There is a lot to look forward to on the pitch next season. The team will be playing to win the all-important Aviva Premiership and there will be the return of Heineken Cup rugby to Kingsholm which will see the top clubs in Europe battling for the prestigious title. Bryan Redpath and his team will also be defending their LV=Cup champions title against a host of Welsh regional sides and English clubs.
For the first time existing season ticket holders will be given a loyalty discount when renewing their memberships for the forthcoming season. Lapsed season ticket holders, who have not renewed within the last three years, will be encouraged to re-join with a returners discount.
Price continues to be a determining factor when purchasing a season ticket. This has been the key driver in introducing a 'Price Buster' season ticket, with a limited number of tickets available in the flanks of the C&G Stand from just £200 for adults. The price of a West Terrace season ticket has been reduced in line with our match day offering to offer supporters an affordable basic entry ticket on the uncovered terrace.
Season tickets for kids remain great value enabling families to enjoy an affordable and great day out in all areas of the stadium as well as membership of the Gloucester Crew.
As well as making a financial saving season ticket holders will receive additional benefits, in the form of priority booking and discounted tickets for additional matches such as England Saxons vs. Tonga in the Churchill Cup on Sunday, 12th June at Kingsholm.
The 2011-12 Season ticket package includes 11 Aviva Premiership matches, 3 Heineken Cup and 2 LV=Cup pool matches. Priority booking is guaranteed on all home and away matches including quarter finals, semi-finals and finals. The season ticket package also gives members free entry into Gloucester Rugby's pre-season matches and A-league matches played at Kingsholm and Hartpury.

Gloucester Rugby's Managing Director Ken Nottage explained that the club had taken into consideration the tough economic conditions when putting the packages together.
"We recognise that season ticket holders are key to the sustainability of a top flight club, we also appreciate that the economy is still fragile and that purchasing a season ticket is a big decision and an investment for many."
"With this in mind we have ensured that families receive great value for money by guaranteeing that our children's tickets are one of the cheapest in the premiership as is our entry level ticket for adults."
"Furthermore we have introduced a 'Price Buster' season ticket which enables people to purchase a seat from £200. The package also rewards existing season ticket holders with a loyalty discount for those supporters who continue to renew their memberships with loyalty being something we intend to build on in the future."
