Hi everyone, I sent the lad for three tickets for the Saints cup clash, one for me 60+, one lad working twenty odd, youngest student.

I expected a concession for the student, which I got, and for me, but the girl in the Hull shop, told him Saints concessions were for 65year and up, and advised him, to pay for a full price ticket for me, as I am not 65, wondered what the policy is on ticket pricing for 60 to 65 year olds, it seems pretty petty if Saints are using this ruling.

Why should someone aged 60-65 get a concession and pay less than someone aged 18-59?

Individual clubs can set their own age brackets, there is no standard. My eldest who's 22 can get a young adult ticket at some grounds and not others so he prepares to pay full price at all and if he can get in as a young adult then all the better.

After a quick search:

St Helens - 65
Wigan Warriors - 60
Warrington Wolves - 65
Hull FC - 60
Castleford Tigers - 60
Leeds Rhinos - 65
Wakefield Trinity - No info found
Huddersfield Giants - 65
Salford Red Devils - No info found
Catalans Dragons - No info found
Hull KR - 65
Widnes Vikings - 65

Well I don’t know why, but they do, so hard cheese.
Just not at Saints

Given the huge generational income divide happening these days you should be paying more than everyone else soon not less

well done Karen!

Must be an error regarding such a great community club as the dobbins sticking it to the old uns.

Hasn't the wealth from the great, [iNorthern Powerhouse[/i project filtered down to you yet?

Thought not.

Rainwater, I hope?

there's still a significant level of fraud with respect to age related concessions at sporting events, Hull City experienced this and had a big run in with fans over it recently.

Personally I don't think there should be an 'oap' concession at all, for the junior/student, yes. Also there should be no oap concession for season tickets/full memberships if indeed there is one.
However I understand why clubs still offer it, too fearful that removal will lose fans, frankly if a couple of quid will stop some fans from attending (which it does in RL circles a lot from what I've read over the years including a reason for opposition fans not to come to our ground) then that is really more down to other things as opposed to affordability.

'pensioners' get far too many freebies/concessions as it is, the old pony trotted out 'well we put into the pot for xx years so we deserve xxx' is a nonsense, didn't pay anywhere near enough.
