Fans have given a warm welcome to news Pompey have kept season ticket prices at the same levels for the fourth season on the trot.

The move means ticket prices for those committing to a whole season in their seat have not gone up since Pompey first slipped into League Two in 2013.

In addition to the freeze, a new discounted young person’s ticket has been introduced, while the age at which junior tickets can be bought has been pushed up to 17 as part of an ongoing campaign to attract younger supporters to Fratton Park.

Children aged nine or under who are accompanied by an adult, senior citizen or special concession will also continue to watch Pompey for free in the Family Section.

A Pompey statement said: 'Season tickets will be on sale to all supporters at the early bird rate from 10am on Wednesday, June 1. Existing season ticket holders will have until Saturday, July 9 to claim their current seat.

'Fans wishing to move seats can do so between Wednesday, July 13 and Friday, July 15 (there will be a £5 charge per season card for this service). Adult season tickets will remain at £320 (£300 for PST shareholders) and the adult matchday price is unchanged at £20.

'We are also delighted to announce that Young Persons (18-22) can now buy a special season ticket in the North Stand Upper ‘E Section’ for just £199 (with matchday tickets priced only £12). To do so will require them to register for free as a club member to prove their age entitlement, with details on how to do this announced in due course.

'There will also be amendments and improvements to the Family Section next season and any fans affected by these will be written to explaining the changes in the next few days.'
