Derby County has today revealed their season ticket renewal prices for the 2012-13 season - with the Rams continuing to offer one of the most affordable season ticket packages in the npower Championship.
Renewal packs will be landing on the doormats of season ticket holders during the next week and while the Rams' eyes are firmly focused on the remaining three months of the season - plans are already being made for next season.
The Rams have confirmed that there will be a slight price increase, of 10%, for the first time in seven years, but a number of great season ticket benefits have been installed into the packages to provide even better value for season ticket holders and their families.
Derby's commitment to the future generations of support remains intact with FREE season tickets for children under the age of 12 with every adult season ticket purchase. In addition the club are also offering a new discounted season ticket for two adults and two juveniles aged between 13-17 years of age, starting from £725.
Taking the current economic climate into consideration, a 0% interest payment plan is also on offer for season ticket holders who renew by the end of February - while all season ticket holders that renew by the end of the month will also receive a FREE Derby County replica 2011-12 shirt and a £50 retail voucher to spend in shopDCFC, which is redeemable against 2011-12 replica kits and 2011-12 training wear only.
The annual Early Bird Discount offer, which represents great savings, will run until Sunday 15th April.
In addition, after receiving supporter input, the Rams have updated their stadium map, making more seats available at a lower price point.
Derby County CEO Tom Glick said: "Although there is a slight price increase, this is the first time in seven years that prices have been raised for renewing season ticket holders.
"We know our season ticket prices remain one of the more affordable ones in the Championship and offer substantial savings over individual match rates.
"We are fully aware of the challenging economic climate and have implemented a 0% interest payment plan for supporters who sign up for next season by 29th February, while the four and eight month payment plans, which were an option last season, are also available.
"Our season ticket holders continue to be the life blood of Derby County and we consulted with various supporter groups before making our final decision on the season ticket packages, which resulted in some welcome feedback and fresh ideas.
"We are all encouraged by our progress on the pitch and we hope our season ticket holders are too. The team is on the rise and Nigel Clough is continuing to build a spirited squad with a blend of talented youth and experience.
"We have plenty more youth coming through the ranks and we believe there are plenty of reasons to be positive about the future."
