Today’s launch of next season’s prices was welcomed by Pompey Supporters’ Trust. Their Chair, Ashley Brown, said
"The PST is pleased to support the early bird ticket pricing for next season, the fantastic support from fans last year showed once again why we have the best fans in the land and we are pleased the club is able to reward their loyalty with frozen pricing. If I have one request for our membership it is to help children catch the Pompey bug by encouraging parents to take advantage of the generous pricing and purchase them a season ticket"
The announcement from the club read :-
Pompey have announced a price freeze on all early bird season tickets and fans have until July 12 to guarantee their seats for the 2014/15 League Two campaign.
And, in another crowd-pleasing gesture, children under the age of ten can now attend Fratton Park for free in the South Stand Lower provided they are accompanied by an adult ticket holder.
Sales for both new purchasers and renewals start on Thursday, May 8.
For the first time, fans will be also able to opt in to join the Pompey Supporters' Trust when they buy their season ticket.
Optimism is surging through the club after manager Andy Awford ended the season on a high, securing five wins and two draws from the final seven games, with Pompey scoring 18 goals in the process.
The final two home fixtures were played in front of sell-out crowds and chief executive Mark Catlin is confident fans will respond well to the offer.
He said: “As a community club, and due to the incredible work that has gone on behind the scenes at the club this last season, we are delighted to announce an early bird price freeze.
“We have also managed to include free tickets for kids under 10 and are confident that season ticket sales will once again be extremely popular.
“Adult early bird prices average out at approximately £13 per game, which we believe offers incredible value for money.
“We cannot underestimate the part supporters have played in our rebirth this last season, and once again we are confident fans will surpass all expectations when it comes to season ticket sales.”
Tickets go on sale from 10am on Thursday morning (May 8) in the Alliance Lounge (behind the Fratton End) for fans wishing to buy in person.
