Pricing structure and information for next season
Carlisle United Football Club have today announced a freeze on their season ticket prices for a third consecutive season, with season ticket holders also set to be rewarded with significant savings and a range of exclusive benefits, including 25% off ALL travel on the Virgin Trains network throughout the coming campaign.*
Following a successful trial run last season the exclusive ‘Renewal’ period will run again for our existing season ticket holders, between Monday 7 April and Tuesday 6 May, offering an excellent four-match saving on entry when compared to match day prices.
And in what is a fantastic move all those who purchase within the ‘Renewal’ period will automatically be entered into a draw, from which six lucky people will be selected to receive a full refund on the total cost of their season ticket!
Payment by direct debit, spread over 10 months, provides an extremely effective method of completing your season ticket purchase with over 500 people choosing to pay in this way as they pledged their support to the Blues for less than £10 per week last season.
Our family packages have again been simplified and restructured, in-line with customer feedback and recommendations, as we look to continue to cater for the next generation of young supporters.
The Young Person's category for people aged 18 to 22, with admission from as little as £10 per game – or less than £9 with a season ticket – remains, in addition to the existing and extremely popular cut-price admission for Juniors and accompanied Under-11s, plus free entry for accompanied Under-7s.
Our ‘Early Buy’ period, running from Wednesday 7 May to Friday 13 June, offers a three-game saving with the standard season ticket, on sale from Monday 16 June, increased from a one-game to a two-game saving for the first time for the 2014/15 campaign.
Ticket office manager Tarn Simmons said: “We receive a lot of good feedback from our season ticket holders and we think the price freeze will be well received, having reviewed the comments made.
“The four-game saving on ‘Renewal’ purchases was extremely well received last year and we are delighted to be able to offer that again to our existing season ticket holders. In conjunction with the very simple to use direct debit system of payment, and the two and three game savings on offer to new purchases, we feel that our season ticket pricing structure offers an attractive way for our fans to support their team next season.”
Managing director John Nixon said: “We’ve listened to feedback throughout this past twelve months and we’ve continued to work to add value to our season ticket packages. The price freeze should help with that, and we hope our season ticket holders will be able to take advantage of the 25% travel discount with Virgin Trains and the half price cup match ticket offer we’ve also put in place.
“Our pricing structure compares favourably with other clubs in our division and our aim remains the same - to continue to improve all aspects of the football club on and off the field. It goes without saying that our fans are an integral part of that and we thank all of them, including our season ticket holders, for sticking by us through what has been a tough couple of years. We are working hard to make sure we all have plenty to smile about going forward and we hope this season’s pricing structure and benefits package will be a first step towards achieving that aim.”
