Cheaper admission at the ABAX

Posh fans can take advantage of category B ticket prices for the first time this season when Gillingham visit the ABAX Stadium for a League One fixture on Saturday.

That means a £2 reduction on normal matchday admission prices in all parts of the ground and for all age groups apart from under sevens who only pay a quid to get in anyway!

Advance tickets for the Gillingham match, i.e those purchased before 9am on Saturday, are £24 (it’s usually £26) for adults, £19 (£21) for senior citizens over 60, £15 (£17) for under 22s, £8 (£10) for under 18s and £6 (£8) for under 12s.

There is a £2 increase after 9am on matchday for adults, senior citizens and under 22s and a £1 increase for under 18s and under 12s.

Seven matches have been designated as category B games this season, although this is subject to change.

Surprise League One leaders Shrewsbury are among the category B fixtures at the moment.

The current category B fixtures after Gillingham are Shrewsbury (October 28), Bury (December 23), Walsall (January 6), Oldham (January 20), Scunthorpe (February 13) and Rochdale (April 14).
