Next Season Tickets at £138 for Bradford Fans

Season Tickets Holders can take advantage of a special offer for next season and renew at just £138 as long as they do so by 5pm next Monday.

Unfortunately for Hereford United supporters the deal is for Bradford fans but it just shows why the gates at the Valley Stadium are so high.

Bradford are said to have around 10,000 season ticket holders which even at only £138 (just £6 per home game) gives them an income of £1,380,000. Hereford are thought to have around 1,000 STH paying about £250 each or an income from STH of about £250,000.

For those who don't pay up in advance and also visiting supporters the charge to watch a Bradford home game is around £20 for adults, the highest in League Two.

Almost certainly Bradford make up some of their income from extra sales of food, programmes and merchandise because supporters who pay their £138 season ticket up front would usually have some spare cash to spend when they go to the games.

Hereford United have recently announced a half-season ticket for £135 standing or £170 seated.

UPDATE: It appears that the security certificate on Bradford's on-line ticket office has expired so their fans are finding it difficult to purchase new season tickets. Also Bradford's ticket office phone lines were not being answered very quickly today and so supporters wishing to purchase tickets for tomorrow's game were reported to be finding the task difficult.

Hereford United's office has been closed since Noon on Christmas Eve.
