AFC Bournemouth supporters only have a final few hours remaining to renew their season tickets for the upcoming 2024/25 Premier League campaign.
The season ticket renewal window closes at 5 pm on Tuesday 18th June.
If you haven’t done so yet, the process is all online, log into your ticketing account at tickets.afcb.co.uk. The easiest way is to head to the reserved tickets section, where you can add your season ticket and optional women’s matches to your basket. There are various options for payment including buying now or paying in installments.
For a second consecutive season, season ticket prices have been increased under the ownership of Bill Foley, following a period of eight years under the previous ownership of Maxim Demin where prices had been frozen.
The cheapest adult seat, outside of the family section is now £633 in both the North and South Stands, this is up from £594 for the 2023/24 season and £550 for the 2022/23 campaign.
Over this two-year period, the most expensive seats in the executive area have increased from £950 to £1,026 to next season’s prices of £1,093.
In a statement on afcb.co.uk, the club said that “85% of season ticket holders will see an increase of 6.5% for the 2024-2025 season”, however, there is an ongoing price structure change for some supporters.
The club wishes to install “a consistent discount for all concession ticket holders of 20% off adult pricing”, the club adds that “four of our six price zones already receive the 20% concession discount” but East Outer and North/South blocks currently receive a larger discount.
The club explained…
“To address this inconsistency, concession ticket holders in these two price zones will see an increase of 19% over their 23-24 ticket price. While ticket holders in these two price zones will still see a discount of more than 20% on their 2024-25 season ticket, the consistent 20% discount should be achieved by the start of the 25-26 season across all concession price zones.
After consultation with Level Playing Field and the club’s Disabled Supporters’ Association, AFC Bournemouth have also decided to begin a 5-year plan to align a single, consistent disabled discount price.
The statement added…
“Currently, the club’s wheelchair price is an 88% discount off the adult price whilst the ambulant disabled price is 40% off the adult rate. The 40% discount is one of the highest in the Premier League for either wheelchair or ambulant disabled pricing, and the club look to maintain a similar, consistent percentage moving forward to avoid discriminating between supporters within the protected characteristic of disability.
The 2023/24 season also saw the hastily installation of safe standing in the north stand, with season ticket holders getting minimal warning over both its installation and options of moving away from the area.
Season ticket holders currently located in Safe Standing section who want to move out of this area can do this by contacting the ticket office.
All other supporters interested in moving seats can do this during the window of Thursday 20th June and Friday 21st June.

Regardless of the size of the actual increase I welcome the detailed explanation of the ticketing policy and the reasons given for various increases and leveling out of discounts. At least a bit of communication unlike last season’s fiasco with the women’s games added in with no options etc. – To join the conversation, click here.
