Following requests from a number of supporters, the board is pleased to confirm the reintroduction of season tickets for 17-18 year olds, and has extended this offer to students on production of an appropriate ID card.
All the prices can be found on the amended announcement here
Please note that there was an error in the season ticket prices announcement.
Last year we had a season ticket category for 16-18 year olds. This category has now been abolished, but the proposals for that category were inadvertently transposed into the 12-16 category. The prices for 12-16 have now been corrected in the announcement, and will be correct when season tickets go on sale next month. Please accept our apology for the confusion
The amended announcement https://hydeunited.co.uk/news/gate-prices-and-season-ticket-prices-for-22-23-season/
The club board met this week to discuss the budget for the forthcoming season. The directors discussed every aspect of the anticipated income and expenditure, and were mindful of the increased costs we were likely to face, including but not limited to utility costs.
The board also wish to give the management team a competitive budget, to avoid the roller coaster season we have just experienced, and to be challenging at the other end of the table.
In order to achieve this we have to look both at cost savings and income, and we regret that we have to announce an increase in admission prices and season ticket prices for the first time in four years. The increase will bring us into line with the prices charged by many of the clubs in our league in the season 2021-22.
The new admission prices on the gate will be:
| Adults | £12 |
| Over 65, 17-18 year olds and students* | £8 |
| 12-16 year olds | £6 |
| Under 12 (must be accompanied by an adult) | £1 |
New season ticket prices will be:
| Standing | Seating | |
| Adults | £199 | £220 |
| Over 65 | £135 | £155 |
| 17-18 year olds and students* | £125 | £145 |
| 12-16 year olds | £75 | £90 |
*students will be required to show their student ID cards when gaining entry or collecting season tickets.
Season ticket prices are substantially discounted and represent great value, also entitling the holder to free entry to all our home pre-season friendlies.
We expect to have season tickets on sale from 1st June.
