YOU published a letter last week from someone complaining about price increases at Bury FC.
Unfortunately the whole thing was nonsense.
We need to put things right, because this letter was misleading at best and very damaging at worst.
Here are the actual match day prices at the football club:
Main Stand (ADULT) last season cost £15.
This season it is £16 (if purchased anytime prior to noon on the day of game and £18 if purchased after this time on day of game)
East Stand (ADULT) last season cost £13. This season it is £14 (if purchased anytime prior to noon on day of game and £16 if purchased after this time on day of game)
JUNIOR TICKET last season cost £5. This season it is £7 (if purchased before noon on day of game and £9 if purchased after this time)
Bury FC also offers an ADULT FLEXI TICKET for £145 containing TEN tickets which can be used at any games. This equates to only £14.50p per game, which is a 50p REDUCTION on last seasons prices.
Your readers could easily be put off visiting Gigg Lane if they believed the figures you printed on your letters page.
