June 29 2008
Tranmere have now confirmed ticket prices for their three home pre-season games in July and August with special offers surrounding the game against Liverpool in just under two weeks time. Details of prices for the other friendlies against Bolton and Blackpool have also been confirmed.
Tranmere have today confirmed the prices for the three home pre-season games to take place at Prenton Park in July and August including the tie against Liverpool in two weeks time on Saturday 12th July.
The most notable thing about the prices is the special offer for Juniors attending the Liverpool game. Any Junior who buys a ticket for the game against Liverpool will get admission to Rovers' first home League game against Hartlepool United on Saturday August 16th for just £1.00 upon production of their ticket stub from the Liverpool game.
Benitez Brings his Side to Prenton Park
The offer, which basically allows anyone under the age of 16 to watch Tranmere take on both Liverpool AND Hartlepool for a total of just £6.00 is designed to make people who may be attending Prenton Park for the first time for the Liverpool game, come back again a few weeks later to support the Whites again in the all important early League games.
Speaking to the Official Tranmere Rovers Website, Chief Executive Mick Horton said.......
"We realise that there will be some supporters at this match who have never been to Prenton Park before or have not been for some time. We want them to come back and hope the special offer for juniors will encourage them to come and support us in our first home game of the season against Hartlepool.
"We always pride ourselves on being the best value for money family club in the area and were delighted with the recent results from the Football League Supporters Survey which showed our supporters rank our ticket prices and ticket offers as the best in League One.
"We hope this offer shows our continued commitment to making football accessible for all ages."

GRAVY
Most of the tickets that gone already have apparently gone to Liverpool fans which is good for the Club to get money but still not right really.
is it All ticket or pay on gate too?
i can't be arsed with little birkenhead rats jumpin up sat next to me in their candy liverpool tops they've borrowed off their grandad!
If we weren't strapped for cash i'd be very p133ed about that, along with our 3 new kits a season rule...
As if i'm not skint enough with this country going down the fkin pan. Inflation, fuel prices etc... arrgh i'm losing the plot!!
However, as Matt says this game is a meaningless friendly but IS a great financial boost to the Club and the money should be welcomed no matter who it's from.
