Tigers will run out for the closing fixture of the 2009/10 – the Guinness Premiership Final against Saracens at Twickenham this afternoon – in the knowledge that supporters are already booking their places for next season.
Club managing director David Clayton said: “Season ticket numbers hit a record of more than 13,000 for this year and to have 10,000 supporters already committed to joining us for next season at this stage is tremendous news.
“The multi-year season ticket has been popular and a large number of supporters took the option to ‘top-up’ for next year even before we started the renewals process.
“Also within the 10,000 which have already been sold for next season are around 500 new season ticket holders. That is excellent news and shows just how the matchday atmosphere at Welford Road and the performances of the team can make a big impression on our newcomers.
“Opening the Caterpillar Stand this season allowed us to welcome many more new supporters and we’re delighted that so many of them are committed to supporting the team in the longer term.
“Tigers won 16 times on home soil this season and there is no doubting the value of that ‘16th man’ in the stands.”
Supporters can take advantage of the best available season ticket prices by booking before 5pm on June 1, with prices starting from just £16 per match for adults or £6 per match for juniors.
There are price categories for adults, 65-plus, young adults and full-time students, juniors and families. And an easy-payment plan is available to spread the cost over six months.
