Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Trust has been working closely with the management team of Swansea City FC to ensure the best interests of our club and our fans are looked after. At the forefront of those discussions has been the desire to protect the interests of our season ticket holders.
The Trust and the Club fully appreciate that the ongoing pandemic has affected many of us in different ways, and unfortunately it looks as if it will continue to do so in the months ahead.
We believe that the Jack Army is the best and most loyal fan base in football, evidenced by our stellar attendance (both home and away) and by just how many people chose to keep their money in the club during 2020/21 season. We are pleased therefore to see today’s announcement of season ticket prices for 2022/23 where, despite small increases in some categories, prices are still going to be amongst the very best value in the Championship.
We are also pleased to see the return of the “early bird” window, open until the 31st January 2022, which will allow supporters to renew their tickets at a maximum increase of only £1 per home game based on last season’s general pricing.
In particular the Trust is delighted to see the freezing of the under 18’s seated in the family stand at £79 and all under 12’s once again at just £49 (both under the early bird scheme).
We have always maintained the importance of regularly attracting new supporters to the club and announcing the continuation of these value packages should only see an increase in the number of adults being encouraged to bring younger supporters to enjoy the Swansea.com stadium experience and of course cheering on the Swans.
These younger fans will become the core of our support in years ahead and the whole cycle begins again of new generations becoming part of the amazing Jack Army.
We thank club’s management team for their significant effort and work to develop this pricing model, and for obtaining the agreement of our fellow shareholders. As representatives of our members and fans of Swansea City, we have always advocated in favour of match day pricing that makes attending Swans games as accessible as possible for all. We believe these season ticket prices allow our supporters and their families to continue to do that.
