Latics slash ticket prices

ATHLETIC have announced a massive cut in prices for their home game against Leyton Orient on Saturday, December 20.

Advance adult tickets have been set at £10 — but it’s buy one get one free as Athletic seek to win back missing supporters.

Tickets for under-16s and over-65s will be just £2 when bought before the day of the game, and club officials are aiming for a complete sell-out of the 8,000 seats available to home fans.

The offer means a family of four will be able to watch John Sheridan’s promotion-chasing team for only £14.

Admission on the day will be £10 and £5, but the special offer, including buy one get one free, has now been launched at the ticket office.

People who hold vouchers from the recent matches with Scunthorpe and Yeovil are being given preference, but tickets are on open sale from Thursday.
