Fans Catching The Early Bird
Fans are already logging on to renew their Early Bird Season Tickets at the same rate as last season after last week's announcement of a price freeze for those who carry out the transaction online.
The Early Bird offer has returned for a ninth consecutive season, with all prices frozen for online renewals and and Junior (u17 & u12) prices frozen regardless of the renewal method.
During the last eight years Early Bird has been established as Wolves' most popular ticketing campaign giving existing Season Ticket Holders, who renew in February/March, the opportunity to guarantee their seat at the cheapest possible price.
Over 20,000 supporters will potentially benefit from theprice freeze. Already this season, the 14,680 supporters, who renewed before last season's promotion was achieved, have been watching Premier League football for Championship prices paying, on average, just £19.50 per match.
An extra 5,714 supporters who purchased a Season Ticket during the summer or at the Half Season promotion, will also have the opportunity to renew at Early Bird and at a vastly reduced price.
The same supporters, sitting behind the goals, and renewing by traditional methods such as post or telephone, would pay an additional 98p per game in the Premier League. However, this is expected to be a relatively small minority of supporters.
For example, adult Early Bird prices in the Jack Harris/Stan Cullis Stands remain at £370 for online renewals (£389 for non-online), it's £490 (£515 in the Billy Wright Upper) or £430 (£452) in the Steve Bull Upper.
Fifteen thousand Season Ticket Holders have already provided an email address and the remaining supporters will still have the opportunity to do so prior to going ahead with their Early Bird renewal. For those supporters who don't have direct access to an email, or are unfamiliar with computers, then there is the opportunity, if appropriate, to utilise the email of a family member or an Internet cafe.
Junior prices (u17 & u12) have been frozen for the third season in a row (following a reduction in 2007), meaning that some under 12s can secure an Early Bird Season Ticket for as little as £23.
For those fans who purchased a Season Ticket in the summer of 2009, as new applicants at Premier League prices, the chance to now renew via the Early Bird scheme could, for seats behind either goal, see a massive reduction in price of £152 and those sitting in the Billy Wright Stand would see a £140 drop in price by renewing online for the 2010 / 11 Season.
The option to renew online will provide fans with both cost savings and a hassle free experience. Wolves have been e-mailing the majority of Season Ticket Holders with links to their own password-protected renewal page, pre-populated with each fan's individual details and pricing information.
Supporters who haven't provided an email address will receive a series of reminder postcards via the post. The Early Bird prices will remain the same whichever division Wolves are in next season.
The deadline for Early Bird Renewals is: Friday 12th March 2010 at 5:00pm.
