Galway United season tickets are showing excellent sales with 240 tickets sold to date with a further 100 Terryland Tigers distributed.

Galway United CEO Nick Leeson believes ticket sales to date show a positive trend.

"We are very happy with the interest in season tickets, particularly in the build-up to Christmas. "Negotiations are ongoing with a number of high-profile premiership clubs to arrange friendly matches both pre-season and during race week.

"I would like to think that we will see at least two Premiership clubs in Galway during 2008. The only way to guarantee access to these matches will be with a Galway United season ticket," he said.

One of the benefits of becoming a season ticket holder is receiving priority access to tickets for high profile matches along with getting full access to Galway United's eircom League of Ireland matches for the 2008 season.

"A lot of people were disappointed last year when unable to see Roy Keane and Sunderland play at Terryland and we expect demand again to be very high for these matches," he added.

Galway United season tickets are currently on sale in Zhivago Records, Shop Street and from the Galway United Office in Terryland Park on 091-767336.
