Town are giving away 1,650 free tickets to fans aged under 16 for Easter Monday’s crucial home game against fellow play-off challengers AFC Bournemouth, when the club are holding a Family Fun Day.

Sponsors the East of England Co-op are making 1,500 of the free tickets for family areas of Portman Road, available only from Planet Blue, limited to five per customer number. They have also made 150 tickets available to young Bournemouth fans.

This gives a great opportunity for families to spend fun time together at a premier event.”

Prices in the family areas of Portman Road are discounted for the game: £20 for adults, £15 for concessions — including seniors, students and under-20s - and £3 for juniors.

Town’s Family Fun Day will be held on the FieldTurf and will be available to all fans between 11am and 1pm with access to the event via Gate 1A. From 1pm onwards, only fans who have tickets for the East of England Co-op Stand will have access to the Fieldturf.
