St Albans City have decided to keep admission prices at their basic level for next season as a thanks to supporters.
It means adult admission will stay at £10 with entry remaining at £5 for senior citizens and £2 for juniors. The club will next season be enforcing the £2 transfer cost to seating for adults - £1 for seniors and juniors - with the agreement and help of the Saints City Supporters Trust.
Terrace season tickets will remain at a bargain £170 - again meaning four games free for holders - as long as they are bought before the end of May as part of the 'early bird' deal. The early bird seating season tickets will cost £190.
For seniors, the early bird terrace season ticket remains at £85, with £90 for seating. For juniors, it will be £30 and £35. From June, terrace season tickets for adults will cost £180 and £195 seated; for seniors £90 and £95 and juniors £35 and £40.
Family tickets - for two adults and two juniors - will remain at the knock-down price of £15.
Interesting comments from the chairman as well:
Chairman Ian Ridley said: "As a board, we have discussed admission prices long and hard and in strict business terms, the basic price of entry should have risen.
"After all, our aim next season is promotion from the Evo-Stik Southern Premier and to recruit the players necessary and finance that aim, we are likely to need an increase in the playing budget.
"However, our co-owner Lawrence Levy has been impressed with our improved gates, up by more than 25 per cent, and he is right to point out that we don't want to do anything that will interrupt that upward trend or damage the feel-good factor around the club currently.
"I agree with him that loyal supporters also deserve to be rewarded for sticking with the club during difficult times in recent past seasons.
So the only change is that they are intending to enforce the fee for transferring to seating next season.
