Ticket price hike for Blackpool FC
 |
| Blackpool supporters watch the last game of the season against Watford |
Blackpool FC are to hike up ticket prices for their second season in the Championship.
Some prices will increase by as much as 30 per cent as the club aims for further consolidation in the second tier of the English game.
Matchday admission prices were among the cheapest in the division last season at £18 -£21.50.
However, prices for the 2008/09 season will range from £24-£26.
Season tickets, which go on sale today, range in price from £423-£460.
Bloomfield Road will have the smallest ground capacity in the Championship next season.

Club chairman Karl Oyston has said that the number of seats will be increased shortly and that several schemes are being considered.
However, plans for a new South Stand are not thought to be imminent.
At Sunday's match against Watford - the last game of the season in which the Seasiders escaped relegation - some Blackpool supporters protested at the lack of a south stand at the Bloomfield Road ground as our picture shows.

As an exiled 'Pool supporter, I watch them regularly when they play in the London area. Prices here are all in the £22-£25 bracket, and all the London Clubs have indicated that they too are likely to increase their prices for next season.
Away supprters might reasonably expect for £22-£25 to be seated in covered accomodation. (if you get my drift)
