Hide AdFinc Social, the marketing agency leading this campaign, told the Yorkshire Post the business decided to giveaway the tickets in a ‘Willy Wonka’ golden ticket style competition.
Every time an order is placed for the ‘LUFC Munch Box’ – which contains a range of items from a burger to chicken tikka – fans have the chance to get their hands on tickets.
The spokesperson said: “Basically, we sponsored Leeds United at the start of the season which is a massive step for the shop as it was a huge out-going but they've seen rapid growth over the last year.
“So off the back of the sponsorship we decided to launch an "LUFC Munchbox" and do a Willy Wonka style giveaway with the Leeds Game tickets we were allocated from the club after becoming their official sponsor.”
