The Football Association (FA) has announced that it will reduce ticket prices for all home England matches for the remainder of the 2008-9 season.

England will play their first match this year at Wembley Stadium, London, on 28 March against Slovakia, where tickets will be available for £40 and £30 throughout the venue, a reduction of 25 per cent on last season's prices. There will also be a 60 per cent increase in the number of family enclosure seats on offer at £30 for adults, and £15 for children. Meanwhile members of englandfans, the official supporters' club, will be entitled to a further £5 off adult prices and £2.50 off children's prices.

Prices for the visit of Ukraine in a 2010 FIFA World Cup Qualifier on 1 April have also been reduced, with tickets available from £29 as the FA pass on the reduction in VAT rates. FA chief operating officer, Alex Horne, said: "We want to make watching the national team as affordable as possible – particularly for families – during this difficult economic period."
