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 Accrington Ticket Details Last edited by accybeme; 06-12-2012 at 12:43. |

Re: OAP concession conflict 60+ verse 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

Re: OAP concession conflict 60+ verse 65+
Just occurred to me, is a womans season ticket also 65?
 That certainly should not be the case, in my view.

Re: OAP concession conflict 60+ verse 65+
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.
