Wolves have frozen 'early bird' season ticket prices for next season – and reduced costs for children.

Despite uncertainty over finances with owner Steve Morgan putting the club up for sale – and the loss of Premier League 'parachute payments' next year – no prices have increased.

Some adults tickets work out as £15 per game if Wolves are still in the Championship in 2016/17.

Amid the current ticket price debate, which is seeing some Wolves supporters boycott next month's trip to Middlesbrough over high prices, fans will welcome the move.

Club bosses said they were committed to keeping costs down.

Prices for under-12s have been reduced in most stands. And a new direct debit option also works out cheaper for fans, being spread over a 10-month period.

Ticket chief Lynne O'Reardon said: "The board is fully aware of the financial challenges many supporters face in these difficult times and it is committed to helping fans to support the team with the most cost effective pricing policies for matches at Molineux.

"We remain committed to building stronger relationships with our fan base both on and off the pitch."

Wolves have run the promotion for the past 15 years. Fans have a month to buy their tickets for next season, or face paying increased prices if they wait until after the current season has finished.

The cheapest tickets are behind the goals in the Stan Cullis stand and Sir Jack Hayward stand at £345 plus a £6 booking fee.

Tickets for fans in the Billy Wright Upper are £46 cheaper than compared with last summer's standard prices.

Under-12 prices have been reduced in the Sir Jack Hayward, Stan Cullis and Billy Wright Upper Stands to £3.48 per league game (£80 for the league season). Kids prices remain at £1 per game (£23 a season) in the Billy Wright Lower family stand.

New technology is also being introduced to allow fans to change access to their seat, via email, to allow their family or friends to sit in their seat, a pertinent issue given the amount of matches that have been selected for live television coverage this season.

Mrs O'Reardon added: "We believe we'll be the first club in football to make this type of technology available to fans and have taken this step, in part, due to the problems supporters incur as a consequence of fixture changes. This way fans can easily pass on their ticket to family, friends or colleagues to ensure the seat is used on match days.

"We've openly explained how important season ticket holders are to the club - from every possible angle – and our early bird is, once again, the cheapest possible way for fans to watch football at Molineux and to guarantee their chosen seat for all games."
