Season Ticket Prices UP!!

Leicester City fans will have to pay 10 per cent more for their season tickets from next month.


Owner and chairman Milan Mandaric ordered a price freeze until May 31 and sales have been "encouraging", according to the club.

From June 1, however, prices will rise across the board, which means the cheapest adult ticket going up from £275 to £303.

Season tickets for the Kop and the Marks Electrical Family Stand will both increase from £322 to £354.

City say that, despite relegation to League One, they are pleased with season-ticket sales, although at this stage they are not revealing how many have been sold.

The club say the ticket office is preparing for a busy two weeks ahead of the May 31 deadline before the prices go up.

And they urged fans to take advantage of the price freeze as City look to "rebuild" in a bid to win promotion back to the Championship at the first attempt.

Chief executive Paul Aldridge said: "I'd like to thank those fans who have already pledged their support for next season.

"The response from our fans so far has been terrific and the renewal figures are encouraging.

"However, we are still urging more of our fans to take advantage of the Early Bird period.

"It is no secret that maximising season-ticket income as early as possible is an important factor for the club in our re-building process.

"The Early Bird discounts, compared to our prices after the cut-off date, are designed to accelerate sales as early as possible.

"This will then allow Milan the opportunity to review what level of commitment he wishes to make to give the club the best possible chance of securing an immediate return to the Championship, which is our obvious goal next season.

"Relegation hit everyone hard, but the response from the fans has really pleased the chairman, who is determined to help the club bounce back to the Championship at the first attempt."

Supporters can renew their tickets at the club, by phoning 0844 815

never noticed that when i scanned through the article, talk about holding a virtual gun to the fans heads

 

[Durham Fox]

I personally can't see them selling 1 ticket at the increased rates, why would anyone wait until after May 31st and pay more?

I thought you had made that up So unless X amount buy a Season ticket he isn't going to cough up any money for transfers etc

They might not get paid until June 1st ?

 

[teblin]

I hadn't read that either, thats a terrible statement.

How about the fans need to know what the hell is going on before they commit £300 + to the club.

Pinko?

 

[Durham Fox]

Then if they had any brain cells theyd do the DD scheme pre May 31st.

Because they would like to know the plan that Milan has IE if holloway will be the manager and if not who will be.

I will buy mine before but thats what a gage from other people on forums.

They might prefer to pay for it at once or more likely they are waiting to see if that Radish is still managing the Club.

You couldn't invent this stuff. Comedy gold.

 

[bocadillo]

MM isn't going to invest until he sees how many people buy season tickets before 31st May -- people aren't going to buy season tickets before they see who MM is going to have has his manager and he isn't make up his mind until June.

Bit of an impasse there then!!


MM has got a lot to lose from this kind of brinkmanship - what have fans got lose when the whole ****ing show doesn't feel like their club any longer?


10%?? - **** him! And remember that 10% forms the base-price for the following season!!

The club policy has made my mind up for me. I'm not going to be held to ransom.

Sod it. LCFC died when they pulled down filbertstreet.

No he isn't.

That £700+ the club has lost from me. I will not renew until I know who the manager is, and I won't renew at 10% surcharge.

Fcuk em
