Are they not offering a student Season Ticket?

Pricing seems a bit strange, notice price is up to £17 for the stand, bit pricey that! And no 11-17 ST for the stand at all?

Under 11s for a quid still which is good, I'd like to see it extended up to 16 myself, but it's better than nothing. Should be across the board too IMO, why charge kids extra to sit in the stand when it may be because they struggle to see on the terrace or come with grand parents etc.

Sometimes I think pricing in ticket is made un-necessarily complicated.

Just have:
Under 16s = £1
Student/Concession = £8 / £10 stand
Adults = £14 / £17 stand.

Job Jobbed. Not even convinced by the need to charge more for the stand. Again, the elderly/infirm may not be able to stand for 90 minutes, why should they be forced to pay more?

Seems a fair charge to me. Yes juniors to U15 PLUS all ground access is a must

Think the over all deal is fair if you compare it to last seasons pricing above and other ground we visit. Good to see the club now offer a student deal but would of been nice to offer them a season ticket.
So sitting in the stand will cost you £2 more this season at £17 and standing will remain at £14 other pricing on the day will remain the same if I'm not mistaken.
Shame we never managed a half season deal for those that work shifts and those that have to work some weekends as part of their working week.

Early bird season ticket is the way to go. 5 games free across the ticket range over the course of the season.

May I also suggest a season programme ticket which entitles the holder to a guaranteed programme at each home game.

I can't believe folk on here think that pricing is OK.

I'll get one as am back in Barrow all the time from July and can afford it. But all students under 21 will try to get in as U18, the stand increase is too much and what about free U11 with an adult?

Massive, massive missed opportunity. We'll spend the two grand a week on two players it would have cost. Fotball is too expensive in this country in the minds of many people. Even competing round the top of the league we won't get more than 1900 average with that pricing.

And there will be more of a thread if the strips are out late! Let's say it had been £150 with a free U11. I'd have probably got one for me, one to be shared between my lads (one's at college and could have had it on holidays) and bagged a free U11 so my grandson could go with his Dad once in a while (last time cost me £30 in merchandise and food)

Good that they are out early but nothing innovative. The learning curve gets longer by the year.

Prices ok, but would like to see extras such as discount in club shop(if we ever have anything worth buying) for season ticket holders.

Wow £17 to sit that will bring them in!

Every bloody year the same thing.

Looking forward to the shirts being delayed and no firm date about ground redevelopments whilst we sign players on huge contracts.

Probably expected a £1 rise to sit down to £16.£2 a bit steep..............Have to get half a season ticket season after next. ;)

Are the fans going to contribute to a free season ticket fund again for kids or U17's?
I have been left a sum of £100 by a recently deceased fan and I would like it to go on either 1 season ticket for an older lad or 6 £18 ones.

few lads in furness yday saying price too much. only floating fans wouldn't buy season ticket but go as part of day on [SwearFilter] sometime. want a 10 man ticket. pay for 9 get your 10th man free. or group of 10 gets 10 free pint tokens. still think drinking on terraces be trialled for friendlies at least. few boys in the farmers last sun saying want that implemented and would sway them to go. come on cassons where is innovation and entrepreneurial spirit.

Maybe could have shown a bit of imagination

You can't drink on the terraces
