Town Announce Arsenal Ticket Prices - Ipswich Town News

Town have announced the prices for the two-legged Carling Cup semi-final against Arsenal. An adult will pay £20 for their seat at Portman Road if they buy their ticket before the day of the game, while adult lower tier tickets at the Emirates Stadium will cost just £10.

In addition to the charge of £20 for adults for the first leg at Portman Road on Wednesday 12th January (KO 7.45pm), tickets for concessions will £10, while under-16s will pay £7.50. On the day of the match, prices will rise to £25 for adults, £15 for concessions and £10 for under-16s.

Season tickets holders will be able to purchase an additional ticket at the cheaper price, while non-season ticket holders who attended the West Brom in the last round will also be given priority booking.

Chief executive Simon Clegg says the aim is to fill the ground: "The prices we have set are the second cheapest for a game this season, only the Northampton Carling Cup tie was cheaper.

"We are anticipating a full house for what will be one of the biggest games in the recent history of Ipswich Town and against a team that is regarded as one of the best in Europe.

"It should be a fantastic night for our supporters and I wanted to reward our loyal fanbase of season ticket holders plus those fans who made it through the snow and ice to watch the team beat West Brom with the best chance of getting tickets to watch the semi-final at Portman Road.”

Town will announce the schedule for ticket sales soon with seats first made available to season ticket holders and fans who attended the West Brom game. Non-season ticket holders will be asked to produce proof of purchase at the West Brom game to qualify for priority tickets.

Arsenal have been given 4,500 tickets and are expected to take their full allocation. The club hope the match will see Portman Road’s first 30,000 crowd since December 2003.

Tickets for the visit to the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday 25th January - Town's first game at the Gunners' new home - have been set at £20 for adults and £10 for concessions in the upper tier and £10 for adults and £5 for concessions in the lower tier. The club will release the full details of their availability in the next few days.
