TODAY’S FOOTBALL, YESTERDAY’S PRICES, TOMORROW’S FANS
By Middlesbrough FC
Season cards for the Riverside will be just £95 for those aged under-18 next season, the club’s cheapest prices since moving to the stadium in 1995.
Boro are investing in the future by rolling back the years in a move designed to make it as attractive as possible for young fans and families to buy a 2008-09 season card.
Today’s Football, Yesterday’s Prices, Tomorrow’s Fans is Boro’s message, as they announce that until June 28 under-18 season cards will be priced just £95 for all areas of the stadium.
The offer represents incredible reductions of up to 75% on 2007-08 prices, which ranged from £120 to £380.
Should Boro, as expected, retain their top-flight status, the prices will represent some of the cheapest in the Premier League next season.
The prices are part of what Chief Operating Officer Neil Bausor described as “the most exciting season card initiatives in our history”.
Boro have also reduced season cards for 18-21 year-olds to just £195 in the North West and South West corners – down from £300 this season – while adults and over-65s can renew at 2007-08 prices until the Earlybird deadline of May 11.
Other highlights of the 2008-09 packages are:
A new Family Area in the Riverside’s East Stand Lower for 2008-09, which will be the focus of pre-match and half-time entertainment activities.
For the first time, season card holders who wish to renew the same seat can do so online at Boro’s official website.
An exclusive three-year season card, offering fans a personalised aluminium plaque on their seat, an exclusive season card, free entry into a regular prize draw and a price freeze at 2007-08 prices.
A new Away Season Ticket, giving season card holders who are regular away travellers the chance to guarantee their tickets for every league and cup away match.
“Middlesbrough Football Club is nothing without its fans,” said Neil Bausor. “We want them to know and feel that they are very much part of the club.
“We hope they will agree that we are doing all we can to make Boro accessible to all. We can assure our supporters that we will continue to make further steps towards making the Boro experience as positive and enjoyable as possible.”
Full details of 2008-09 packages have been mailed to all existing season card holders, who will also receive a DVD featuring magical Boro moments plus interviews with Chairman Steve Gibson and manager Gareth Southgate.
Packages should arrive by the start of next week but any current season card holders who have not received details by Friday April 26 should contact the MFC ticket office.
Season card packages, including the DVD and application forms, are available to supporters who do not hold a 2007-08 season card from the Riverside ticket office or by calling 0844 499 1234.
