The Wightlink Warriors are to introduce a new price range this season for young adults aged 17 – 20. The deal puts in place a step up entry price from child’s pricing, which is free, to adult pricing at £12.
The Wightlink Warriors want to make it easy for fans to register for Young Adult entry prices. Fans will need to show their photo ID/proof of age and have their photo taken before being issued with a Young Adult pass.
Commercial Director Barry Bishop said:
“In 2016, the crowds attending the Andrew Younie stadium increased week on week and Martin and I firmly believe this was down to our incentive to allow children aged 16 and under in for free, along with the Warrior Way and fun packed speedway nights.
“We want to continue the growth of the club with this success in mind, and after reading some valuable family feedback on the British Speedway Forum about the cost increase from child to adult plus the fact our youth now must be in a form education until they are 18, the Warriors have great pleasure to introduce Young Adult pricing.
“Young Adult pricing will be £7 in 2017 for people aged 17 to 20, which is in line with our student pricing. We know this step will bring more young adults to speedway plus we hope it will offer support to maintain the family unit at speedway nights with a more gradual price increase once children become young adults. We are confident that once our young adult support increases and speedway becomes more and more the place to be on the Island, our fan base will continue its dramatic 2016 growth to ensure its solid fan base for the future.
“Aside from the great offer, the Wightlink Warriors hope this further emphasises to the people of the Isle of Wight and the South Coast that the Wightlink Warriors, our fans, riders, and our sponsors really value the support shown so far to the club and this additional incentive along with ‘Bring My Class’ and ‘Family tickets for community fundraisers’ cements our place as a major community supporter, player and investor.”
