2025-26 Season Tickets go on sale from tomorrow

Season Tickets for the 2025-26 campaign will go on sale from 10am tomorrow morning.

After a year of progress on the pitch under Head Coach David Artell, we enter the final weeks of the season in the play-offs and are close to achieving our best finish in League Two for a generation!

Since the summer, no fewer than 13 new faces have arrived at Blundell Park, including some eye-catching international signings. These additions, along with Artell’s developmental approach, have transformed the Mariners into a team capable of beating anyone in League Two, as we have seen many times this season.

However, the Club continues to make a substantial loss. This is due to increased investment in the playing squad, essential ground improvements and the general inflationary environment. The Club’s operating costs have increased by an average of 12% p.a. over the last three years.

Whilst these losses are currently being underwritten by 1878 Partners Limited, the Club has had to make the difficult decision to ask fans to contribute by increasing the price of season tickets for the 25-26 campaign for the first time in 2 years. The price of individual matchday tickets will also increase. The new prices will remain the same regardless of whether we’re in League One or League Two for the 2025-26 campaign.

A season ticket remains the most cost-effective way to watch the Mariners if purchased during April or May 2025 at the Early Bird rate, compared to buying individual matchday tickets. Season tickets are the only way to guarantee your chosen seat for you and your friends and family for every home game of next season.

In addition to securing your seat at Blundell Park, season ticket holders will also receive the following benefits:

10% discount from the Club Shop both online and in-store for the 2025-26 season until 30 th May 2026

May 2026 £10 off a replica home shirt valid until 31 st July 2025

July 2025 Priority access to purchase cup matches, play off matches and away tickets

Current season ticket holders will have until 4pm on Friday 30th May 2025 to retain their seat for next season. Following which, all those held in overflow areas will be allocated the best seats available for the areas requested. Any other seats that have not been purchased will then become available from Monday 9th June on a first come, first serve basis.

Supporters will also note that we have simplified the pricing structure by reducing the number of categories and moved to more standard discount levels for concessions. The previous categories had become complicated, and in some cases were inconsistent.

Changes include:

OAP 65+ and OAP 75+ have been combined into OAP 66+

Unaccompanied Junior and Junior Accompanied have been combined into U18

As part of the restructuring, the price of an Unaccompanied Junior season ticket will reduce for the 2025-26 season. This is intended to help retain a key age group as fans of the Club.

Children aged 13 and under must still be accompanied by an adult. Disabled Carers and children under the age of three remain free of charge.

Details of a revised 1878 Club membership will be announced in the summer which will offer fans access to discounted individual match tickets and other exclusive offers.

Operational Updates

In 2025-26, all concessionary season ticket holders will be required to prove D.O.B. upon collection of their season ticket. Once entered, supporters will not have the ability to change this.

Once the season starts, a £10 processing charge will be applied for any season ticket seat moves.

Spot checks will be conducted on turnstiles to ensure supporters hold the correct ticket.
