Families are the key beneficiaries of Bristol City's latest round of season ticket prices for the 2010/11 campaign, with supporters once again rewarded with excellent savings against matchday prices.
The club has been delighted with the response to its early bird offer which has now closed with more than 6,000 sales, and would like to thank all those fans who have shown their support by purchasing in this period.
Season tickets go back on sale from 9am Wednesday with a new set of prices which see rates in the Atyeo, Dolman and Williams stands frozen or reduced against the comparative stage last season.
Meanwhile the Wedlock Stand continues to benefit from one of the cheapest tickets in the Championship, with adults paying just £285.
The club - which was this year awarded the Family Excellence Award by the Football League - has either held or made a minimal rise in the family ticket category from the early bird offer. A limited number of family tickets will be available, priced from just £570 - allowing families to watch every league game next season from just £6.20 each! Families are defined as close relatives.
In addition, under-16s season tickets start from only £100 and free admission is once again available to under-7s when purchased with a full paying adult.
Bristol City chairman Steve Lansdown told bcfc.co.uk: "Our aim is to encourage families to come to Ashton Gate together, build our support for the future while at the same time making watching Bristol City affordable to our most loyal supporters. I believe the season ticket offers achieve that aim."
A finance option - provided by Zebra Finance - will again be available, allowing supporters to spread the cost of their season ticket across five monthly instalments, interest-free, subject to a £15 admin charge.
The initial offer is open to all 2009/10 season card holders and club members only from Tuesday, March 9th until May 31st. Non-members wishing to buy a season card should first pay for a 2009/10 membership (£20 adults, £5 under-16s, £40 family - two adult, two under-16s).
Renewals are simple, with season card holders able to use their current smart card for next season.
Season cards can be bought or renewed online 24 hours a day via bcfc.co.uk; by phoning 0871 222 66 66 (option1) or in person at Ashton Gate Stadium.
Existing season card holders have until May 31st to secure their seat for the 2010/11 campaign before they are released for general sale.
