/28. Many clubs charge less for younger and older fans. Tottenham's prices for their MKM trip were £30 for adults aged 23 to 64, £25 for seniors and 16 to 22-year-olds and £14 for juniors aged two to 15. For how away prices compare with home prices across the league, the Premier League ticket price index tracks both.
The rules that come with an away ticket
- Away tickets are personal. Tottenham's Hull ballot warned that passing on or selling a ticket at or below face value brings a written warning and a 50% points cut, and selling above face value brings an indefinite ban.
- Unwanted tickets go back to the club. Tottenham ask fans who cannot travel to contact the ticket office as early as possible and refund only when the seat is reallocated; other clubs set their own terms.
- Age rules are set by the visiting club. Tottenham admitted no children under two and required under-14s to attend with an adult aged 18 or over.
- Tickets usually arrive as digital wallet passes during match week, and clubs can ask random supporters to collect in person.
Fans without enough points often look elsewhere, and this is where care matters. Visiting supporters belong in the visiting section. Segregation applies at both grounds, and stewards can remove anyone in a part of the stadium set aside for a different group of supporters, whatever ticket they hold. Home-section seats on the 1BoxOffice marketplace are for neutrals, home fans and international visitors who want to see a Premier League match, not a back door into the away end. Tottenham's own route is explained in the guide to Tottenham away tickets, and the broader options for fans without a membership are covered in buying Premier League tickets without a membership.
This is general guidance, not legal advice. Under section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, as amended in 2007, it is an offence for an unauthorised person to sell a ticket for a designated football match or otherwise to dispose of one to another person. Selling includes advertising that a ticket is available for purchase and making a ticket available for sale by another, and a seller counts as authorised only with written authorisation from the match organisers. Designated matches include Premier League games involving English clubs. Tickets for Leeds United and Hull City matches on 1BoxOffice are listed by independent sellers through the marketplace.
Matches at Elland Road and the MKM This Winter
Both grounds host a run of evening and weekend matches between now and early March, with the derby at Hull falling between Christmas and New Year. The Premier League confirmed the festive dates on 19 October 2026. Other times below are as listed on 1BoxOffice on 11 November 2026, and television selections can still move them.
| Date | Kick-off | Match | Ground |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sun 22 Nov 2026 | 2pm | Hull City vs Brighton | MKM Stadium |
| Sat 28 Nov 2026 | 3pm | Leeds United vs Coventry City | Elland Road |
| Wed 2 Dec 2026 | 7.30pm | Hull City vs Nottingham Forest | MKM Stadium |
| Sat 5 Dec 2026 | 3pm | Leeds United vs Ipswich Town | Elland Road |
| Mon 14 Dec 2026 | 8pm | Hull City vs Tottenham Hotspur | MKM Stadium |
| Sat 19 Dec 2026 | 3pm | Leeds United vs Fulham | Elland Road |
| Sat 26 Dec 2026 | 5.30pm | Hull City vs Liverpool | MKM Stadium |
| Tue 29 Dec 2026 | 7.30pm | Hull City vs Leeds United | MKM Stadium |
| Fri 1 Jan 2027 | 8pm | Leeds United vs Everton | Elland Road |

| Sat 23 Jan 2027 | 3pm | Leeds United vs Chelsea | Elland Road |
| Wed 3 Mar 2027 | 8pm | Leeds United vs Hull City | Elland Road |
Six of those 13 matches start at 7.30pm or later, which changes everything about getting home. Big travelling clubs feature too. Supporters following their side to Hull on Boxing Day can check how Liverpool away tickets are allocated, and the same applies to Manchester City away tickets for the Elland Road night match on 6 January, Arsenal away tickets for Hull in January and Brighton away tickets for the trip on 22 November.
Leeds Station to Elland Road: Walk, Shuttle or Bus
Elland Road sits in Beeston, south-west of the city centre, and Leeds Railway Station is a 35 to 40 minute walk away, according to Tottenham's November 2026 notice. Direct trains from London King's Cross take just over two hours, although Brentford warned its fans in August 2026 that LNER maintenance work had stretched some journeys to four hours or more, so check before you book.
