THE cost of matchday tickets at the Reebok to watch Wanderers this season will again depend on the quality of the opposition.

Games against Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City will cost fans between £30 and £38, depending on the seating area in the stadium.

This compares with last season's admission charges for the same category of between £27 and and £34.

But to watch games against the Premiership 'lower lights' such as Portsmouth, Norwich, and Crystal Palace for example, will cost from £21 to £29, compared with last season's pricing of between £19 and £26.

The club, however, are stressing that their membership scheme offers further savings for regular supporters.

The cost of joining the scheme has been frozen at £30 adults, £20 senior citizens and students, and membership not only gives a priority access to home match tickets, but means that tickets to all Premiership games can be bought by members at the Category C price.

For example, a £35 ticket in the East or West Lower stand for a Category A+ game can be bought for £25 by members, while tickets for Category A games costing £32 can also be bought at £25.

Membership also gives free entry to all home reserve team games, and priority access to tickets for Wanderers Premiership home games. This, however, is based on the following order of priority, where possible.

1 Holders of both Lifeline membership and Club Membership.

2 Holders of Lifeline or Club membership.

3 Open sale.

Gareth Moores, Wanderers' Commercial Director said: "We believe we have offered our supporters a superb package of benefits through the Club Membership scheme. Demand for tickets will be at an all-time high and the only way of being at the front of the queue when tickets go on sale for high-profile games is to become a club member.

"Members buying tickets in the lower tier of the East or West stands can recoup the cost of their membership fee by attending three of the high-profile games, and two of those, against United and Liverpool, come in the first few weeks of the season."

Of the match categories, there have been some changes.

Champions Arsenal are now bracketed with local rivals Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool as A+ games, while big-spending Chelsea move up from being a Category B match into Category A. There are seven Category C clubs, including promoted sides, Crystal Palace and Norwich City, but West Brom are a category B side.

Family tickets are from £26 to £42 for one adult and one child, and from £52 to £84 for two adults, two children.
