Ipswich Town
Season Ticket Prices Revealed
By Martin
February 28 2009
Town have revealed that season tickets for Town’s fans who renew before the 4th of April will be frozen and there is now an 8 month payment plan option. The 8 month plan will spread the cost of the season ticket from May to December, while the early bird deadline also has the added incentive of watching Premiership football for half the price of Championship games.
Included in the renewal pack is a letter from Town owner Marcus Evans, which read:
Dear Supporter,
When I invested in Ipswich Town Football Club in December 2007, I did so in the belief that I could help the Club and its supporters to get back to the Premier League. Fourteen months on and I'm still convinced that this will happen sooner rather than later. Why? There are a number of factors that, I believe, give us an edge.
The Club has no bank debt and this puts us in a strong financial position in comparison to lots of other clubs.
I am also strengthening my commitment to the Club by making further substantial funds available for investment in the playing squad, to build the winning team that we all want to see week in, week out at Portman Road but we need your support too.
We have a robust, long-term strategy in place that allows us to continue to invest in our best players - Jon Walters, Owen Garvan and Danny Haynes have all recently extended their contracts.
I am committed to working to get the very best out of our excellent Academy.
We have invested in strengthening the Club's international scouting network, resulting already in the recent arrival of Luciano Civelli from Argentina.
And on the field our current form is encouraging, with (at the time of writing) just one defeat in the last nine matches.
I hope that you will feel able to show your commitment to the Club through the buying of a Season Ticket for the 2009/10 season. I know that money is tight in many households at the moment which is why we've taken a number of steps to try and keep football at Portman Road as affordable as possible:
We have frozen Season Ticket prices (for most Season Ticket holders, prices have now been held for three seasons).
We have introduced an extended credit facility, with an 8 month interest-free payment plan that will help supporters to better manage their money while continuing to support the Club that they love.
We will continue to offer families access to live football at great prices through a highly attractive pricing policy that starts with an Under 11 Season Ticket at just £10.
Finally, we are extending our "Premiership Cash back" scheme for another season in a deal that will deliver a 50% rebate to Season Ticket holders if we win promotion this season or next. The £2.5 million we could be handing back to supporters would be a fantastic way for the Club to reward your loyalty and thank you for your great support.
Since becoming involved with Ipswich Town I have been working to create a financially stable Club that has the ability to get to the Premier League and to stay there. Some of us were at Stamford Bridge in January for our FA Cup Fourth Round match against Chelsea.
I certainly got a feel for the standard of football I want to see us regularly involved in. I also know that once we are promoted to the Premiership, it will be all the more enjoyable having witnessed the journey that took us there.
I am continuing to invest in our quest for promotion, I am asking you if you will do the same by buying your Season Ticket for 2009/10.
Best wishes,
Marcus Evan
