BLACKBURN Rovers have reported opening day season ticket sales were more than double than what they were last year.

Adult and junior supporters can enjoy the equivalent of 11 and 16 matches respectively for free next season by taking advantage of offers announced by the club yesterday.

And that resulted in positive sales figures on the first day since 2016-17 season ticket details were released.

Next season there will be 16,000 seats priced at £13 per game or less with 8,000 seats reduced in price in the Jack Walker Stand.

The Family Stand has been relocated from the Blackburn Road upper tier to the Jack Walker Stand lower tier.

And almost 50 per cent of opening day season ticket sales came in the new Family Stand.

Full season ticket prices: RFS Riverside Stand – £279 adults, £179 concessions, £60 juniors; Blackburn End – £299 adults, £199 concessions, £60 juniors; Darwen End – £299 adults, £199 concessions, £60 juniors; Jack Walker Family Stand – £299 adults, £199 concessions, £60 juniors, FREE under-8s; Jack Walker Stand lower tier – £299 adults, £199 concessions, £60 juniors; Jack Walker Stand upper tier outer – £349 adults, £199 concessions, £60 juniors; Jack Walker Stand upper tier centre – £399 adults, £279 concessions, £75 juniors.
