JUNIOR SEASON TICKET PRICE

Morning, I was wondering if someone could help. My daughter had a junior unaccompanied season ticket last year and wants to renew this year. She turns 18 at the beginning of the season but will be 17 at the time of renewing. My question is can she renew at the junior price ?

Well... she is still a junior at the time of purchase, that's what counts in my opinion.  Can always ring the shop, but I would be shocked if they said different.

If it helps, my lad was 18 in the June, so you'll have to purchase the 17-21 season ticket for her.

Looks like its 14 to 17 and then 18 to 22 according to this?

Let's be realistic. Don't answer the question but how are your finances? If they're like alot of us then I'd get the junior ST 1 last time. If you're OK then I'd get the 18-22. Either way you're not technically doing anything wrong

Just a thought though.. say she gets the 17yrs one and decides she wants an alcoholic beverage. Do they ever ask to check your tickets?

Thanks guys, I don't think she will be buying alcohol at half time or anything, and like you said she's technically still 17yrs at the time of purchase

You are correct, just checked his season ticket from last year.

I didn't know what it was to be honest, just had a look abit ago.

If 17 at the time of purchase, I would say you'd be OK with a junior ticket

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

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.

It’s a hell of a price jump between the two

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.

Only the best are born in August Ginny, unfortunately I'm a long way off the 65 and Over Category

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.

Know the feeling seems to fly by I remember being stood in that corner between the Pontoon & Main Stand as a kid  through the 80's with a bag of wine gums ,cup of bovril and my uncle's weekly attempt to win 'spot the ball' was always a highlight of the weekend . Times sure change

My son's birthday's in July, turned 18 last year and he still qualified for the 14-17 age bracket according o the ticket office. Bit of a hit in the pocket this time round

It would make an interesting court case as the basis of the contract, ie the date an order was placed, should be the date when money changes hands. So in theory the lower price should apply. One other factor is that Town do have to sell a season ticket.

My daughter got a childs ticket on the bus at Morrisons. With all the roadworks by the time she reached The Pier she was 27 and had 3 kids.

Same situation for me and son. He had to have young persons 18-22 season ticket. Ouch!

I used to get a standing ticket before I had a season ticket and got in the ground early to climb over the gate at the bottom of the pontoon to save the 6d entrance fee.
