Albion Freeze Season Ticket Prices

ALBION, having cut season ticket prices by a third over the past two years, have today announced a price freeze for 2009/10.

The early-bird prices will apply whether the Club are in the Barclays Premier League or Coca-Cola Championship next season and will be available until Thursday, April 30, 2009.

Adult prices start from £299 and, following the huge success of the £49 junior season ticket, the cap for this offer has been increased by 1,000 to 2,500.

These £49 tickets can only be purchased with an adult season ticket but stand-alone junior season tickets remain at £99.

The £49 offer, previously available in the Birmingham Road End and Smethwick End, has been extended to the East Stand.

Season ticket holders can now renew for 2009/10 in person at the East Stand box office, by phone (0871 271 9780) or via Albion Online Ticketing at official website www.wba.co.uk

The renewal deadline is Thursday, April 30, 2009.

New applicants can also now apply in person or by phone.

Due to the fact this year’s sales virtually reached the Club’s season ticket limit, new applicants will be asked to place a £50 deposit, making them eligible for the early-bird prices, and their names will be added to a first come, first served waiting list.

New applications will be processed from Monday, May 11, 2009.

Albion Finance Director, Mark Jenkins, said: “We have been at the forefront of reducing season ticket prices for several years as we have been mindful of the economic climate in our locality.

“This is further reflected in our decision to freeze early-bird prices for 2009/10 – whichever division we are in.

“This season’s prices in particular were well received by our supporters, which prompted Club record season ticket sales of over 21,700.

“We have also shown we are committed to our next generation of supporters by extending our special offers for juniors and families.”

Fans who purchase season tickets using the Albion Mastercard will benefit from a period of interest free credit.
The advantages of being a season ticket holder include:

Priority on advanced ticket sales in the event of Albion playing at Wembley again

The ability to purchase tickets via the Club's increasingly-popular internet service, Albion Online Ticketing

Five per cent discount on all Club Shop purchases (excluding sale items)
The option to subscribe to Albion World, which features Albion TV and Albion Radio, for half-price
