West Bromwich Albion announce price freeze on season ticket prices

Albion today announced a freeze on season ticket prices for the second summer in a row.

The Baggies' prices will remain the same for a third successive season regardless of whether the club are in the Premier League or Championship in 2014-15.

Albion hope to match this season's total of just over 19,200 season ticket sales.

Chief executive Mark Jenkins said: "We were hugely encouraged by this season's take-up and cannot speak highly enough of the support the fans continue to give the team.

"We appreciate the economy remains challenging for many people – particularly families and youngsters – and we hope that by freezing season ticket prices again, watching football at The Hawthorns will remain affordable."

If bought online, adult season tickets will again start at £349, under-17s at £99, under-21s and students at £199 and seniors at £269. Those prices will apply in the Birmingham Road and Smethwick Ends.

Season tickets will go on sale to existing ticket holders on Monday, April 14, at 9am, and will be available until Monday, June 2, at 5pm.

Season ticket seats that have not been renewed before June 2 will be made available to holders wishing to relocate from June 3-6.

They will become available to new applicants from June 9.

Supporters who purchase a season ticket online will also pay £10 less than those who apply in person, over the phone or by post.

A 10-month direct debit option is available to fans buying online, although a booking fee will be charged.

From July 1 all prices will be subject to review and concessionary prices in the West Stand are only available to fans with existing concessionary seats.

Existing stilecards will remain valid when fans buy a 2014-15 ticket and will be automatically updated.
