TEAMTALK - Rangers announce ticket cuts

QPR have slashed season-ticket prices in an attempt to bring back fans to Loftus Road for the 2007/08 campaign.

After the prices of many season tickets were raised in the summer of 2005, Rangers saw their average attendance dip from 16,056 in the 2004-05 campaign to 13,441 in 2005/06.

With two home matches remaining this term, the average attendance at Loftus Road for games in all competitions stands at 12,292, and chairman Gianni Paladini has announced "a 10% discount in cost for the price of an annual season ticket for adults, young adults between 16 and 21, and senior citizens".
Paladini continued: "It is when assessing our finances for the forthcoming season that we have to think long and hard with regard to the pricing of our season tickets.

"A nationwide campaign to reduce the price of season tickets and match-day ticket prices has been a success throughout the country, and we would like to think we have played our part, too."

Adults who renew their season tickets before May 31 would pay £463 for a seat in the South Africa Road stand, as opposed to £514 for the same time in 2006.

April 18th QPR Announcement re Season Tickets
SEASON TICKETS

Chairman Gianni Paladini has today issued the following statement with regard to Season Ticket prices for the 2007/08 campaign.

Dear Supporter,

As the Coca Cola Championship campaign reaches its conclusion, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your fantastic support this season and needless to say, I look forward to seeing you all in the 2007/08 campaign.

It is when assessing our finances for the forthcoming season that we have to think long and hard with regard to the pricing of our Season Tickets.

A nationwide campaign to reduce the price of Season Tickets and Match Day Ticket Prices, in an attempt to bring back the masses to the Beautiful Game, has been a success up and down the country and we'd like to think we've played our part too.

With the help of our many supporters groups, the club is delighted to announce a 10% discount in cost for the price of an annual Season Ticket for adults, young adults 16-21 (formerly students) and senior citizens (over 60's).

Furthermore, in line with our aim to attract the supporters of tomorrow to Loftus Road, Kids under-8 will still be able to attend matches for free, while Juniors under 16 (with proof of age) will pay a reduced rate of £70.

Current Season Ticket Holders will have until Thursday 31st May to renew their tickets and additionally, fans can take advantage of our Direct Debit Facility which runs over a ten month period.

Remember that Season Tickets remain excellent value when compared to the cost of buying tickets on a match by match basis and I sincerely hope this year we are able to welcome more supporters back to Loftus Road.

In line with Government Legislation and Football League guidelines, there will be a NO SMOKING policy throughout the whole stadium as from 1st July 2007.

Finally, I would once again like to thank you all for your continued support.

Come on you R's!

Gianni Paladini

Chairman
