OAP concession conflict 60+ verse 65+
 

As I understand the rules on OAP concession’s age it has been left to the individual clubs to decide what age the concession’s should start some are 60+ and some like ours is now 65+
Looking at ticket prices for the home match against Plymouth on the 22nd Dec.
I see that the Plymouth away supporters who are 60+ can purchase concession ticket.
Stanley home supporters have to be 65+ before they can purchase a concessionary ticket.
Is this legal,

since posting I have looked at the Plymouth web page and see there concessions are 65+
so the 60+ shown on the link given below is obviously an error

Stanleys was 60, been altered in recent years to 65.

Should go with the bus pass / womens pension age really, currently about 61 and a quarter - but I would say that as I've just got my pass :)

Just occurred to me, is a womans season ticket also 65?:confused: That certainly should not be the case, in my view.

They wanted equal rights, leave em to it :D

Re: OAP concession conflict 60+ verse 65+
 

Yes Dave, but when are we getting equal rights for men i.e. lowering our pension age instead of increasing it, instant jobless total reduction and country back on its feet. Pah!!!

State pension age will be 67 by 2026, and 68 not long afterwards! :(

I was surprised when I went to the Stanley versus Gillingham match on 24th November that I had to pay the full £17 - I'm 63. I hadn't been for a while and seemed to remember that it was previously £13 with a concessionary rate of £10 for the over 60s. Anyway, it said in big letters "Over 65" so I was honest and paid the full rate. I think that any concessions should be matched to the current women's state retirement age - that's what happens for bus passes, winter fuel allowance, etc. Eventually it will all level out at 65 and then will begin to rise for everyone.
