The special free deal for accompanied kids applies to seats as well as standing in the Paddock and Warwick Road End and is on top of further savings for youngsters aged seven to 10, who pay just £3 to go on the terraces or £4 to sit in the stands.

 

There are even more savings for adults and children aged 11 to 17 who buy their tickets in advance. Adults save £2 per seat (£18) or per terrace ticket (£14) with pre-sales bought by 5pm the day before a fixture. The same applies for Juniors (11-17), with the cost cut to £8 or £7 respectively, while OAPs have their prices reduced from £12 to a tenner.

 

The deals mean there are some tremendous value-for-money family packages for less than £20. For example, a parent who buys a seat ticket in advance can also take a child of six to sit alongside him or her for just £18 in total, while a mum or dad with a pre-sale terrace ticket can take an under-seven and a 10-year-old for only £17 all in. For those with bigger families, a parent could take children aged four, six, eight and 10 on the terraces for a combined total of £20 if their tickets were bought in advance.

 

Carlisle United co-owner and managing director John Nixon said: "We are really keen to make Brunton Park a family-friendly place where parents can afford to bring their children to watch football. We realise that today's youngsters are our next generation of fans and we want them to come along at an early age and stay with us."

 

"That is why we have introduced some tremendous offers, including free admission to under-sevens as well special reduced price categories for Children and Juniors in addition to the OAP consessions.

 

"These are great value for money deals which we hope will play a part in helping to attract the crowds to Brunton Park and give us a great atmosphere. We want people of all ages to come along and feel a part of Carlisle United."

 

The ticket deals mentioned above are all available for Saturday's League One fixture at home to Yeovil Town, kick off 3pm. Advance tickets must be bought by 5pm on Friday.