Most visitors take the R2 matchday shuttle from Sovereign Street, outside Caffè Nero, a short walk south of the station. The published timetable from First Bus and Leeds United starts the R2 150 minutes before kick-off. Some visiting club notices have quoted 90 minutes, so check your own match notice and aim to reach Sovereign Street at least two hours before kick-off.
| Route | Where from | When | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Walk | Leeds Railway Station | 35 to 40 minutes | Busy main roads through Holbeck; allow longer after the match |
| R2 shuttle | Sovereign Street, outside Caffè Nero | From 150 minutes before kick-off; check your match notice | Single tickets for the return are sold only after the match |
| R3 shuttle | Thornbury Barracks and Pudsey Bus Station | From 90 minutes before kick-off | Useful for fans parking west of the city |
| R4 shuttle | Elland Road | After the match only | Runs to Morley Town Hall |
| Buses 51 and 52 | Corn Exchange, Vicar Lane (Stop D) | Regular service | Stops outside the ground suspended one hour before and after kick-off |
| Buses 55 and 55C | City Square, Park Row (Stop G) | Regular service | Same suspension applies |
Leeds United recommend the First Bus app for tickets and journey planning on matchday services. After the final whistle, the walk back to the station can be quicker than the shuttle queue for anyone who travels light and moves early. Leeds United have 10 more home league matches between 28 November and 13 March, and the evening dates need the most planning.
Driving to Elland Road While the West Stand Is Rebuilt
Do not count on parking at the ground. The redevelopment that will take Elland Road towards 53,000 seats is happening around the stadium this season, and Tottenham told fans for their 7 November visit that there was no car parking available to away supporters, advising drivers to park in the city centre. Brentford's notice in August pointed fans towards park and ride instead, so the arrangement can differ by match.
From 2026/27, Leeds United run the council car parks around the stadium on a pre-booked basis only. The club's travel guidance lists spaces at £13 per car with priority for season ticket holders and members, fans without a booking are turned away, and those car parks sold out for the Tottenham match. For that match Leeds also offered off-site parking at White Rose Office Park for £9.50, and park and ride from Stourton and Temple Green at £6.50 per person or £21 per car, all booked in advance. Temple Green does not run for Sunday home matches. Whether visiting fans can book any of these depends on what the club releases for your match, so read your own club's notice before you set off.
- Supporters' coaches and minibuses use the away coach park, which Leeds cap at 24 coaches, pre-booked match by match at £61 per coach or £25 per minibus.
- Lowfields Road closes one hour before kick-off, and vehicles are held until fans clear after the match, with a 30 to 60 minute delay expected.
- Elland Road itself closes 15 minutes before the final whistle until at least an hour after the match.
- The residential streets of Beeston carry matchday restrictions, so street parking near the turnstiles is a gamble.
The practical answer for most drivers is to park in central Leeds, then walk or take the R2, which keeps the car clear of the post-match road closures.
Hull Paragon to the MKM: the 21-Minute Walk
Hull is the easier trip once you arrive. Hull City Council puts the MKM Stadium 21 minutes on foot from Hull Paragon Interchange, the combined rail and bus station in the city centre. The most direct route runs along Park Street and Londesborough Street, then through the stadium link route from Argyle Street, which the council says opens only on matchdays and for major events such as Hull Fair.
Paragon has direct trains to Leeds, Sheffield, Doncaster, Manchester and Selby, so most visitors change at Leeds or Doncaster. Hull sits at the end of the line, which matters for evening matches: there is no later train passing through, so the last direct service of the night is the one to plan around.
- Buses stop on Anlaby Road, opposite the stadium. Stagecoach service 2 runs from the city centre, and services 51 to 58 also serve the stop, according to Hull City Council.
- Priory Park and Ride runs dedicated Stagecoach services to and from the stadium on matchdays.
- Walton Street car park, next to the ground, takes home and away supporters for £6 per vehicle, card or contactless only, and Blue Badge holders park free, according to Brentford's notice of 22 October 2026.
- There are 73 cycle racks with 146 spaces around the stadium.
- Taxis wait at Paragon Interchange, but traffic around West Park builds in the hour before kick-off.
Walton Street or the park and ride is a safer bet than hunting for kerbside spaces in the streets around West Park. Hull City host Premier League football at the MKM every two or three weeks through the winter, so the routine soon becomes familiar.
Where Away Fans Can Drink in Leeds and Hull
The short answer at Leeds is inside the perimeter or in the city centre. Tottenham's November 2026 notice said no pubs near Elland Road accept away supporters, and The Old Peacock, directly opposite the ground, is a long-standing home pub. The away fan zone in the West Stand car park, next to the visiting turnstiles, opened two hours before a 12.30pm kick-off for Tottenham, served alcoholic and soft drinks with food and stayed open to visitors at half-time.
Howards Bar is the one to watch. Football Ground Guide described it in July 2026 as a supporters' bar for away fans with a valid away ticket, and Leeds still list a Howards Bar Entrance for bigger visiting allocations. Recent visiting club notices point fans to the fan zone instead, so treat Howards as a bonus if your club's notice mentions it.
