Hi,

Just to clarify the Half Season Ticket, we currently have the Christmas Multi Ticket which takes us up to January, at this point the Half Season Ticket will cut in. So in this case Chesterfield is the first fixture.

The re arranged Shrewsbury fixture will be included in the ticket giving you 13 matches in total. Whilst I won't defend the price because we believe it is the cheapest in the football league, we cannot make tickets cheaper on average per game than a full season ticket because that then dilutes the benefits of a full Season Ticket in the first instance. We believe that it is close enough to the price on average and that we are trying to encourage multi tickets as a money saving option as much as possible, where and when applicable.

We are also releasing the monthly ticket for January to help our supporters get better priced tickets in affordable chunks as well as annoucing plans for a new central Box Office in town.

The Half Season Ticket structure here at the club is also far more advanced than some of our league two, league one and even championship rivals. For example you can get from information on a website to picking your own individual seat and checking out in around 5 clicks. Compare this to a local championship side for example, whereby once you have seen the information you have to ring a premium number or email an individual and await a response. We believe that we are making the purchase of individual tickets a far more pleasant experience and are now taking numerous Half Season Ticket orders at present with good satisfaction from our supporters.

Better priced tickets for our fans is our main focus this year. (wording and text will be amended shortly on the website to show the start date)
