The ten headlines revealed at the recent Fans Forum are below, detailing the main reasons why supporters should consider being a season ticket holder next season.
As well as those original headlines, we've also got the great news about a finance plan next season (click HERE for information), as well as an interesting update for fans who were season ticket holders in 2007/8 (click HERE for information).
What's more, there are some great incentives associated with the season ticket package, including access to the Layer Suite after the game.
Ticket Office Supervisor Katy Springett told CU-FC.com: "We believe we have put together a fantastic season ticket package for every budget, with an extensive range of prices available around the ground.
"During the course of the first season at the new stadium, we have listened to feedback from the fans and this is reflected not only in pricing, but also in some of the categories that have been introduced and, in many cases, reintroduced.
"I am particularly pleased with the prices in the South Stand as everybody at the club looks to support Paul's wishes to have the fans behind the goal next season and we hope that offer is one that will appeal to a large number of our supporters."
The key dates regarding season ticket renewals are shown on page eight of the season ticket brochure, but fans can start to renew from Friday March 27th.
We will be also holding the first of our relocation days on Saturday, April 4th where, on the morning of the Leeds game, fans will be able to visit us between 10am and 12pm to choose a new seat.
Due to the changed layout of the ground to accommodate new pricing options, there will be a number of season ticket relocations but, in all instances, a best like for like replacement will be put on hold for fans interested in renewing their season ticket.
TEN GREAT REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BE A SEASON TICKET HOLDER NEXT YEAR
Paul Lambert has transformed the U's fortunes since arriving at the club at the end of 2008 and it is likely to be a season to remember under the Scotsman's leadership.
The club have been working hard to put together a tempting season ticket package for the coming season and we think we've got something for everyone next time around.
So, here are our top ten headlines to be a U's fan next season.
1) Sing in the South!
Perhaps the biggest change next season is making the South Stand the new home for Colchester United's supporters. We want you to "sing in the south" and we're offering up some great reasons to do so.
It will cost just £18 to sit in this stand - and with a season ticket, it will work out at around £15 a game, cheaper than it was to stand at Layer Road!
What's more, for those in the 17s-U21s price bracket, a match ticket is just £12 and a season ticket renewal is less than a tenner a match!
2) A Bigger Family Enclosure
We're looking to encourage fans of the future to the Weston Homes Community Stadium and, as part of that initiative, we've increased the size of the Family Enclosure seating by 33%! That means more family friendly space for you to come and watch the game. And that's not all…
3) Family Bundle Tickets
Do you come regularly as a family? Then we've got family bundle tickets on offer - either one adult and two U16s or two adults and two U16s. All of which means that with a season ticket, a family of four can watch the U's for less than £45 a game!
4
) U8s Go For £3 a game!
What's more, we've gone even further for the youngest of the U's fans! As part of our aim to make football affordable for the whole of the town, we've made the Family Enclosure areas cheaper than ever - in the Family Enclosure next season, it'll cost you just £3 per game to bring a fan aged eight or under and that means that for a season ticket in that area, it'll cost you less than £65!
5) Family Prices Extended
The family fun doesn't stop there either. Due to the popularity of our U16s and U11s prices in the Family Enclosure, those prices are now available in the whole of the East Stand.
6) 17s-U21s Pricing Introduced
Due to popular demand, we've introduced a new pricing group, meaning that people aged between 17 and 21 get in for a new concessionary rate. This will be the usual concession price, apart from in the South Stand - news of which follows below.
7) A Force To Be Reckoned With
We are also reintroducing our hugely popular Forces concessions around the ground next season. We've been proud of the efforts Our Boys have put in for their country over the last couple of years and will be offering up a concessionary rate for all Forces members in 2009/10.
8) Season Ticket Incentives
It is not just your ticket that you'll be getting if you get on board this season.
We're putting together some added benefits to go with your season ticket this time around, including:-
• Up to four games free
• 10% discount in the Club Shop
• Discount on Club events
• First choice for away/cup tickets
• Access to the Layer Suite after the game (18+ only)
• Further offers especially for Season Ticket Holders to be revealed throughout the season
9) All Season Ticket Renewals Are Cheaper!
We have also made all season ticket renewals cheaper than last season. As well as all the new pricing options above, we can guarantee that any fan renewing next season will pay less for their season ticket in 2009/10 than they did in the first campaign at the Weston Homes.
10) Payment Plan On Offer
There will also be the option of a payment plan this season for fans wishing to spread their payments through the year. For more details of how to break the cost of your season ticket into ten bite-size chunks, contact the Ticket Office today!
