Stevenage Date and Ticket Prices Set - Ipswich Town News
Town have confirmed that the EFL Cup first round tie against League Two Stevenage at Portman Road will take place on Tuesday 9th August (KO 7.45pm).
Tickets will be £12 for adults, £8 for under-20s, over-60s and NUS card holders, and £3 for under-16s.
The sides met at the same stage of the competition last year, also at Portman Road, when the Blues ran out 2-1 winners with Josh Yorwerth and Jay Tabb netting for Town, and Boro replying via a Christophe Berra own goal.
Prior to that the teams also faced one another in the first round at Broadhall Way in August 2013 when the home side won 2-0 with Filipe Morais (pen) and Jordan Burrow on target.
Those two ties are the only occasions on which the teams have played one another competitively.
Meanwhile, the prices for the pre-season friendly against Belgian side Royale Union Saint-Gilloise on Saturday 30th July have been set at £10 for adults, £8 for concessions and £1 for under-16s.
