Bold move: thousands of fans of PL newcomers get free season tickets | OneFootball

Since yesterday, the first team to be promoted to the Premier League this year has been confirmed. After a quarter of a century, Coventry City, coached by Frank Lampard, is returning to England’s top flight. 

For thousands of particularly loyal fans, that now means they will be able to watch live Premier League football at the stadium for free in the 2026/27 season. 

According to British newspaper ‘The Sun’, there was a so-called “Premier League package”.

The club offered it for season tickets in 2023, and it included frozen ticket prices for five years, linked to a promise: if Coventry were promoted within those five seasons, buyers would receive a free Premier League season ticket. 

Fans who bought it a few years ago for around £500 will therefore get a free season ticket for the coming campaign. 

Coventry fans reacted enthusiastically on social media to the free season tickets.

Comments such as “I’ve always liked a bit of a gamble” or “This is a great example of loyal fans being rewarded – football just feels better when clubs give something back like this” could be read on ‘X’.
