Sheffield United today unveiled plans to offer children under 12 a FREE season ticket to Bramall Lane next season.
In a bid to offer affordable football and reach out to a new generation of United fans, the Club announced details of its new season ticket prices designed to encourage even more young supporters to Bramall Lane.
*To qualify for a free season ticket an under 12 needs to sign up as a Junior Blade for £10, and be accompanied by an adult season ticket holder.
The club has reduced prices in a number of areas around the ground.
Adult renewals on the Kop (Frasers Property Stand) have been reduced to £299, while seat prices in the Valad Stand drop to £409.
Seats in the Capital One Stand (Family Enclosure) and Evolution Corner (Family Enclosure) are frozen at £409.
In a message to supporters, Sheffield United Plc chairman Kevin McCabe, said:
"We are determined that season tickets are as affordable as possible for our supporters, and our new season ticket pricing policy reflects these concerns. Our commitment to our younger supporters and families continues.
"We place great importance on you, as supporters, as the life blood of the club.
"I have seen your frustration, passion and commitment through difficult times this season, and I am calling on all Blades fans yet again for their continued support.
"Our target remains the Premier League. I am determined to see the club grow stronger and our supporter base is crucial to that objective. I will do all I can if you will do the same."
More than 18,300 supporters can take advantage of the early renewal offer from Thursday 20th March, with fans saving up to £117 on individual match ticket prices.
Concession renewal prices start at £119 for 12 to under 16 year olds in all areas of the ground, with adult concessions paying £199 in the Frasers Property (Kop), rising to £219 in the Capital One Stand and Evolution Corner, and £239 in the Valad Stand.
Fans can also benefit from a host of additional extras including £300 savings on offers at the club superstore and leisure facilities, whilst also paying their season ticket in five monthly payments by direct debit.
The offers available to supporters include one month's free gym membership at fitness suites Impact, Gym Plus or at the new Copthorne Hotel, due to open late 2008, plus discounts on away Blade travel, club merchandise, BladesWorld, the Blades Birthday Lottery and Meadowhall restaurants.
