Coventry City fans willing to travel to Northampton can finally purchase season tickets - just two weeks before the new campaign.
Prices have fallen by almost £140 on last year with Sky Blues chiefs claiming they recognised the inconvenience fans faced when travelling to the Sixfields stadium.
A standard zone season ticket will cost £207 for adults, £138 for concessions - over 60s and 16 to 21-year-olds - £46 for JSBs and £23 for under sevens. A 'premium' zone ticket will set fans back £253 while a seat in the family zone will cost £184.
They can only be bought online although the club said fans would be kept informed when other methods were available.
Last year a standard season ticket cost up to £345 with premium prices hitting nearly £400.
Travel information to the Northampton stadium - a 70-mile round trip from the city - has not yet been made available.
City's first home game is against Bristol City on Sunday, August 11. The fixture was moved by the Football League to avoid a clash with League Two Northampton's clash with Newport County.
Dan Walker, ticketing manager, said: “We understand that travelling to Northampton for home games will cause inconvenience for many fans so we have reduced Season Ticket prices as far as we can in order to recognise this and help supporters.
“An adult and child can attend every home match for as little as £8 per match in the Family Zone, with JSBs under seven going free.
“We are working hard to provide more information on travel packages and more methods of sale as quickly as we can but wanted to make sure Season Tickets were available as early as possible.”
