Northampton Town have announced season ticket package details for the Shoe Army for the 2023/24 season.
Attendances are once again on the rise at Sixfields, with the club set to record an increased average attendance in the current season, backing up the 2021/22 average which was in itself the club’s highest League 2 average attendance for sixteen years.
We have seen some dramatic moments at Sixfields this season. Jack Sowerby's winner against Crawley Town, Ryan Haynes scoring a last minute goal to beat Colchester United on the opening day of the season, the win against Stockport County, the victories over promotion chasers Carlisle United and Mansfield Town and the success over top of the table Leyton Orient.
These are memories the Shoe Army have shared together, and 2023/24 is set to bring more such moments. Make sure you are part of it!
Season ticket prices for 2023/24 have increased by less than £1 a game for all categories. This is the first price increase in the cost of season tickets for 12 years, and in that time the club has absorbed inflation and rising costs for more than a decade. In this time, the average costs incurred for stewarding a game has risen by 160%, while medical provision costs have shown a 177% increase across those years. This is in addition to the increase in general running costs the club faces day to day.
An adult season ticket in the LCS Dave Bowen North Stand for 2023/24 costs just over £11 per game for adults, with under 18s season tickets available at just over £5 per game and under 14s from just over £3 per game. Under 7s season tickets remain free.
