MyPNE - The Official PNE Membership Scheme
Preston North End have announced details of a new membership scheme for the 2007/08 season. The official mypne membership scheme, which will be based around customers' unique member numbers, will open up a wealth of benefits including eligibility for reduced matchday tickets, merchandise offers and one-off discounts.

Season ticket holders will automatically receive their membership card as one of the benefits of their package. For non-season ticket holders, joining the official membership scheme costs just a nominal £1 administration fee and for that you could save up to £5* on every single matchday ticket!

All supporters who quote their member number in the ticket office or shop or used them on mypne.com can continue to do so. However, unless they register for an official membership card, and are therefore registered as a cardholder, they will not be eligible for membership card ticket prices and membership card discounts on products and other promotions (matchday prices listed below).

All juniors and YNE and Mini Whites members will also receive an official membership card completely free of charge, which will also act as their proof of age and eligibility for concessionary tickets.

This new scheme has allowed the Club to freeze the 2006/07 price for adult tickets on the Kop and Town End at just £20 and the family stand child ticket at just £5, when accompanied by an adult, making sure we are still one of the cheapest in the Division to see your club in action.

New family price tickets have also been announced which allow families of four to bring one child completely free of charge and for smaller families, there is also a reduction in price - see our new pricing structure below. Family tickets will be available from the opening game of the season; although only those who sign up for a membership card will be able to take advantage of these special offer prices from the Sheffield Wednesday game onwards.

Throughout the season card holders can expect to make big savings on matchday tickets, shop merchandise and travel. There will be up to four products in the Club shop at any one time discounted for membership card holders only.

Card holders will also get the opportunity to attend official fans forums**, in association with CAST (Club And Supporters Together), at Deepdale. These will be the only official sanctioned events that the players and management will attend.

How do I join?
To allow fans time to purchase their membership cards and allow them to therefore take advantage of cardholder match ticket price discounts, the first game the cards will officially come into use will be the Sheffield Wednesday home fixture on Saturday 15th September. Both the Norwich City and Colchester United home fixtures will remain at the card holder rate for all fans.

Supporters will be able to purchase their official membership cards and join the scheme from late July, with full dates announced in the near future. This also gives supporters enough time to ensure they are on the Club's database and that the details we have stored for them are up to date and accurate, if you have a member number already and are planning to become a card holder, you can ensure your details are correct by logging on to MyPNE.Com and updating what we have on file.

Once the scheme is officially launched, all fans will need to do is enquire at the ticket office or in the Club shop and they will be able to purchase their unique membership card and take it away there and then. Cards will be issued to season ticket holders as soon as they become available.

Tickets for the opening two games of the season, Norwich City (Saturday 11th August, 3pm) and Colchester United (Saturday 25th August, 3pm) will go on sale, at members prices to all from Monday 2nd July at 9am, via the ticket office at Deepdale, over the phones on 0870 442 1966 and online via www.mypne.com.

*£5 based on card holder and non-card holder prices on the Town End or Kop
** Subject to availability.
*** Membership cards may not be available at busy times, i.e. two hours before kick-off on a matchday.
