adminLeicester City fans could be paying Premier League-level prices for League One football next season after the club announced a freeze on season-ticket fees.
This marks the 10th time in 12 seasons that City have not raised season-ticket prices, and the fees will remain the same regardless of which division the club plays in.
Fans can renew their seats from Tuesday, March 31, before the club’s Championship fate is decided over the final seven matches of the campaign. If City are relegated, the prices will not change, meaning fans will pay the same for the same number of games whether in the second or third tier.
With the cheapest season ticket at £404, City’s prices are not the most expensive in League One. Stockport County’s cheapest ticket this season is £463, while Luton, Plymouth, Rotherham, and Wimbledon also have higher starting prices than Leicester.
However, City’s fees remain above the League One average of £355, with Doncaster offering the cheapest adult season ticket at £244.
Despite back-to-back relegations, last season saw season-ticket renewals at just below 90%, an impressive figure given the poor campaign, though it was the lowest in four years.
Recent attendances suggest renewal rates may drop if the club falls into League One, and possibly even if they remain in the Championship.
Attendance has gradually fallen throughout the season, regularly dipping below 30,000 after consistently staying above that mark for over a decade. Many season-ticket holders have not taken up their seats.
The last time City were in League One, the average attendance was 20,253 only a 3,000 drop from the previous Championship season.
