Affordable family football is what PNE chiefs want to achieve with their new pricing structure for season and matchday tickets as an exciting new chapter begins in 2008/09 with sales starting on Tuesday 6^th May.

Making ticket purchasing simple, easy and more affordable was the aim when bosses sat down to set out the prices for next season and with Alan Irvine shaping his team up for an assault on the Coca-Cola Championship next year supporters are being asked to become a integral part of his Deepdale revolution.

A completed Deepdale is one of the main attractions for 2008/09 with fans able to take their seats in the new Invincibles Pavilion from the opening game of next season. Fans can guarantee their seats for life from the start of selling on Tuesday 6^th May.

In a radical overhaul of the Club's pricing structure fans will benefit from:
- New family season tickets that see children going free
- Free season tickets for children under eight
- An extended family area that will incorporate the Alan Kelly Town End
- Children's (ages eight to 15-year-olds) season tickets only £69 now available throughout the stadium
- Young adult age band extended to incorporate 16 to 20-year-olds
- Senior citizen age band reduced to 60 years plus
- Guarantee your seat now the ground is complete
- Cash turnstiles in operation on the Bill Shankly Kop as part of the matchday revamp

Chairman Derek Shaw says: "We have thought long and hard about this year's pricing. The ground will be one of the finest in the country when it is completed by the start of next season and we want to make sure as many of those 24,000 seats are filled as possible.

"We are extremely thankful to all those supporters who annually renew their season tickets. We really do value your unwavering commitment which goes a long way to help to drive the Club forward. We hope to count on your support for many seasons to come.

"We want our fans to join with us and embrace what Alan Irvine is trying to achieve. There have been very positive signs in the last few months and this gives everyone the chance to show they support what he is doing and help make 2008/09 a memorable one for us all. The Board will continue to back the Manager as he looks to improve the quality of the squad and to share in the success, we need all our loyal supporters to encourage their friends, family and neighbours to become season ticket holders - perhaps for the first time and that will give a platform to provide Alan and the side with really great support."

EASY PAYMENT PLAN
Supporters can pay for their season tickets in instalments as part of our payment plan. The payment plan makes it very easy to be a part of the Irvine revolution. By signing up to a payment plan agreement during May, you are guaranteeing that you have secured your seat and become one of the army of fans getting behind the team.

COMPLETED STADIUM PRICING
Next season's pricing structure both in terms of season tickets and matchday tickets is simplified so that supporters behind the goals pay one set price and along the sides there are premium and normal pricing structures mirrored on both sides of the ground. The table [below] shows both season tickets and matchday prices, illustrating just how big your savings are. You will also note that there is now simplified pricing for entry into Deepdale whenever or wherever you buy your ticket; pricing will no longer be linked to the MyPNE Membership scheme, which will continue to bring added benefits to supporters through increased partnerships with local and national businesses.

FAMILY PRICING/AREAS
The Club have also implemented fantastic family pricing that gives any family a price that means their children go free! The family stand has also been extended to incorporate one block in the Alan Kelly Town End, so those who wish to enjoy football behind the goal can do so. There will also be a ground-breaking away end family section allowing visiting supporters to take advantage of family pricing and a family environment.

The Club continues to lead the way in attracting young supporters and as such has reduced the price of child season tickets - for eight to 15-year-olds - to just £69, that's just £3 a game! This is available in all normal seating areas of the ground, including for the first time the Premium Areas of both the new Invincibles Pavilion and the Sir Tom Finney Stand, whilst all under eights can still get a season ticket without having to pay a penny!

YOUNG ADULT TICKETS
Another age group to benefit from the pricing shake up are young adults. Student pricing has been amalgamated with young adults to create a new affordable price band for those aged 16 to 20 (inclusive). This price sees a reduction of more than 45 per cent compared to last year's adult price for PNE supporters of this age who are either still in education or just starting to build a career and have a limited income. [Full Terms and Conditions are available for concession priced season tickets.]

SENIORS AGEBAND
Senior supporters will also benefit, with the Club carefully considering supporters' requests and reducing the senior citizen age band from 65 to 60 for both season ticket and matchday pricing for both men and women, home and away supporters.

BILL SHANKLY KOP CHANGES
The Club are also making major changes to the Bill Shankly Kop, so that a cash turnstile facility can be in operation for the 2008/09 season for adults and concessions to pay on the gate - these will be subject to away allocation and all ticket fixtures.
