Sales of Early Bird season tickets in the Under 16 and 16-18 age groups are showing increases of 12% and 27% respectively from the same period of last year

These can be put down to a favourable pricing structure, including £75 season tickets for 16-18-year-olds and free season tickets for the second child in the same family.

Adult ticket sales are also ahead of the same period last year, by 7%, taking the increase in sales across all age ranges to 9%.

Supporters are respectfully reminded that Early Bird season ticket sales are now closed for adults.

However, to build upon on the success of the club's initiatives and try to help families whose budgets are hard pressed, Early Bird prices for all categories of Under 18 season tickets will be extended until the end of July.

Meanwhile, Burnley fans who have purchased a season ticket for the 2008/09 campaign can now collect their booklets from the ticket office at Turf Moor.

Please note that only supporters who have paid in full can collect at this time.

Supporters who specifically requested a postal delivery will receive them through the post, but otherwise booklets need to be picked up.

The ticket office is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9.15 a.m. to 1 p.m.
