From The Archives - Season Ticket Prices 2015/16

A look back at season ticket prices for Hereford FC's first campaign which kicked off in August 2015.

Hereford FC commercial manager Chris Ammonds has given more information on the sale of season tickets.
"Season ticket prices for adults are £135, for concessions they will be £110 and for under 16's £20," Ammonds told BBC Hereford and Worcester (on April 2nd 2015).
"Match day admission prices will be £8 for adults, £7 for concessions and £3 for junior but just £1 for juniors who are HUST members.
"From our point of view (low prices for juniors) that's key to the whole club really, we need to try and trap the future generation to come and support the club.
"I've already trapped my son and I'm hoping there are other parents out there who will do the same with their children.
"£20 we think that's a really good price for youngsters and if we can start filling the ground with the younger element then that gives us a really good base to build on moving forward.
"It has been difficult to come up with a pricing structure (given the club doesn't know which league it will play in as yet) but what we've tried to do is to hit a price structure that sits between the two possible levels that we could be at.
"We're likely to be at step five, but there is that small chance we could be put in at step four and we think the prices won't be too expensive for step five but be a fair and sensible price for step four.
"It took a little bit of research of other clubs but we feel we've settled on the middle ground to cover both basis.
"It will be very interesting (if Hereford FC are in the same league as Westfields). We had the charity match at Westfields the other Sunday when 715 fans turned up and it made quite a lot of us smile with the thought of going to Westfields for an away game and then Westfields coming to Edgar Street for their away game.
"We are very hopeful from all the reaction we've had on social media and the messages we've had, we're very optimistic that we'll get significent sales.
"We set our target quite low in the budget to be sensible and prudent and we are very hopeful of beating that.
"We've got to hit the 250 mark to hit our target and anything beyond will help out no-end as we build the club for the start of the season.
"Application forms are on the website, it's only sale by cheque or cash until we get facilities sorted at the stadium."

A couple of other points from the club about season tickets:
Season tickets are valid for all open areas of ground, but you can reserve specific seats. Only the Blackfriars End will be unused.
Please specify when buying your ticket whether you wish to stand or sit so we can make a note of numbers. Prices are the same in all ground.

Concession price applies to anyone who has a government pension.
