May 21 2009 by Andrew McGilvray, Hamilton Advertiser

HAMILTON Accies this week announced that adult season ticket prices will drop by £50 to £300 for season 2009/10.

Concession season tickets will cost £160 and, for the first time, those aged under 20 as of August 1, 2009, will qualify.

All season ticket-holders, concession or otherwise, will be entitled to bring two under-16s to all games for free, including against Rangers and Celtic.

Should Hamilton get 19 home games next season, this works out at £2.80 per head for those taking advantage of the concession offer and £5.26 a match for those paying full price.

Existing season ticket-holders’ seats will be reserved until Monday, June 8, after which time they will be made available to other supporters.

Chairman Ronnie MacDonald said: “Having experienced an eventful first season in the SPL and retained our status, we are delighted to offer fans the opportunity to renew their existing season tickets at £300 for adults and £160 for all concessions.

“The concession rate applies to those supporters aged 65 or over as of August 1, 2009, and for the first time, those aged under-20 as of August 1, 2009.

“Season ticket-holders represent everything that is good about our club and the board are keen that all fans enjoy their visits to New Douglas Park.

“We are all committed to supporting our management and team, especially on difficult days, and our fans have been instrumental in creating the ‘feel good’ atmosphere around the Accies.

“Thanks to our fans for their ongoing support, without which the club could not hope to prosper.”
