Kent say members will not need to pre-book or select a designated seat as their 2023 memberships go on sale with early-bird discounts.

Next season, members will be able to attend all matches by producing their membership card, making it easier to sit with other members, friends and family, as they return to pre-Covid undesignated seating.

New in 2023 is their membership referral scheme, offering Kent members £50 cashback, by referring anyone that hasn't been a member in the 2020, 2021 and 2022 seasons to become a club-level member.

A supporters’ network membership is £50, junior membership is £30 (rising to £40 after January 31, 2023), young adult membership for 16-25-year-olds is £110 (rising to £130 after January 31), club country membership is £158 (rising to £198 after January 31), club and friend membership is £399 (rising to £468 after January 31) and the club membership package is £230 (rising to £275 after January 31).

The supporters’ network membership, junior membership and young adult membership packages have been frozen but the club membership package is up £10.

Kent chief executive Simon Storey said: “Our members are the bedrock of the club.

“Whether you’ve supported us for a while, you’re renewing your membership, or you’re joining us for the first time, we sincerely value your support. You’re a huge part of what makes this club so special.

“We want to see continued progress at all levels of the game in Kent and we’re continuing to work hard across the club to grow the income which is required to support our cricketing ambitions. This is at a time when - like all businesses - we’re facing rising costs.

“We’re retaining a strong focus on managing our cost base and continue to look for ways of working more efficiently. Membership is an important part of our income and, in the challenging economic situation, it’s more important than ever to deliver good value.

“Early-bird pricing is designed to reward our loyal members and help minimise the impact of rising costs.”

Kent head coach Matt Walker said: “Whether it’s at our home matches or when travelling to support both the men’s and women’s squads, our members play a significant role in helping us get over the line.

“We’ll be working hard throughout the winter and we look forward to seeing you back next season.”

Kent membership includes entry to all scheduled home games, which include County Championship Division 1 cricket, the group stages of the T20 Blast and One-Day Cup group matches - as Kent look to defend the title they won this summer.

On top of this, members can gain entry to the England Women’s One-Day International against Sri Lanka next September and all Kent and South East Stars Women’s fixtures played at Kent Cricket venues.

Membership also includes benefits, including 10% discount at the club shop, as well as access to the members forums and AGM voting rights.

Kent have extended the benefit of membership to include access to discounted tickets for up to four friends and family per match. Members will continue to enjoy unrestricted access to the Frank Woolley Stand, Chiesman Pavilion Upper Seating and the Underwood & Knott Stand all season.

All valid 2023 Kent members - including Life Members and Century Club Members - will also receive priority access to tickets for international matches at Lord’s. To receive this benefit, renew or purchase your membership before Wednesday, October 26.

Those who also hold a Spitfire Ground car parking pass will be contacted by email directly regarding parking passes for the 2023 season. They will go on sale mid-November when a one-month priority window will be given to those who purchased a ground car parking pass this season.

In 2022, Kent played their home matches at The Spitfire Ground, Canterbury, and Beckenham.
