City Aim For Barnsley Bonanza
Leicester City are hoping to kick-off a busy festive period at the Walkers Stadium with a sell-out crowd against newly-promoted Barnsley on Saturday, December 16 (3pm).
For their Christmas Community Fixture, the club have resurrected the original Fans Fixture concept.
Ticket prices for the Championship clash will start at just £1 for under-16s, £5 for over-16s tickets purchased by season-ticket holders and £10 for non season-ticket holders - the same prices used in 2002.
A club spokesman said: "This game sees the start of our critical Christmas campaign, with three home games in just over two weeks and we felt it appropriate to use this game to launch our first real Fans Fixture for four years.
"We are quite clear in our aims - we are looking for the game to be a complete sell out well in advance and we are advising City fans everywhere to purchase their tickets as quickly as possible to avoid disappointment.
"Fans Fixture prices were factored into our season-ticket prices this season so our season-ticket holders are not disadvantaged by these costs.
"We are keen to give Rob Kelly and his squad all the support possible.
"That Saturday is likely to be the busiest shopping day of the year.
"Personally, I can't think of a better alternative to fighting your way through the Christmas queues."
City will be looking to kick-off the festivities with an abundance of activities before the game and at half-time, including carol singers, a special appearance from Santa Claus as well as the delivery of some surprise Christmas presents for several lucky children in the club's family area.
Tickets go on general sale from Saturday (November 18) and can be purchased on line using the club's e-ticketing facility, in person at the main Ticket Office, by e-mail at ticket.sales@lcfc.co.uk or by telephone on 0870 499 1884.
And if everything goes to plan this will be the day after Milan takes over, could be partay time! ;D
