Hi, my wife is retired (62) and drawing her state pension. She is a season ticket holder but was charged full adult price. Should she have had a reduced price? If so, can she change it now the direct debit is in operation and she has paid a few months already?:down:

In short, no, she is paying the correct amount. Our senior citizen threshold is 65 for male and female in line with new state pension rules. We did used to have a split 60 for women and 65 for men, but were advised this is actually sexual discrimination and made it 65 for both sexes a few years ago. Therefore for any fans who were in the 60-65 bracket we allowed them to continue purchasing a concessionary price, but as your wife will have been under 60 at that stage she will have to wait until she is 65 to pay the concessionary price. Sorry!
