Hartlepool United have now announced Season Ticket prices for the upcoming 2009/10 campaign offering many new and improved benefits to supporters.

Earlier this year the Club asked fans for their suggestions concerning Season Ticket sales for the new season and, having discussed each comment in detail, Pools have taken several points on board. An interest free option came out top.

Season Ticket Prices Frozen For 2009/10 - With Attractive Payment Options Or Discounts

Pools have kept Season Ticket prices for the upcoming campaign at the same prices as last season - and are offering supporters several attractive payment options.

Early Bird Discount - Five Games For Free

Back by popular demand, the Early Bird discount has been re-introduced as an option for fans wishing to purchase their ticket in advance and make a big saving in the process.

Supporters who take advantage of the Early Bird Discount will pay just £315 (adult) or £130 (concession) for their Season Ticket in either the Town End or Millhouse Terrace or £350 (adult) or £150 (concession) in the Cyril Knowles Stand or Millhouse Seats.

This reduced payment option gives supporters the equivalent of over 5 games free within their Season Ticket price.

A one-off payment in full must be received by no later than 4pm on Friday 12^th June in order to receive the Early Bird Discount.

Existing Season Ticket seats will be reserved until 1pm on Saturday 20th June.

Interest Free Payments - Pools To Pay Interest

New for this season, Pools are giving supporters the chance to spread payment for their Season Ticket over 5 or 10 months interest free.

Zebra Finance will again provide the credit for supporters to purchase their Season Tickets but this year the Club will cover all interest charges, meaning fans will pay the cost of their ticket plus a small administration charge only.

For example, if a fan purchases an adult Season Ticket for the Cyril Knowles Stand at a cost of £399 on the 10-month credit option - you will pay £39.90 per month for the ten months, plus a £10 administration fee payable to HUFC - with Pools covering the cost of the interest charged over the ten months.

HUFC Payment Scheme

Once again we offer supporters the chance to use the HUFC Payment Scheme to purchase their Season Tickets.

This is an interest free scheme which allows fans to pay for their Season Tickets in instalments ahead of the season starting.

With an initial payment of £80 per adult/senior/student Season Ticket and £20 per child ticket (non refundable), supporters can choose how much they pay off in subsequent instalments.

Season Tickets purchased with the HUFC Payment Scheme must be paid in full by 4pm on Friday 24^th July.

There will also be a £10 administration charge made payable to HUFC to use this method of payment.

Senior Citizen Age Reduced

One of the big requests from supporters in our Season Ticket feedback was to reduce the age of supporters who qualify for a senior citizen ticket with Pools.

In previous seasons, the Club have set the marker at 65 or over for a senior citizen ticket but this season will see this reduced to aged 60 or over.

Any supporter purchasing a senior citizen Season Ticket must provide proof of age in order to qualify.

Student Tickets

To qualify for a student Season Ticket, supporters must be in full-time education (4 days per week) and must present a valid Student ID card upon purchase.

Under 19 Tickets

Pools will again offer a concessionary ticket to those supporters aged under the age of 19 on 1^st August 2009.

In order to purchase an Under 19 Season Ticket, supporters must provide proof of age upon purchase.

Under 16 Season Ticket Remains - Less Than £3.50 Per Game

After the success of last season's Under 16 Season Ticket, Pools are again offering this as an option to our young supporters.

Any child aged Under 16 on 1^st August 2009 will qualify to purchase an Under 16 Season Ticket for just £75 - meaning they get to watch all regular League One home games at The Vic for just £3.26 per game.

Under 16 Season Tickets do not have to be purchased in conjunction with an adult Season Ticket.

Proof of age must be provided at the time of purchase.

Under 13 Prices Introduced - Less Than £2.50 Per Game

Further to the success of our Under 16 tickets and in order to encourage supporters of the future to The Vic, Pools have this season introduced a reduced-price Under 13 Season Ticket.

Supporters aged under 13 on 1^st August 2009 will qualify for this new ticket which is available for just £50 for the season.

This means that supporters aged Under 13 will get to see all of Pools' regular

League One home games in the 2009/10 season for just £2.17 per game.

Any Under 13 Season Ticket must be purchased at the same time and in the same area as an adult Season Ticket. The child must also be family related to the adult.

Proof of age will be required at the time of purchase.

Hospitality Offer

For the 2009/10 campaign, each Season Ticket purchased will include 6 additional HUFC Matchday Hospitality Vouchers for supporters.

Each voucher will give the Season Ticket holder the opportunity to enjoy a Centenary Meal when attending a League One match at The Vic for the special price of just £10 per person (excluding match ticket).

All games subject to availability. Further details on how to take up this offer will be announced at various points throughout the season.
