Ticket sales are on the up despite drop

Posh have attracted more than 500 new season ticket holders for the 2022-23 campaign despite relegation from the Championship.

Club officials credit the work they’ve done with their popular ‘schools initiative’ for the additional take up for a season in League One.

Posh had sold 4,100 season tickets by the end of May which was within 1% of the number they had sold at the same time last year.

Posh froze their season ticket prices for this campaign, but they are still among the most expensive for the 2022-23 League One campaign.

Of the 22 clubs who have revealed their prices, only Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton Athletic have more expensive average adult grandstand season ticket prices than Posh, according to a survey carried out by the

Portsmouth News.

Posh are charging £529 for an adult season ticket in their Family Stand and Main Stand, although these could have been purchased for £439 or £479 if paid for before May 5.

There are decent discounts for seniors (65+, £409), under 24s (£319) and under 18s (£129). Under 12s can obtain a season ticket for free if accompanied by a fullpaying adult. The under 24 category is a new introduction for next season.

Posh are also offering season tickets for the London Road End which next season will be a safe standing area rather than a plain terrace. These prices range between £429 and £129 with under 12s again able to gain free entry.

For those fans with a cash to spare a platinum season ticket is available for £2009 (adults), £1750 (seniors over 65) or £1029 (under 18s). The platinum package guarantees tickets for all 46 League One matches plus any cup, play-off or friendly games. Purchasers also receive coach travel to all away games plus a home and away kit and £125 in food and drink vouchers.

Charlton’s adult price is £575 with Wednesday charging £560. Posh’s neighbours Cambridge United have a £439 adult season ticket price. The cheapest adult season tickets in League One can be found at Accrington Stanley (£264.50) and Morecambe (£300). Fleetwood and Derby have yet to reveal their 2022-23 prices.
