YORK RLFC  season ticket prices will rise for the first time in five years ahead of the upcoming 2025 campaign.

The cost of a season ticket will increase by five per cent, the first price rise since 2020, due to rising costs and a reduction in central funding.

Matchday admission prices will also increase by £2, with General Admission now £22 and Concessions (17-21 and Over 65) priced at £17.

Under 16s will continue to receive free General Admission entry across the season, a policy the club will continue into a ninth year.

Season tickets will go on sale from 12pm on Thursday, November 7, with supporters again able to choose from General Admission tickets as well as three hospitality options – Premier Club, Vice-Presidents and Presidents.

Tickets will guarantee entry to all of York Knights’ home Betfred Championship matches and York Valkyrie’s Betfred Women’s Super League fixtures.

A club record of over 1,200 season tickets were sold ahead of the 2024 season, which saw Mark Applegarth lead the Knights to the Championship play-off semi-final and a highest league finish since 2019, and Lindsay Anfield make more history as the Valkyrie became the first team to win back-to-back BWSL titles.

Season ticket payments can be split over three months when purchasing any of the four options, which should be discussed with club staff upon purchase.
