Capital Credit Union, the Edinburgh-based savings and loans group, has teamed up with a ticketing platform to make it easier for football fans to buy and renew their season tickets.

CCU’s Fan Finance season ticket loans are being offered through the Future Ticketing platform. Loans can be agreed on flexible repayment terms with no application fee.

Clubs can review and track loan payments directly within the Future Ticketing dashboard, giving them a clear view of supporter activity.

It is designed as a cooperative-led solution to build loyalty and ease affordability for fans.

Liam Holton, CEO of Future Ticketing, said: “Football is at the heart of communities, and for many supporters, a season ticket is far more than a purchase, it’s a commitment to their club, their family, and their identity.

“At a time when household budgets are under real pressure, clubs need ways to keep that connection strong and make attending matches more affordable and accessible.

“By integrating Fair Fan Finance directly into our platform, we’re helping clubs remove barriers for supporters and ensuring more fans can continue backing their team week in, week out.”

Samantha Homer, CEO of Capital Credit Union, said: “In the current cost-of-living climate, we know many supporters are under increased financial pressure, and football must remain accessible to the communities it serves. 

“CCU Fair Fan Finance allows fans to spread the cost of their season tickets in a fair and manageable way, helping them continue to support their club without added strain. 

“Our integration with Future Ticketing creates a seamless, fully embedded experience for both fans and clubs, making it simple to access fair finance while giving clubs a strong way to support their fan base.”

Future Ticketing and CCU work with Arbroath, Dundee, Dunfermline Athletic, Ross County, St Johnstone and St Mirren.
