[Football] OAP Concessions

[HeaviestTed]

OAPs don't buy £100 shirts in the club shop

Ban them all.

No one buys shirts in the club shop as they are always out of stock

Pensioners are wise enough to ask the staff when stock is coming in. Or is that just women?

You speak to people? Gah wtf is this?!

Meanwhile, in Germany…

those numbers suggest only 10k season tickets. what are they selling another 10k's at? where are they getting their revenue from if not from tickets and TV (which we know is far less out of EPL). there's a lot of detail and difference hiding under a simple comment.

I think you know what I mean.

Not really. But maybe it’s just the way you’ve phrased it.

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

I think we all know, deep down, that we'll probably follow suit within the next few seasons now the door is ajar.

Shocking that the big clubs have started this

We’ve made numerous ticketing decisions that don’t benefit fans who’ve regularly gone to games for years. Quite why anyone thinks this would be any different is beyond me. We’re all about the money, just as every other big club in England is.

It must also be particularly galling for 18-30s knowing it’s pretty much the immediately previous generations who put a stop to them having free uni education and cheap housing. These are both still available abroad but the right to live and work in Europe has also been taken away.

That very last bit …. means many are literally trapped living in the ultra high costs UK.

There are areas at the Amex where there are no reductions for OAPS or Juniors.
I have OAP friends in west lower middle section who get no reduction.

Yep. C block has no OAP concessions.

 

[timbha]

To be fair, there has always been that one central section in WSL from the start of the Amex that has no concessions to anyone (OAP, U18 etc)

Presume there are no concessions in 1901 too?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Correct

 

[ozzygull]

Surely ageism is giving or denying favourable terms to someone purely because of their date of birth?

I was responding to them have to sit in particular areas of the ground, that does not seem right to me

"Seemly villa have restricted areas that OAP ST can sit too!" from post 4

In the grand scheme of things, OAP concessions surely cannot amount to much money?

 

[Petunia]

The shirts are £60, and we do, for our grandkids.

I bought 3 of the Euro shirts for Mr P, myself and our grandson.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Not for everything ...

Seems golf memberships quite like to offer 18-30s a discount!

View attachment 178609

My golf club doesn’t have oap discount…£1100 for a 7 day membership!

EBay innit.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

….in the knowledge that absolutely no one in that age range plays golf

My Sons do, and pay £55 a year, it's enabled them to be attracted to golf, spend a fortune on clubs and kit and probably means they'll be playing for the next 50 years! Well done golf

Maybe we need means tested season tickets, or a % of cheap Season Tickets for those on low incomes.

This would seem to be fairer but an absolute nightmare to administer.

We already do. Kids and pensioners (State Pension circa £9K pa)

Not all people of OAP age rely on state pension.
