SEASON TICKETS: A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

Speaking exclusively to cardiffcityfc.co.uk this morning,

Tuesday 23rd Feb 2016

Ken said: “In line with Tan Sri Vincent’s vision for the Football Club, as set out during his recent visit to Cardiff, decisions were made in recent months to ensure that 2016/17 season tickets were financially accessible to as many supporters as possible in order for them to come and support their local team.

“Naturally, we wanted to ensure that there was a reduction in prices. Secondly, we wanted to set a two-year price freeze for those who commit early.

“Of course, we also want to ensure that Cardiff City continues to grow and that new supporters find the love for their Football Club in the way that their parents and grandparents did before them. As such, we’ve established a more affordable junior ticket price for 2016/17 and have re-established the student ticket for those eligible.

“This is the first time we’ve had student ticketing since 2011/12, although you’d have to go back to the 2008/09 season – our final year at Ninian Park – to see the last time they were priced as low as £99.

“A number of improvements have been made over the course of this season to engage better with our fan base. I’m pleased to say that this is another step on that journey, with much more to come. In line with Cardiff City Foundation, we will continue to offer further access and opportunities to schools and local community groups, as has been the case for many years prior to this.

“I’ve been delighted with the response regarding our 2016/17 launch and look forward to us going on sale this coming St. David’s Day, March 1st. In the meantime, let’s look forward as one as we continue this season’s Play-Off push

He needs to move the cut off for cheaper seats in the ninian back at least 6 rows too, the soak zone may be even higher

CEO communicating to fans, keep it up Ken, good man.

Brilliant communication from the CEO, keep up the good work Ken!

Well I'm in jj that's as far back as you can go
And I can assure you we got soaked last Saturday
And the new (empty) stand behind us was also soaked
There is no dry area in the ninnian stand

I'm in GG, and to be fair Saturday was the first time I've known it be very wet that far back. Thankfully, the swirling rain and windy weather like we had on Saturday is unusual. The usual vertical rain we get barely affects us in our row normally.

We moved over to the corner stand near the Canton, but it was still getting in there too!
