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.
