THE Clarets have announced a price freeze on ‘early bird’ season ticket prices for 2014/15, whatever happens this season.

Burnley, who are second in the Championship and just two points off leaders QPR, are well placed for a promotion push with just over half of the campaign to go.

The club has also introduced a 12-month rolling direct debit scheme for the first time in an effort to spread the cost of supporters’ football fix, from £30 a month.

The price freeze for next season applies to ‘early bird’ tickets in all stands and for all age categories, meaning the cheapest adult seat is £299.

The ‘early bird’ offer expires on March 31, 2014.
