    - 2024/25 season tickets on sale 12.00pm Monday
    - Adult less than £11 per game - Junior prices slashed to 82p per game
    - Interest-free direct debit available over 12 months
    - Early bird prices until 11.59pm, Friday April 26

    Season tickets for the 2024/25 campaign will go on sale at 12.00pm on Monday (March 11), from the Valley Parade Ticket Office and via our all-new online ticketing platform.


    If purchased by 11.59pm on Friday April 26, an Adult (aged 24-64) will pay less than £11 per home match, working out at just £249 over the course of a 23-game home league season at the University of Bradford Stadium.

    A Senior (65+) and a Young Person (17-23) will both be charged less than £10 per game at £219, with a Youth (12-16) paying less than £7 per game (£159). The early bird rate for a Junior (11 and under) season ticket has been slashed to £19, if purchased before 12.00am on Saturday April 27, meaning they will be charged just 82p per game.

    From 12.00am on Saturday April 27, the day of City’s final game of the regular 2023/24 Sky Bet League Two season at home to Newport County, the early bird window will end, and prices will increase to £349 (Adult), £306 (Senior and Young Person), £222 (Youth) and £35 (Junior).

    Supporters will now once again be able to pay for their season ticket evenly over the course of 12 months with our interest-free direct-debit payment plan, meaning despite price increases, supporters will pay less than a pound a month extra than 2023/24, which saw payment spread over the course of 10 months. This represents a continued effort to make monthly payments even more accessible and affordable.

    The difficult decision to increase prices has been made as a result of rising fixed overheads - including utilities, rents, insurance and national minimum wage (see below table) - which, over the past three years, have risen, and will continue to rise by more than 30%. Despite challenging year-on-year financial commitments, the club remains dedicated to ensuring the majority of our increased costs are not passed onto supporters, as we continue to strive towards making attending games at the University of Bradford Stadium as accessible as possible for everyone.

    [​IMG]

    By keeping unavoidable price increases to a minimum, we are able to continue efficiently managing club finances and maintain a self-sustaining yet ambitious playing budget, while also providing affordable, value-for-money football for both new and existing fans, with Junior prices slashed in efforts to support families and ensure the younger generation of supporters can enjoy affordable football at Valley Parade.

    As part of this commitment, the increased pricing structure ensures that, based on 2023/24 figures, City supporters will still secure the second-cheapest season ticket price in the EFL.

    An Adult who purchases an early bird season ticket will save £326 (57%) on individual matchday admission prices (Adult £25), which will be again frozen for 2024/25, an equivalent of 13 home games for free - more than half of our league fixtures at the University of Bradford Stadium.

    Prices for suite upgrades will remain frozen, with full details to be communicated on Monday when season tickets are placed on sale.

    2024/25 ‘EARLY BIRD’ SEASON TICKET PRICES - UNTIL 11.59PM ON FRIDAY APRIL 26:

    Adult (24-64): £249 (DD: £20.75pcm)

    Senior (65+): £219 (DD: £18.25pcm)

    Young Person (17-23): £219 (DD: £18.25pcm)

    Youth (12-16): £159 (DD: £13.25pcm)

    Junior (11-): £19 (DD: £1.59pcm)

    *Our interest-free direct-debit payment plan includes an additional one-off service charge of £5 (which the club is charged by new ticketing provider, Ticketmaster) to be added to the first month’s payment. Supporters will be unable to purchase a season ticket via direct debit from 12.00am on Saturday April 27.

    2024/25 SEASON TICKET PRICES - FROM 12.00AM ON SATURDAY APRIL 27:

    Adult (24-64): £349

    Senior (65+): £306

    Young Person (17-23): £306

    Youth (12-16): £222

    Junior (11-): £35

    I think this is the start of aligning our season ticket prices back to what is 'normal' for our division. If the current ownership model stays the same, I think we'll start to see an increase year on year now.

    They say it still remains the 2nd cheapest in the EFL, who is cheaper than us?

    No campaign? Just a table of numbers with the largest being estimates. Feels odd and half arsed. You'd at least expect some kind of announcement video to type add some hype? Or something to play on the screen before the game and a HT.

    Morecambe, and it's only cheaper for a standing ticket in one stand, the rest of theirs are more expensive than ours.

    Roughly 25% increase. That's quite a gamble.

    Very Odd I get a marketing campaign might annoy people more given the shite this year and tbf they’re running out of hooks.

    I expected an increase, but naively thought they’d get Rupp involved offering a statement.

    Inept like everything associated, like everyone has just given up!!

    Whilst I’ve always thought an increase was necessary, not sure on the timing. ‘Pay more, for a worse product’ doesn’t have much of a ring to it. We should have gone to this pricing in 2017 imo.

    No surprise there isn't a video. It's difficult to spin another season in the basement division
    positively, especially when you are increasing the price to watch such garbage.

    BCAFC Media is getting worse.

    The Basic Maths on that spreadsheet....

    21/22 to 23/24 is an increase of 29% not 32% If you mean 21/22 to 24/25 (estimate) then at least proof read it before putting it out there live and show 21/22 tp 24/25.

    Another thing to add is the use of sustainability again, a phrase a number of fans have already criticised. Why not mention that the cost of the increase is to not only due to increased costs but also to build a bigger budget to go all out next season, just the usual plodding along language.

    I wonder if they're worried about the number of people not renewing due to fans anger and dissatisfaction of the Circus.

    Disappointing to see such a large increase, massive gamble by Sparks given we’ve had such a poor season

    I will be renewing, no hesitation. But I fully expect crowds to be no more than 10k next season, similar to the Doncaster game on Tuesday

    We've been spoilt with low prices for years so an increase should come.
    That's not to say we should be happy with the current ownership as you have to speculate to accumulate and I feel we should see some major investment in the playing squad to back GA next season.

    I think a significant number of existing season ticket holders had already decided not to renew regardless of price.
    Unfortunately this price hike will probably make the decision a lot easier for those who were undecided. I fear Tuesdays 'true' attendance will be close to the norm next season

    Love the bit about the suites with full details to be released on Monday when tickets go on sale. Surely they know the details now so why not just release it now or are they still working out how to allign the suite cost and 25 yr ticket price
