- Season tickets go on sale from Saturday, January 21, the day we play Chelsea at Carrow Road
- Best possible prices for renewing season tickets before first deadline of February 26, the day we play Manchester United at Carrow Road

With 22,000 fans buying season tickets for the current campaign, Carrow Road has seen more all-seater record-breaking crowds since Paul Lambert's side returned to the Barclays Premier League this year.
Extra seats added to the ground last summer meant that the 26,816 who crammed in to watch the exciting 4-2 win over Newcastle United was a new all-seater stadium record attendance - and the highest since February 1983.
We have had home sell-outs at nearly all of City's home games so far this season and more bumper crowds are expected for forthcoming home games against Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool. The strength and loyalty of City's support, home and away, continues to be a credit to the Yellow Army.
A season ticket remains the only way to guarantee your seat to watch all the action in the 2012-13 campaign.

Everything supporters need to know about how to purchase their 2012-13 season tickets will be detailed in this year's 'We Are Norwich' season ticket presenter, which has been mailed out to every season ticket holder and member.
City Chief Executive David McNally had this message for the Canary faithful:
"The Yellow Army is the envy of many clubs around the country and the way in which you follow your club, home or away, is an important part of what makes Norwich City truly unique.
"Behind the scenes at Carrow Road, we remain committed to doing all we can to support the first team and ensuring we serve our incredible supporters.
"Our business plan is designed to allow continuous improvements at the Football Club, on and off the pitch, and we will continue to do all we can in helping Paul Lambert in his efforts to win football matches whilst we continue to provide good customer service to all supporters.
"We also commit to you that any spare cash raised by the Football Club will be used to strengthen the first team squad and so we are fully focused in growing all commercial areas at Norwich City. Inevitably, prices have increased for next season and yet this still represents great value for money whilst your season ticket remains the most affordable way to watch football at Carrow Road.
"Please also remember that you can spread the cost of your season ticket up to 12 months using our interest-free direct debit scheme.
"We will never underestimate the support and commitment you give to your Football Club. We do hope that you renew your season ticket and take advantage of the best prices available, at the first deadline date of Sunday, February 26.
"The last couple of years have been very successful and great credit should go to Paul, his backroom team and those marvellous players. Now it's time to focus on the future and what happens next, that is what really matters. You truly deserve the best and we will do all we can to ensure we continue to improve the fortunes of your Football Club.
Manager Paul Lambert is in no doubt that the massive home support the Canaries are blessed with has been a huge help to the Club's fortunes on the pitch.
"It's a huge factor, no doubt about it. I think it's intimidating for other teams that come here, it's so noisy and colourful and the fans are right up close to the pitch so you certainly know they are there.
"You get a lot of clichés in football about the fans being the 12th man and so on but I really do believe that here at Norwich they play a big part in it. They help drive the lads on, to get them over that winning line.
"The fact that so many have bought season tickets is incredible and even more incredible is that they were all coming in the difficult years just before we arrived.
"You have to earn the right to play at the higher levels and with a lot of hard work from the lads and the great supporters here I feel we have earned the right to be in the Premier League.
"We know it's a tough, tough task - the toughest - to stay in there come the end of the season but we'll give it a real go, because this is where you want to be.
"I know the fans will be right there with us all the way and that means a lot to all of my staff and the players, it really does."
Season tickets are available for renewal from 9am on Saturday, January 21. You can renew from the Ticket Offices at Carrow Road and The Mall, by calling 0844 826 1902 or online.
