Dark Blues bid to boost Dens crowd for McCann’s ‘homecoming’
Family offer for McCann’s first home game as interim manager
Dundee have announced a special family discount offer for interim manager Neil McCann’s “homecoming” match.
More than 1,200 fans flocked to Motherwell at the weekend to see the new boss win his first match in charge.
Dundee are on their travels once again this weekend, to Kilmarnock, and the club hope that the feelgood factor will still be in place when McCann – who had two spells as a player at the club – takes charge of his first game at Dens against Ross County on May 13.
They are looking for big backing from the supporters and are offering a discount for families in the Bob Shankly Stand.
Entry to that area for this fixture is priced at just £10 for an adult and under16 ticket.
Two adults and up to six children will be able to gain access for just £20. Entry will be via ticket only.
For full details on buying, contact the ticket office directly on 01382 767039 or visit the desk inside Dundee Direct. Tickets will be available online shortly. Meanwhile, Dundee have launched another bid to attract more families to Dens after announcing the 2017-18 season ticket prices.
The club have frozen prices for the third year running and during the “Super Early Bird” period, which runs until May 19, under-12s tickets will cost just £1 when purchased with an adult or senior season ticket. An additional youth season ticket can be purchased for £10 within this scheme.
The club have also extended their concession price band from under-16 up to under-18.
Dundee are also looking for season ticket holders to encourage others to buy books and will be offering money back for season ticket referrals.
Adult season ticket holders will receive £25 for each new season ticket promoted to the club.
For further details on purchasing, contact the ticket office directly or visit Dundee Direct.
The standard price for an adult season ticket has been set at £385 but anyone taking advantage of the super early bird renewal offer can buy one for £340.
