Season tickets for the 2009/10 season are now on sale.

Athletic are doing their level best to help fans during the current recession by FREEZING season ticket prices for a FOURTH consecutive season.

The club are being faced with ever-increasing operating costs but have opted to keep prices at the current level for the 2009/10 campaign.

Matchday admission prices also remain unchanged in all areas.

Once again, fans purchasing before the early bird deadline (noon on May 28) will receive a significant discount on the price of their season ticket.

See the 'Season Tickets' section under the 'Tickets' header for details of season ticket prices for the 2009/10 season.

The price freeze means fans aged 6 to 16 can again watch a full season of football for just £50 - that's only £2.17 per game!

The cheapest adult season ticket is £303 - ensuring a seat for 23 League fixtures for almost £7 cheaper per game than the pay on the day admission price.

What's more, each and every supporter will receive £70 cashback on their season ticket should the club process 4,500 applications before August 1, 2009 (terms and conditions apply).

To make buying a season ticket even easier, the club have established a number of easy payment options.

Fans wishing to pay via convenient instalments can do so via the Oldham Athletic Easy Payment Plan, provided in association with Zebra Finance.

Season tickets can also be purchased or renewed online via the official e-ticketing outlet on the club's website - www.oldhamathletic.co.uk. Credit cards can be used online.

Online buyers and personal callers can purchase or renew season tickets NOW.

Season tickets are eligible for points under the TeamCard scheme - the club's official loyalty programme. Fans will receive two points for every pound spent.

These points can then be redeemed against merchandise in the Latics Club Shop.

Commenting on the price freeze, chief executive Alan Hardy said:

"The global economic situation is hitting everyone hard, including football supporters everywhere and the clubs they follow.

"We rely greatly on the support we receive from Latics fans everywhere and we are pleased to be able to bring them a price freeze for an unprecedented fourth consecutive season.

"The £70 cashback offer will also secure a further saving for fans should we manage to secure 4,500 season ticket applications.

"Fans can spread the cost of their ticket if necessary by buying online using their credit card or by applying for our Easy Payment Plan.

"The Plan has proved very popular with supporters since its introduction and we expect this to continue this year."

Mr Hardy continued: "Unfortunately the recession has delayed our plans for the redevelopment of Boundary Park, but fans should be reassured that we are pressing ahead to find a solution and improve facilities for fans."
