Wolverhampton Wanderers have made a u turn on ticket price rises for under-14s and agreed to freeze the cost of adult season tickets too

It's after a backlash by fans.

The club announced a series of price increases for the new season, with some tickets up 17% and under-14s tickets up from £105 to £290.

In a statement on the club website it said..

Wolves representatives met with the club’s Fan Advisory Board on Tuesday 4th June to discuss the 2024/25 and 2025/26 season ticket prices.

Parties discussed a number of topics relating to the prices, including the communication and consultation around pricing, supporter feedback, and the support of junior fans in particular, which led to an agreement on how to progress.

The following has been agreed and will be communicated directly to season ticket holders via email:

A guaranteed freeze on adult season ticket prices for the 2025/26 season.

No price increase for under-14s for the 2024/25 season.

The pricing strategy and structure of junior season tickets will be reviewed for the 2025/2026 season, in consultation with the FAB.

Wolves deeply value the feedback from our supporters and the role the Fan Advisory Board plays in representing their voices.

We are committed to ensuring open communication and collaboration as we strive to achieve success on and off the pitch and we believe our dialogue reflects our dedication to maintaining a strong, competitive and united Wolves family.

We thank the Fan Advisory Board for their time, energy and commitment to our discussions and look forward to our ongoing relationship, as we work with them closely to continue to represent the fans’ voice in our club’s future.

Fan forums have welcomed the news

The U-turn comes after Wolves said price rises were necessary to raise funds so the club could stay competitive in the Premier League.
