Relegated Dartford will let children in for free next season after announcing their season-ticket prices.
The Darts are keen to improve the atmosphere at Princes Park as they begin life in Isthmian Premier under manager Ady Pennock.
After introducing a membership scheme for young fans previously, the Darts are now offering free season tickets for under-12s and children aged 13-16 can also watch Dartford for free if they get their season ticket before the end of June.
The club's early-bird prices also represent savings of a third on the season for adults, with season tickets priced £210 if purchases before June 2, and £250 thereafter.
A statement from the Darts said: "These (early bird) prices mean that with a season ticket you will receive a 33.33% discount on the price at the turnstile. Also look out for the re-introduction of a limited number of 10 year season tickets and 5 year 1888 Club membership.
"We have introduced a youth season ticket for 13-16 year olds at no cost - yes, free of charge. The same for our Junior Darts this season - 5-12 year olds need to be accompanied by an adult, but free of charge for the kids.
"These do of course need to be applied for in the early bird period, although for the youth and child ones the early bird offer extends until June 30."
Dartford have also relaxed their ruling on allowing alcoholic drinks on the terraces for next season.
"Another introduction for next season is allowing drink on the terraces which will start from the first league game," the club added.
"Many have been asking for this for a while and we have decided to trial the idea.
"This includes the re-opening of the bar on the terrace at the car park end of the ground which will be named the Darts Bar. This bar will be for the exclusive use of our season ticket holders, another great benefit.
"There will be other changes to the matchday experience which we will be announced over the close season."
