THE Sky Blues have slashed midweek ticket prices in order to get more bums on seats at the Ricoh Arena.
After consulting supporters the club have come up with a new `Tuesday Night Football' price which will see adults paying just £18 in the vast majority of the stadium * a saving of £4 on the price for weekend matches.
As well as that, prices for all matchday tickets will now remain the same whether bought in advance or on the day of the game and booking fees have also been removed from all ticket purchases.
Dan Walker, ticketing manager for Coventry City, said the changes had been made to encourage more `walk-up' supporters and to increase attendance to evening games.
“We have spoken to a number of supporters and found the two most commonly mentioned problems with booking tickets were booking fees and having a different price on match day,“ he said.
“We hope by removing these factors, that it will give fans more freedom with regards to when, where and how they buy tickets to come to a game at the Ricoh.
“Also, when you look at recent seasons, evening games have not been as well attended as weekend matches.
“So we have released a new price for all our Tuesday night league games throughout the season which we hope will tempt more supporters to come to those matches and reward those who already do.“
The new Tuesday Night Football price will apply for the Sky Blues first home game of the season against Sheffield United on Tuesday, August 21.
