Sheffield Wednesday have launched a one-of-a-kind 10-year season ticket which will cost up to £6,400.  

What sets this ticket option apart is that in purchasing a 10-year ticket, fans will be guaranteed at least 15 years, with the club ensuring a minimum of five free additional seasons depending on promotion to the Premier League

If the Championship club win promotion in 2019-20, the ticket will be valid through until the end of the 2034-35 campaign.

In their statement, the Championship club wrote: 'Incredible savings are on offer, with every supporter signing up freezing their Season Ticket price at 2020/21 Early Bird rate for a full 10 years.

'But that's not all! Whilst Wednesday are outside the top flight, the 10 years will not commence until the club reaches the Premier League, be that at the climax of this or any future campaign.

'So, if the Owls are promoted in 12 years' time for example, 10-Year Season Ticket holders will have accumulated 12 seasons before the 10-year package has even commenced.'

There are a limited number of 10-year season tickets available - given the potential to hand out a number of years for free if they fail to reach the top flight - and the 'unique' offer is set to be snapped up by lifelong supporters. 

The 10-year countdown does not commence until the club reach the Premier League

Reasoning behind the scheme admits the Owls are prepared for a 'loss of revenue' given the financial implications if they take years to win promotion.  

The scheme will begin from the 2020-21 season and while payment is taken upfront, the 10 years do not start counting down until the club are in the Premier League.   

The club have also described the ticket as an 'investment opportunity' as supporters are able to sell their ticket back to the club for a respective year.

While in the Championship, the club will pay a tenth of the price back to fans for that single season if it is sold back. So for the £4,550 ticket, Sheffield Wednesday would pay £455 for that ticket for one season.  

Garry Monk's side are currently sixth in the Championship table, 10 points adrift of the two automatic promotion places. 

HOW DO BONUS YEARS WORK? 

Promoted in 2019-20 – five extra seasons (15 from promotion to the Premier League)

Promoted in 2020-21 – four extra seasons (14 from promotion to the Premier League, one in Championship)

Promoted in 2021-22 – three extra seasons (13 from promotion to the Premier League, two in Championship)

Promoted in 2022-23 - two extra seasons (12 from promotion to the Premier League, three in Championship)

Promoted in 2023-24 - one extra season (11 from promotion to the Premier League, four in Championship))

 

Bonus years are additional to seasons prior to promotion already included in the price and no further fees are required, according to the club
