Season Tickets Back on Sale - Ipswich Town News
Town season tickets for the 2015/16 season have gone back on sale. After the extended early bird deadline passed in April, sales were suspended until the Blues were certain which division they would be playing next season.
Speaking shortly after the deadline, Blues MD Ian Milne said sales had been "buoyant” with revenue up "eight or nine per cent” on the same stage last year and sales at more than 12,500, an increase of around 1,000 on a year previously.
Season tickets can be purchased via ITFC Direct, where the Blues’ new home kit can also be pre-ordered.
Meanwhile, Town have revealed that the average home gate was up by almost 15 per cent during 2014/15 compared with the previous campaign.
A total of 450,855 watched Town’s 23 Championship games, while 393,542 were at the matches in the 2013/14 season, an average increase of 2,500 a fixture.
The biggest home gate of the season was the 29,166 who watched the play-off semi-final against Norwich, while the second-highest overall attendance was for the FA Cup replay against Southampton in January, 27,933.
The highest league gate was the 26,157 that saw the 3-0 victory over Charlton in December.
