EARLY BUY SEASON TICKETS - SAVE MORE!
Posted on: Thu 23 Apr 2009
Carlisle United fans can save themselves an EXTRA £20 off the price of a season ticket if they buy one before the end of this month thanks to a new offer.
The Blues are freezing season ticket prices right across the board for 2009/10 - the third year in a row that there has been no increase.
Just like for the current 2008/09 campaign, a two-price system will again operate during the summer, meaning season tickets will be available at the same reduced Early Buy rate for 2009-10 if bought before June 12.
But under a further cost-cutting initiative, supporters can actually pay £20 less than last year's lower prices if they take advantage of an additonal new Early Buy option by purchasing a season ticket before next Thursday (April 30).
The new pre-May Early Buy option is being introduced for the first time this year on top of other existing schemes to help fans afford season tickets during the recession, such as spreading payments over five monthly installments by standing order from July.
The new April 30 offer means fans can save £50 by purchasing their season tickets before the first Early Buy deadline. For example, the most expensive adult seated season ticket will cost £340 before April 30, rising to £360 from May 1 until June 12 and then £390. The lowest of those three prices means the season ticket holder is gaining free entry to SIX league fixtures on the equivalent match day prices for the same seat. The equivalent £50 staggered savings on an adult terraced season ticket reduce the cost to £260, £280 and £310.
Managing director John Nixon said: "We fully understand how the recession is hitting a lot of our fans and the club as well, so we have introduced a new Early Buy option on season tickets as another incentive which will hopefully help everyone.
"I know some people decide not to buy a season ticket because they might miss a couple of matches for something like a wedding or a holiday during the season but adults can now get into the equivalent of six league matches for free if they buy a seat for 2009/10 before April 30.
"We were adamant that we were not going to put the cost of season tickets up for the new season - and we have achieved that. But now we can actually offer season tickets to fans at a lower price if they buy them before April 30 thanks to the even earlier Early Buy option."
There are some other great Early Buy season ticket offers, with family enclosure passes available for combinations of one adult and up to two children of various ages from £260 if bought before April 30. Adult season tickets start at the same price and from £185 for seniors (standing) before April 30, while children can get a terraced season ticket for just £35. That works out at up to 11 free matches for children or six for adults and seven for seniors over the whole season when compared to pay-on-the-day admission. Admission to all matches is free for under-sevens if they are accompanied by a paying adult.
Carlisle United have 2,700 season ticket holders for the current season - a total bettered only during the club's solitary season in the top flight back in 1974-75.
