There doesn't seem to be an early bird price on kids' season tickets. |  |

A Message From The Board
Board Addresses Today's Season Ticket Announcement
We spent much time talking to fan groups and thinking internally about the 2019/20 season ticket policies and pricing. The matrix of prices we have announced today is reflective of that work, done over a number of weeks.
We hope that fans understand that ticket pricing is a careful balancing act and what we give to one group we must take from another. It is therefore difficult to satisfy everyone. We are happy that the prices as they now stand are fair and reasonable and compare favourably with other clubs in League One.
Next season we plan to create a Family Stand which complies with all necessary safeguarding provisions and at the same time provides facilities and food and beverage offerings appropriate for younger children. As a result, we do believe that those younger children would be more comfortable and derive more enjoyment from each match if they were sat in that Family Stand.
Our pricing is designed to actively encourage families with younger children to be in the Family Stand, though they are of course welcome to sit in any other part of the Stadium should they so wish.
To assist fans who might have difficulty in meeting the up-front cost of purchasing season tickets, we will soon be launching a payment plan which will allow the spreading of the cost over a nine-month period.

The sooner new owners, (anyone please!) come in the better. All I want to see is an end to the culture of cronyism, mateyness, better fan ness rubbish that’s endemic in the club now. We need new fans, new ideas and progress, not the same old Uber fans deciding what’s what.
What other clubs have or are in our position with a CAR and an interim board anyway? What the hell? |  |

The statement was a bit of waffle that really means they won't be reconsidering the kids' price.
Poor decision in my opinion. | |

I'll be interesting to hear what BST have got to say about this.
They've surely got to make their position clear. | |

Yes, prices were very high at one time.
I understand the arguments for the £75 / £149. It works out to so much per game, it's comparable with such and such a club, we had fans' forum input.
Then there's the restriction to the family corner issue.
All in all, after the Oyston era there's an opportunity to do something differently, something right and to say clearly - 'this is the direction the club is going in'.
Community and families. | |

This shows the interim board are listening.
I would have though £75 whole ground (excluding premium blocks) and £50 family section but I'll wait for parents' reaction to the policy revision. | |

We have noted the comments made regarding the Club's season tickets for 2019/20. Season ticket pricing is a critical part of the balancing of a Club's books, it is a complicated process, and will never satisfy everybody.
However, it was never our intention to force family groups to split up, and we do recognise that it should be left to parents to determine in which part of the Stadium they wish to sit with their children.
Accordingly, we are making the following adjustment:-
Retrospective to Wednesday, season tickets for fans aged 11 and under will be priced as follows:
Whole Stadium (excluding Blocks L, M and N):
Under 5s are free;
5-11s are priced at £75 per season ticket
Blocks L and N (maintaining the £50 price premium across all seating categories, as this is a premium seating area):
Under 5s are priced at £50 per season ticket;
5-11s are priced at £125 per season ticket
Block M is currently not being offered for sale.
We would though ask all families to give consideration to the possibility of moving to the Family Stand. It will be the only area designed with children and families in mind, and without critical mass it will not operate with the energy and vitality we, or the Fans' Forum on 27 March, were intending.

Blackpool FC’s interim board has issued a U-turn over the cost of junior season tickets.
It comes after fans expressed concern about the children’s price of £75 being restricted to the new Family Stand in the South West corner of Bloomfield Road.
Under the original pricing policy, those youngsters who wished to be seated elsewhere in the ground would have been charged a much higher price — £149 in most areas and £199 in sections of the West Stand newly denoted as ‘premium’ seating.
Fans believed that was far too high, especially as the club are looking to regain a generation of young supporters who have missed out during the recent boycott.
One dad, Stephen Whitehead, told The Gazette on seeing the initial new price structure: “I think it will drive away young fans because parents won’t be able to afford to take them.
“A charge of £75 for five- to 11-year-olds is steep enough but to even get that we would have to sit in the family stand, as I have had the same seat every season since the current west stand, I don’t see why we should move.
“I have been watching the club since I was a boy and I have taken my lad Jenson practically since birth.
“The cost for him has been minimal up to now but the prices for next season are shocking.
“My seat is in the premium area and the price increase there is bad enough - having to pay so much for Jenson would have made the situation even worse.”
The interim board initially indicated they would not budge on its new pricing policy, but following further feedback from supporters, they have now made it £75 for children aged between five and 11 whether they sit in the Family Stand or not.
“We have noted the comments made regarding the club’s season tickets for 2019-20,” the board said in a statement.
“Season ticket pricing is a critical part of the balancing of a club’s books, it is a complicated process, and will never satisfy everybody.
“However, it was never our intention to force family groups to split up and we do recognise that it should be left to parents to determine in which part of the stadium they wish to sit with their children.
“We would though ask all families to give consideration to the possibility of moving to the Family Stand.
“It will be the only area designed with children and families in mind, and without critical mass it will not operate with the energy and vitality we, or the Fans’ Forum on March 27, were intending.”
Season tickets for children aged under five will remain free, while those aged between five and 11 will now be set at £75.
This applies to the entire stadium excluding blocks L, M and N in the West Stand, where season tickets for under fives are priced at £50 and £125 for those aged between five and 11.
The price for a standard adult season ticket has been set at £299, although this is reduced to the early bird price of £269 as long as the ticket is purchased before the Friday, May 31 deadline.
