Nottingham Forest have confirmed season ticket renewal prices for the 2023/24 season, despite not knowing which division the club will spend the season in.
The club have announced the adult season ticket cards will start at £465, with the most expensive capped at £600. It means that prices have increased by around 20 per cent from this season's prices.
Supporters will be able to renew their season tickets online from 10am on Friday, 24 March online. Renewals go on sale over the phone and in person at 10am on Friday 14 April, with fans having until 5pm on Friday 5 May to secure their current seat.

Forest say the increase following "a carefully considered benchmarking process against other Premier League clubs of a comparable size and socio-economic profile."
The club added: “The pricing structure for 2023/24 undercuts the majority of clubs in the top flight, remaining one of the most affordable season cards in the league.”
Forest chairman Nicolas Randall KC explained the pricing decision behind the season tickets.
“We recognise the incredible support that Season Card holders have provided to us since our arrival at the Club in 2017 and that this support was maintained in the difficult times just as much as in the good,” he said.
“It has always been a goal of the owners and Board to maintain ticket prices at affordable levels. I believe that our historic pricing record, which has often involved price reductions, the creation of cheaper tickets for particular categories or the freezing of prices, has reflected this commitment. We have now had the opportunity to conduct our annual pricing review. After detailed consideration of all relevant factors we believe that we have struck the right balance in the proposed pricing structure and a simplification of pricing bands.
“We have tried to focus on delivering value and to ensure that on a price per game basis we fall into the cheapest bands in the Premier League. We are satisfied that these rates are very favourable when considered against our benchmarking exercises and represent good value.”
The cheapest adult ticket will equate to the supporter paying £24.47 per match, should Forest stay in the Premier League. That price will decrease to £20.22 if the Reds are relegated to the Championship, due to there being more home games.
Supporters will be able to spread the payment of the season ticket interest-free over 10 months, as has been the case in previous seasons. Information on renewing hospitality season cards will be released by the club in the future.
