    City season card prices have been frozen for 2016/17, with improved age categories, membership to reward loyalty and greater discounts and benefits.

    • Best price guaranteed – prices will increase after early bird period
    • Adult season card from just £13 per game, represents 11 games FREE
    • Extended family section - Adult from just £15 per game U12 goes FREE
    • New Under-25s category
    • Under-19s season card from only £4.30 per game
    • Under-12s season card from just £2 per game + FREE replica shirt

    Following extensive consultation with FAN (Fans Advisory Network), the club will be introducing a “Refer A Friend” scheme. This allows season card members to become the ultimate advocate for the club, and they’ll receive a £20 gift card* for every new supporter that signs up for the next campaign following their recommendation**.

    A new age category of Under-25s will be introduced with season cards available from just under £10 a game. This category has been introduced following advice from FAN, as the club looks to make the transition easier for supporters through the years.

    Last season’s sold out Family Corner at Ashton Gate will now be extended by a further 1,000 seats, and for every adult that purchases a season card in this area, an under-12 goes FREE!

    The Under-19s price category remains and will now be available in all areas of the stadium, as will the hugely popular Under-12s offering for £50 with a free replica shirt.

    Elsewhere, after talks with supporters from the singing section and FAN, the unreserved seating section will remain in the Atyeo Stand, with adult prices frozen at just £299. Due to limited numbers this section (Blocks N35 & N36) will be renewal only, and supporters may be required to relocate for cup matches.

    All season card renewals will include “Member Plus” status***. This gives added benefits, including away ticket priority and 15% discount on merchandise, food and drink at Ashton Gate (increased from ten per cent).

    The 2016/17 season will see the fully-redeveloped Ashton Gate opened with nearly 27,000 seats. Season cards in the new 10,500-seater West Stand will be available for the first time, with the lower section on sale during the early bird period. Should demand dictate, West Stand Upper seats will go on sale first to West Stand Lower season card members.

    • Season Card Member Plus receive away ticket priority
    • Season Card Member Plus 15 per cent discount on food, drink and merchandise
    • All Season Card Members get free entry to Under-21 and Bristol City Women games
    • Buy a dual sport season card (City & Bristol Rugby) and save a further 10%

    Bristol Sport chief executive Andrew Billingham said: “2016/17 will be an historic season with the stadium fully open and we’re keen to have as many fans as possible inside Ashton Gate to support City.

    “We’ve taken on board a lot of feedback from supporters, culminating in frozen season card prices, improved age categories, the new “Refer A Friend” scheme and the extended family section.

    “It’s important we attract the next generation of Bristol City supporters to Ashton Gate, which is why we’re offering a host of concession rates from birth up until the age of 25, as well as freezing prices for our long-serving adults and senior citizens.

    ”On top of that, to reward loyalty, we’re also giving everyone who renews the added benefits of Season Card Member Plus status.”

    Jeremy Palmer, chairman of FAN, said: “It has been great that Bristol Sport has engaged with us during this process and today’s announcement illustrates that we have been listened to and our input has been valued.”

    Season cards will go on sale for an early bird period from March 29th until April 29th.

    Sales for season cards will be online (24/7) and by phone. There will be no in-person sales at Ashton Gate due to the ongoing redevelopment; however Bristol Sport will be operating extended phone line hours during the sales period.

    A direct debit option will be available, allowing supporters to spread the cost of a season card over ten months. Bristol Sport will be managing the direct debit scheme, which will be interest-free, but subject to a £25 admin fee which is split across the ten-month payment plan (maximum four supporters per application).

    I like the under 25 category, might move higher up in the Dolman from row 1 to get away from the annoying kids who just stand in front of you before the match kicks off

    Well we now know the upper west stand won't be open. Suppose is a good thing, Will be our capacity will be about 22,000ish and I reckon should we stay up we'll be getting 17k-19k each week and most likey upwards of 24k when the likes of Villa, Newcastle, Sunderland visit.

    Debating now though were I'll go.... get a better seat in the south stand, or go into the Atyeo.... was gunna go west stand but am I **** paying £400 for the privilege

    I'm in the lower part of E32 at the minute, probably move to the upper part of E32, but seeing as you're in E33 I might sit there in secret and try to spot you and RedRobin <whistle>

    Not sure why you say it won't be open shiny, the spiel says...

    "The 2016/17 season will see the fully-redeveloped Ashton Gate opened with nearly 27,000 seats. Season cards in the new 10,500-seater West Stand will be available for the first time, with the lower section on sale during the early bird period.

    Me and wife currently in Atyeo. Paid £299 last year. Wanted West stand but not at £529. Likely to give South stand a go.

    Well yes should demand be high it will open but in order for that they'll need to sell at least 19/20000 season cards... Can't see that happening after this season

    There should have been a reduction in price in the Dolman for existing season ticket holders . The stands facilities are poor and still not finished despite promises.

    I am supportive of fans in the Atyeo but why are their prices much lower?

    got to be honest, thought with new stands, that the upper Dolman, with its lack of leg room, might of been reduced tbf, but no, and considering our stuttering season at the bottom, maybe a reduction slightly throughout the stadium?
