News that Hartlepool United have frozen season ticket prices for 2026/27 has been like music to the ears of supporters.

Owner Landon Smith announced the decision on Thursday, saying it came as a recognition of the ‘loyalty’ shown by the club’s fanbase. “Our supporters are the foundation of this club, and freezing season ticket prices for the 2026/27 campaign was an important decision for us. Pools fans are special. They live and breathe this club, and the loyalty we see from them deserves to be recognised,” he said.

“We want to ensure that following Hartlepool United remains accessible for as many people as possible. When the stadium is full and driving the team on, it creates a real connection between the players and the supporters. That energy is a powerful part of who we are, and it has a big role to play in where we want to go. “We are clear about our ambition. We want to move this club forward and do it in a way that is sustainable for the long term. We need our supporters with us. Their voice, their passion and their belief will be key to what comes next. That is the standard we are setting, and this is part of delivering it.”

It’s hoped the decision to freeze ticket prices for next season will result in a bump in attendance at Victoria Park. Pools have attracted an average crowd of 3,771 in the National League this season (per Transfermarkt), which is a very minor increase from last season, but down over 200 from two years ago, and over 1,000 from the 2022/23 campaign, when they were in League Two.
