New kids' deals as Caley Jags trim season ticket prices

ICT Press Release

Caley Thistle have taken £100 off the price of an adult season ticket and created enhanced deals for younger fans as they prepare for what they hope is a promotion-winning First Division campaign.

Chairman George Fraser revealed: "Each supporter's investment in their season ticket will be rewarded with a 10 per cent discount for the following season if we're back in the SPL."

As the Inverness club adjusts to a tighter budget, a strong season ticket base is critical to their hopes of strengthening the team for a promotion challenge. Recognising the impact of the credit crunch, Caley Jags are offering season ticket payment terms extended from four months to nine months, with no deposit.

Main stand adult season tickets are reduced from £340 this season to £240, with senior citizens down from £215 to £150 and children's from £140 to £100.

"Our top season ticket prices are actually less than what Dunfermline and Dundee charge", said Mr Fraser. "Our priority is generating as large attendances as possible to cheer on Terry Butcher's team as we bid to bounce back at the first attempt.

"The directors are also very keen on extending our strategy of enhancing access to the future fans. Thus, children under eight will again be admitted free of charge -- and now each adult can take two children of that age group in free, as opposed to one last season.

"A new category is being created for 8 to 12 year olds in the Family Section where they can have a season ticket for only £25 -- the equivalent of £1.39 per game -- which is a 50 per cent discount of the child season ticket price. That ' s great value for watching what we hope will be a winning team in an exciting comeback campaign."

In another innovation, fans can renew their season ticket from Tuesday 2nd June online by visiting www.ictfc.co.uk rather than requiring to go to the stadium. Tickets are however available to buy at the stadium ticket office as of now.

Mr Fraser said: "We've got over our disappointment and are now looking forward, not back, and the season ticket package reflects both our awareness of the national financial environment and our determination to ensure maximum supporter input as Terry Butcher and Maurice Malpas push to get us back where we belong.

"It has become very obvious this week that there is great empathy in the city and surrounding communities who realise luck was not with us. Messages of encouragement have poured in and we hope this will be translated into strong season ticket sales, given the affordability level.

"We are keen to encourage more youngsters and we ' re pleased that next season we can offer season tickets where under 8s go free, those aged 8 to 12 pay just over £1 per game while those aged 13 to 18 would be paying the equivalent of £2.77 per game. We ' re a community club and young boys and girls now have a great opportunity to be guaranteed a seat at all our home games."
