Hi Bax perhaps you can answer this I notice both Wycombe and Notts County make their senior tickets available to 60 + whilst we don't classify anybody as a senior until 65 is there a league policy re the age one qualifies as a senior and is the club penny pinching again.   Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

Our 60 to 65 year-olds were charged the full price price whilst their's were only paying the concessionary price. So this is nothing new. Presumably Grimsby and Cleethorpes have more than their share of wealthy OAP's.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

Especially in more prosperous areas where people live longer (and have to work longer in order to earn a pension). Through the door there came familiar laughter, I saw your face and heard you call my name. Oh my friend we're older but no wiser, For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

Coke Drinker Posts: 44 Posts Per Day: 0.01 Approval: +75	A quick google search for football league ticket rules brings their conditions of issue which make no specific mention of ages for any concession. I assume that makes it a per club decision based on how they define 'senior'. Just google 'senior ticket prices football games' and the majority of the clubs on the first page class senior as 65+ so I may suggest that the club are in the majority here.
