It’s tied in with school year isn’t it? So what ever age you are on 31st August counts I believe.

If 17 at the time of purchase, I would say you'd be OK with a junior ticket
GTFC will have her D.O.B. on her/your account, so looks like she will have to buy 18+ season ticket.

Genuinely, the club wouldn’t give me my son’s 4-17 accompanied ticket until I brought in his passport! I had to go home and get it. I think this was last season, or maybe the one before - probably the latter, as we were newbies.

It's definitely more stringent now than 20 years ago , me and my mates were getting young adult season tickets at 25/26 back in the day for Champ football - looking back it was certainly good value.

It all sounds like a 'grey' area reading the above.
The essence of the contract, to buy the ticket, depends on the date you buy it.
If your daughter gives her DOB as under 18 on the date you buy the ticket then she gets 17 year old price. All details to make the contract are correct and nobody has been misled.
It is the same principle in reverse as buying an adult ticket when you are 64 years old, but 65 when the season starts. Buy it when you are 64 years old then you pay the 64-year-old rice with no refund on your birthday. If you wait till you are 65 then you would pay the pensioner rate, which would be less.

So wong... I was 64 when I purchased my season ticket a few years ago, but because I was 65 before the first game of the season the ticket office only charged me 65+ price not adult. Also for example if you are 65 half way through the season the ticket office will work out a price so you pay adult until your birthday and 65+ after it. The ticket office will ask for id to prove you eligibility for any concession ticket you buy.

I'm 65 in August and I never even considered whether I was yet eligible for a discounted ticket this season. The first game sometimes falls on my birthday.

Hagrid, don’t wish your life away as the only true thing said to you as a child is that “ the older you get the quicker it goes”. Nearing 70 now and it flies by wish the clock could go back so my 17 year old could see BP on those nights 22000+ were packed in, Norwich, Exeter and Everton and that final game in 81 v Sheffield United. Unfortunately the younger fans have not had such momentous success to celebrate but you have plenty of time to see our fortunes swing back the other way. Enjoy your here and now and look forward to a bright future and leave us old buggers to live in the past and remember those glorious seasons.
