Season Ticket Prices Frozen - Ipswich Town News

Town have announced that they have frozen season ticket prices for a third successive season, although only for online sales, while they are introducing a three-year season ticket for the first time.

The freeze means that, for example, an adult lower tier Sir Bobby Robson Stand seat purchased online before the early bird deadline of midday on April 12th will cost £390.

There is an increase in pricing for those purchasing season tickets by methods other than online with the same Sir Bobby Robson lower tier seat costing £410.

The new three-year ticket in the same area costs £1,112, which works out at around £370 per season, a discount of about 5%.

The 12-month direct debit scheme introduced last season continues with those that utilised the facility during 2012/13 automatically renewed for 2013/14. Supporters aged under 11 years of age can again buy a season ticket for £10.

In the season ticket brochure, owner Marcus Evans writes that supporters will have a big part to play next season and paid tribute to manager Mick McCarthy's work since he came to the club in November: "Mick McCarthy’s performance since taking over as manager has been fantastic.

"Having taken over a team adrift at the bottom of the league, he has moulded a tough-to-beat and highly competitive team and if his results are multiplied over the course of the season, we are pretty close to play-off form.

"If next year is to be our year, we need everyone behind the team and for our fans to help make Portman Road a fortress.

"I am as committed as ever to getting the club promoted and Mick will be fully supported in his plans to develop the squad over the summer. We have the manager who can take us up and we need your support to get us there.

"In recognition of your support, the club will continue with its offer for season ticket holders in 2013/14 to be provided with half-price season tickets the following year, if we gain promotion to the Premiership.”

Existing season ticket holders will receive the usual season ticket packs by post in the next few days, while full details are on the club site here.
