BURNLEY fans aiming to sit in the upper tier of the new North Stand next season will have to pay the top prices at Turf Moor, apart from vice-presidents and 100 Club members.

Adult season-ticket prices for existing seats show a slight increase, while the club have pitched prices for the new stands at varying levels.

But the upper tier of the North Stand is the costliest by far, with a matchday admission charge of £14 and season tickets priced £266 standard (£238 if purchased by the discount date of June 8).

In the lower tier, the adult matchday admission is £12, the same as the Bob Lord Stand. An adult season ticket is £228 (discount price £204).

And in the lower level of the East Stand, currently being constructed, matchday admission will be just £9 for adults.

But that is the one area of the ground where there will not be any concessionary prices.

Elsewhere, the club are offering generous reductions for under-16s and over-65s.

The upper tier of the East Stand has been designated as a family area.

Vice presidents find their prices increased by £25 to £875 (£775) and 100 Club members will pay £50 more than last season at £650 (£550). Season tickets admit holders to all home League games and Pontin's League matches at Turf Moor.

They can be booked at the ticket office from Friday, May 17, with the discount day cut-off being June 8.

Application forms for the Endsleigh instalment plan are also available.

Existing Bob Lord season-ticket holders requiring their own seat must purchase their season ticket one week prior to the discount date, no later than June 1. After that the seat may be allocated elsewhere.

Age limit for juveniles is under 16 at the time of purchase and proof may be required. Senior citizens (over 65) must provide proof of eligibility.

As well as being designated a family area, restricted to family adults, juveniles and senior citizens, the East Stand upper tier will be a no-smoking area.

Concessionary season tickets for under-16s and over-65s are available there at the lowest prices of £86 (£76).

Visiting fans will occupy the Endsleigh Stand.
