5 YEAR FREEZE ON TICKET PRICES
Fri 30 Oct 2009
Cardiff City fans are being offered the chance to freeze their season ticket prices for an incredible FIVE YEARS.
Chairman Peter Ridsdale announced the inflation-busting scheme on Thursday, adding that prices will stay frozen even if the Bluebirds soar into the Premier League.
The first 10,000 supporters to buy a 2010-11 Ambassador season ticket before December 31, 2009 will have their prices guaranteed for five years until the end of the 2014-2015 season.
Peter said: "Our fans have got behind us again and again. Now it's time to give them something back with a ground-breaking offer. You'd have to go a very long way to find a similar offer at another club.
"They'll save straight away because a VAT increase is due to come into force on January 1 next year. There'll be no need to worry about inflation, and if we get into the Premier League, there will be no increase."
The tickets will be available from Friday, October 30, and this is how the scheme will work:
*The first 10,000 fans who buy a 2010-11 season ticket before December 31, 2009 will become Platinum Ambassadors and will be guaranteed no price increases for five years.
*Prices start from as little as £14 per game for an adult and just over £2 per game for under 16s. Yes! £2 a game.
*We will still be offering our highly successful under-9s go free policy in the Braces Bread Family Stand.
*The offer is open to the first 10,000 fans buying their season tickets, or up until December 31, 2009, whichever is the earlier.
*You still buy tickets season by season and you do NOT have to guarantee to buy for all five years
*You can still buy tickets after 31/12/09 but you don't get the five-year deal
*If we change owner the offer still stands.
*Juniors who reach adult status during the five-year term will become liable for the full adult price in the season AFTER they reach the age of 16. Adults who reach the age of 60 during the five-year term will pay the concession price for the season AFTER their 60th birthday.
HOW TO BUY
Here's how to buy your Platinum Ambassador season ticket:
Phone 0845 345 1400
Online at www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk

FINANCE OPTION
For fans who prefer an instalment option, we have teamed up with Zebra Finance to offer a 10-month equal instalment plan (APR 19.9% - terms and conditions available on request)
APR 19.9% TYPICAL EXAMPLE: If a season ticket purchased at £399.00 were repaid in 10 monthly equal instalments of £43.32 and paid in full 10 months after the advance was debited to the account, the interest payable would be £34.20, with a total repayable amount of £433.20 (19.9% variable).