Hull is more relaxed, but the same principle applies near the ground. Football Ground Guide's August 2026 round-up says pubs close to the MKM mainly serve home fans on matchday, and visitors should avoid going in wearing colours.
| Pub or venue | City | Where | Away fans? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Away fan zone | Leeds | West Stand car park, beside the visiting turnstiles | Yes, away ticket holders |
| Howards Bar | Leeds | By the away turnstiles | Described as away-only in July 2026; check your club's notice |
| City centre pubs | Leeds | Around the station and Sovereign Street | Several admit visitors at the landlord's discretion; keep colours covered |
| The Old Peacock | Leeds | Opposite Elland Road | No, home pub |
| Admiral of the Humber | Hull | Wetherspoons near Paragon Interchange | Yes, easiest option for larger groups |
| Ye Olde White Harte | Hull | Off Silver Street in the Old Town, about 25 minutes' walk from the ground | Yes, recommended for visitors |
| The Minerva | Hull | Beside Hull Marina | Yes, good for making a day of it |
| Pubs by the ground | Hull | Anlaby Road and West Park | Mainly home fans on matchday |
Inside the MKM, a pint was around £4 in August 2026, according to Football Ground Guide. Food and drink are on sale in the away section before kick-off and during the match.
Getting Through the Turnstiles: Bags, Screening and Payments
Both grounds limit you to an A4 bag, and neither will store anything bigger, so the rule is simple: leave the rucksack at your hotel or at home. Leeds United's security page says any bag larger than A4 will be turned away and that backpacks are not permitted at all. Hull limit small bags to A4, which Football Ground Guide gives as 30cm x 21cm x 5cm, and refuse rucksacks, backpacks and suitcases.
| Rule | Elland Road | MKM Stadium |
|---|---|---|
| Bag size | A4 maximum (297mm x 210mm), no backpacks | A4 maximum (30cm x 21cm x 5cm) |
| Bag storage | None | None |
| Screening | Ticket check at the blue gate, body and bag search, then electronic scan; Evolv walk-through scanners | All bags checked before entry |
| Medical exemptions | Email the club at least 48 hours before, subject line "Medical Exemption" | Contact the club in advance |
| Payment | Cashless; programmes £4, cash only | Cashless |
| Flags | Nothing over 5ft x 3ft in the away section; fire certificate required; no poles | Check with the visiting club's supporter liaison officer |
| Readmission | None | Not published; assume none |
Leeds ask supporters to arrive 60 to 90 minutes before kick-off to clear security. The Evolv system uses AI-assisted scanning as you walk through, so keep your coat and bag on and do not empty your pockets unless a steward asks. Cans, glass bottles and outside alcohol are refused at both grounds, and Football Ground Guide also lists flasks and large umbrellas among the items turned away at Hull.
Accessible Travel for Disabled Away Supporters
Wheelchair and ambulant places in both away sections are sold by the visiting club as part of its allocation, so the first call is always your own club's disability liaison officer. Tottenham's allocation for Hull included 15 wheelchair bays and 15 ambulant spaces with free assistant passes.
| Provision | Elland Road | MKM Stadium |
|---|---|---|
| Step-free entry | Ramp at the Exit W1 gate beside Entrances 1 and 2 | Lift access via Gate 46 |
| Wheelchair spaces | 170 across the ground; away places sold by the visiting club | Set within each visiting allocation |
| Help on the day | Wellbeing officers in blue high-visibility vests; grab bags on request | Accessibility stewards in purple vests |
| Toilets | Accessible toilets on a RADAR key from stewards | Ask the Accessibility Hub before travelling |
| Accessible parking | Four away spaces for the Tottenham match, all allocated | Free for Blue Badge holders at Walton Street |
| Contact | Disability Liaison Officer, 0113 367 6526 | Accessibility Hub, 01482 358303 |
One conflict to check: Leeds United's access statement lists a Changing Places facility in the south-west corner, reached through a steward or wellbeing officer, while Tottenham's November notice told visitors there were none available to them. Ask the Leeds disability team before travelling if you need one.
The Yorkshire Derby on 29 December and 3 March
Leeds and Hull have never met in the Premier League. Their top-flight spells have not overlapped since the competition began in 1992, so the two matches this season are firsts. Around 60 miles separate the two grounds, close enough for a day trip by train in either direction.
