STEVENAGE Borough will open its online ticket service on www.theboroshop.com this weekend ahead of the FA Trophy Final against Barrow on Saturday, May 8.

The service was launched for last season's Trophy final and was a huge success and the club has reduced the online booking fee by 50 per cent to �1 per ticket this year to encourage more supporters to book online.

Ticket prices have been set by the FA at �30 for adults and �15 for under-16s. Stevenage will be issued with 15,769 tickets and Barrow 15,040.

Stevenage chairman Phil Wallace said: "We're looking to open the online booking system this weekend so people can reserve tickets and coach travel. We won't allocate or send out any online tickets until April 20 to ensure that season ticket holders, staff and SA members get first choice but people can start ordering online from this weekend.

"The ticket price is the same whether the seats are behind the goal or along the touchline, so we'll select tickets by choice on a first come, first served basis.

"We've said that we want to help our fans get to the game as cheaply as possible. For this reason we've reserved 40 coaches and will subsidise the overall cost by taking any Stevenage fan to Wembley and back on the day for a fiver.

"The �5 return coach option will be on the online booking system and we'll also start selling the coach tickets with Wembley tickets when we go on sale."

Tickets will go on sale at The Lamex Stadium ticket office as follows:

Thursday, April 15: Season ticket holders and staff only, 4-7pm.

Friday, April 16: As above, SA members, Flexi ticket holders, Academy Youth, 4-7pm.

Sunday, April 18: General Public 11am - 3pm.

There after the Ticket Office will be open from Monday to Friday from 4pm to 7pm to personal callers.

Block bookings (over 20 tickets) can also be reserved by emailing jenniec@stevenageborofc.com
