Why it matters: This represents the first opportunity for supporters to secure their place at Portman Road for the 2025/26 campaign, with any subsequent sales subject to availability.

By the numbers: Almost all season ticket prices have increased by approximately 10% from last season, with the exception of Under 12s, which remain frozen at £49.

Cost per game: Based on 23 home matches, supporters can expect to pay:

  • Adult: £18-£28 per game
  • Senior (65+): £13-£18 per game
  • Under 23: £10 per game
  • Under 19: £5-£6 per game
  • Under 12: £2.13 per game across all areas

The details: Season ticket holders currently paying via Direct Debit will have their seats automatically renewed at the advertised rate unless they cancel by 5pm on Tuesday, 29 April.

Those wishing to pay via Direct Debit will have their payments split over 12 months if they are already on the scheme, or 11 months if they are newly signing up, with the first payment due in June.

What they're saying: Town Chairman Mark Ashton said: "The incredible support Kieran and his team have been given over the last few years has been clear for all to see and is something which has been noted by opposition clubs both home and away during the course of this season.

"We will attack the 2025/26 season as one, as we always have, with everyone at the Club extremely grateful for the continued support.

"We are pleased to have once again been able to freeze season ticket prices for all supporters under 12, making football accessible to the next generation."

What's next: Information regarding the introduction of a season ticket waiting list will be made available in due course, with any further sales windows being subject to availability.

The bottom line: While adult prices have increased, the club maintains its "commitment to making attending games at Portman Road both affordable and value for money at a time of rising costs in so many areas."
