I think we're going to have to take the OPs word as true.
Bizarre thing to lie about?

I know that over the years, in your various guises, you have a reputation for being away with the fairies, but you have really surpassed yourself this time. Just off to the match but at least this means i'll walk up the road with a big smile on my face

Yes, could be BS
Or perhaps someone was lying about their age to get OAP prices, has been caught out and been told to pay in full for the period they have been ripping off the club. Lucky the club don't take civil action against the fraudster

I liked the more recent one with the bloke's son that got sacked by the ticket office for volunteering to take the uncollected away tickets to Brentford on Boxing Day.

I've had 2 accounts shut down. I've never once had more than 1 account open at the same time. My current girlfriend once used NSC under the same IP. Hitony, claimed we were the same people based on his moderating powers. For the next 4 years people like yourself have stuck to a story which simply isn't true and are willing to remind me of it whenever, wherever.
What was that about being away with the faireies?

Come on. Its also your own responsibility to check the direct debit is correct. If you know what the right amount to pay is, you should pay it. What if it had been done in reverse, and they were charging you too much each month? I'm pretty sure you'd demand a full refund, and you'd do it damn quickly.
If you just hide behind a poor direct-debit set-up as your excuse don't be surprised if the club pull it and demand up-front payment of the full price.
Everybody wants everything on a plate for them these days, no-one ever wants to take responsibility for their own affairs any more.

Is this part of the agreement when you buy a Season ticket?
Why should he have to check wether the Albion are correctly taking money out of his account? Surely he should have the safeguard of knowing the club wouldn't mess with his bank account?
If you accidentally purchased 10 tickets instead of 1. Would the club give you a full refund of the cash if you realised you'd made a mistake?

You just let people take money out of your account without checking? blimey guvnor
Anyway, first thing to copy and paste from the T&C's is "Please note that by opting to pay for your Season Ticket by monthly Direct Debit you are committing to pay the full cost of the Season Ticket. " Nowhere does it imply that if they undercharge for the first few months of the DD then you get away with not paying the full amount.
and the answer to your second question is of course they would (presuming you don't ask several months into the season). Season tickets are completely refundable within 14 days of purchase.

Stop looking at posts just to make contrary comments....how do you pay too much by accident FFS? If I was that stupid I'd probably deserve to lose it.

Does anyone know.......when STs are sold to (say) Under 21s (or U10s etc) - what date (during or before the start of the season) is used by the Club to determine whether you are an Under 21 or an adult?
I believe it to be the age on the day of the first fixture of the season.

Isn't the checking of money gong into and out of your bank account just basic financial acumen. Surely there is a need to know how much is in your account and how this will be affected by forthcoming outgoings. Then when a bank statement is received why isn't this being checked to ensure that the amounts tally with the expected amounts.
No doubt if the direct debit amount being taken by the club was higher than expected there would have been a phone call to resolve or a call to the bank to invoke the direct debit guarantee.
Just smacks of incompetence or turning a blind eye in the hope of gaining from the under charging.

Sounds a bit odd if your ST price is fixed on that basis. Would imagine that a majority of STH who cross an age boundary do so during the course of the season. would have thought that there would be a specific T&C clause that governs such an occurrence, especially as it would appear to be a fairly common occurrence.

If scenario 1 is true the club should swallow it - they have made the mistake, their problem. As a possible scenario, you go to your local supermarket and buy an item, for what you think is the right price, the management later realise they have made a mistake and come to your home and ask you to pay the difference - what would your reaction be? I know what mine would be, two words beginning with F&O.
Scenario 2, if trying to get away with it - then you have been busted, so cough up!
Personally I am sure it is the so far unexplained scenario 3... watch this space!
Sorry wrong post
Are we misunderstanding each other?
Are you suggesting that the price should change mid-season if you move age ranges?