The Premier League set the MKM match for Tuesday 29 December at 7.30pm, live on Sky Sports, and some older listings still show Wednesday 30 December. The return at Elland Road is listed for Wednesday 3 March 2027 at 8pm. Both are dark, cold midweek nights, which brings three practical problems:
- Getting home. A 7.30pm kick-off finishes around 9.25pm, and the walk back to Paragon takes at least 20 minutes in a crowd. Check the last direct train to Leeds before you buy anything else.
- The cold. Ground guides warn that the MKM away corner is exposed to the wind on winter nights, so wear layers, gloves and a hat at both grounds.
- Demand. Short trips sell out fast, so expect both visiting allocations to go to the most loyal members first.
Fans travelling for the return at Elland Road should leave earlier than usual. A midweek 8pm start means arriving in Leeds during the evening rush hour on the M621 and the local rail network.
TV Moves, Midweek Nights and Getting Home
Television selections are the main reason Yorkshire away days go wrong. Six of the 13 matches in the table above start at 7.30pm or later, and dates can still move after you have booked trains and hotels. Buy flexible train tickets, or advance fares you can afford to lose, and do not book a hotel on a non-refundable rate until the broadcast picks for that weekend are published.
- Leeds: walk to the station if you can, as the R2 queue after the match can take longer than the 35-minute walk.
- Hull: check the last direct train west before you book, because the city is at the end of the line and an overnight stay is often cheaper than a missed connection.
- Both grounds: road closures and held traffic mean cars are slower than feet for the first hour after the final whistle.
Midweek nights also bring cup football. If either club draws a home tie in the later rounds of the EFL Cup, that brings a fresh visiting allocation, often with different prices to league matches. EFL Cup tickets cover the remaining rounds once draws are made.
Cup Ties at Elland Road and the MKM
Leeds and Hull enter the FA Cup at the third round in January, alongside every other Premier League club. Cup ties change the away day in two ways. Allocations follow FA rules rather than the league's, and visiting clubs often get a larger share, so the lower tier at Elland Road and more of the North and East Stands at the MKM can open to visitors. Prices are set by the home club and are not covered by the £30 league cap.
The logistics in this guide still apply: the same entrances, the same bag rules and the same transport. What changes is the date, which is fixed only once the draw is made and the broadcasters have chosen their matches. FA Cup tickets cover every round from the third onwards.
Staying Over or Flying In for a Yorkshire Away Day
For an evening kick-off, staying over is often the cheaper option once you price a taxi home or a missed connection. Central Leeds has the most hotels, and staying near the station puts the R2 and the walk within easy reach. Hull is smaller, with hotels around Paragon and the Old Town, and the MKM is walkable from both. Book early for the derby, which falls in the festive week.
Supporters flying in from abroad usually land at Manchester Airport, which has direct trains to Leeds, with Hull about an hour further east. Fans from the Gulf should check the UK entry guide for Gulf football fans before booking, since an Electronic Travel Authorisation (a short online permit for visa-free visitors) is now needed for most short stays.
International visitors who are not following a visiting club have different routes in. The guides to Leeds United tickets without a membership and Hull City tickets without a membership explain the home-side options, while Leeds United hospitality and Hull City hospitality cover lounge packages that combine a padded seat with dining. If Yorkshire is part of a longer trip, the Manchester away matchday guide is an hour west by train and the Merseyside away matchday guide covers Anfield and the new Everton ground.
Away Day Timeline and Checklist
Working back from a 3pm kick-off, this is how a smooth Yorkshire away day runs. Shift every time by the same amount for evening matches.
| Time before kick-off | Elland Road | MKM Stadium |
|---|---|---|
| Match week | Save your digital pass to your phone wallet; check your club's notice for parking and the R2 start time | Save your digital pass; tell your club if you need a seat rather than a rail place |
| 3 hours | Arrive at Leeds station; eat or drink in the city centre | Arrive at Paragon; head to the Old Town or the Admiral of the Humber |
| 2 hours | Head for the R2 at Sovereign Street or start the walk | Still in town; the ground is only 21 minutes away |
| 2 hours to 90 minutes | Away turnstiles and fan zone open (two hours before for Tottenham); check your match notice | Turnstiles open; start the walk via the matchday link route |
| 60 minutes | Clear the three-stage security check | Through the turnstiles and into the away corner |
| Full time | Walk or queue for the R2; Elland Road is closed to traffic | Walk back to Paragon; check the last train west |
- Charge your phone, because both grounds rely on digital passes and card payments.
- Carry a little cash at Leeds for the £4 programme.
- Pack layers for winter evenings, especially in the MKM away corner.
- Bring a bag no bigger than A4, or none at all.
- Follow your club's matchday channel and @LUFC_WYP on X for West Yorkshire Police updates at Leeds.
