Get your season tickets now!
11th July 2007

Kularoos Plymouth Raiders are encouraging fans to call and book their season tickets at the Pavilions as soon as they can to avoid disappointment, with the tickets going on general release to the public tomorrow (July 12^th).  The Plymouth Pavilions box office started taking orders for tickets on July 2^nd with previous season ticket holders having first option on the seats.  The official supporters club was then given a few days to purchase tickets, but on Thursday this week, anyone can call and book their seats for the whole of next season.

“Speaking to the Pavilions, they’ve confirmed that sales of the tickets have been fantastic so far,” says Raiders Chief Executive Dave Briggs. “It seems as though virtually everyone who bought tickets last year, has bought them for this year again, and they haven’t even gone on general release yet. We’re fast approaching our target figure of sales for season tickets, which is great news and means Coach Stronach can go out and put together an even stronger team.”

Prices are being held at the same level as last year, and represent a huge saving and a fantastic deal. At £165 for an adult, and £121 for concessions, season ticket holders are guaranteed entry to 25 games including all friendlies, league, cup and trophy and any playoff games. If fans were to buy tickets for all 25 games individually, they’d end up paying £300 for an adult ticket, so with the £135 saving from buying a season ticket, it means that effectively, fans get free entry to 11 home games.

For the first time, season ticket holders will be given some added incentives this year, with entry to an exclusive competition, a free Raiders t-shirt, free entry to all development team home games, and the first purchase option for BBL finals tickets.

Raiders Chairman Bob Widdecombe confirmed that the club was delighted with the sales so far. “We were delighted when we heard the figure given to us by the Pavilions. To have such support and loyalty from our fans means a lot, and we hope that when the tickets go on general release tomorrow, even more fans take advantage of the fantastic deal that’s on offer to them.”

Briggs added that the re-signing of star forward Terrence Durham had resulted in a swell of excitement around the club. “I came into the office early this morning and was met with email after email and an answer machine full of messages of support and congratulations for getting Terrence back to the Raiders.  Coach has done a superb job with recruitment, and there are more signings in the pipeline this week.”
