I know at current prices, but if the price goes to £450 as Pete suggested in an earlier post, it’ll certainly make me think about it a bit more than I do currently…I've got the same issue due to work commitments. But got an early bird ST. If you miss 7/8 games its still under £20 a game.
I guess it's the nature of society and everyone being a different situation, but I find it hard to stomach that my old man pays much, much less than me (a Dad to a kid in full time nursery care) despite the fact his wealth absolutely dwarfs mine. I am equally aware there are some pensioners who desperately need the help. Probably one for a different topic!The argument would be if you want your team to compete at the top you can’t expect to pay the lowest amounts. Seems reasonable but I do think concessions for kids pensioners etc are essential and with the cost of living mmj’s work becomes more and more important
Good point tooI guess it's the nature of society and everyone being a different situation, but I find it hard to stomach that my old man pays much, much less than me (a Dad to a kid in full time nursery care) despite the fact his wealth absolutely dwarfs mine.

There would be too many of us in there. Everyone on this site who bothers to go for a start.An incoherent drivel block would be fantastic, especially if you could nominate people to be moved there (e.g you get tagged by 3 people for shouting utter bollocks and that's it, off you go).
Which is why as a grandad with disposable income, I pay for all my grandkids to help out.Based on averages, people over the age of 60 have more wealth and spare money than those under 60. My Dad's final salary pension is higher than my working salary, and I have Nursery Fees and a mortgage to allow for. To see him turning up with cheaper tickets than me isn't quite right....!
Totally agree mate and in danger of offending some I would say these days a combination of factors would suggest that many people in the pension age discount group have significantly more money than the ‘adults’ that are paying mortgages , childcare and the other ridiculous cost of living increases for families.I guess it's the nature of society and everyone being a different situation, but I find it hard to stomach that my old man pays much, much less than me (a Dad to a kid in full time nursery care) despite the fact his wealth absolutely dwarfs mine.

I wish we were related….my old man wouldn’t buy me or my kids a drink, never mind anything else and he’s not poor.Which is why as a grandad with disposable income, I pay for all my grandkids to help out.
Suggest you tell your old man,that you will get no pleasure in spending his dosh when he has gone.
Much better he spends some on you now , so he can watch you enjoy it.
Mind you as a city fan for 63 years I am not sure I am doing the kids any favours.
As said above a grandads job is to treat grandkids, there’s no pockets in shrouds.Which is why as a grandad with disposable income, I pay for all my grandkids to help out.

Know what you mean, I know friends and fellow pensioners who would not dream of giving their kids money to help out.I wish we were related….my old man wouldn’t buy me or my kids a drink, never mind anything else and he’s not poor.
And paying up to 15% interest on our mortgage payments I paid double digit interest on my mortgages for years, started looking for a house when they were £3000, bought 18 month later at £9500 thanks to a 30year council mortgage, no sick pay, egg & chips on a Wednesday (day before pay day) paid national insurance for nearly 50 years and now have a billionaire PM who deep down begrudges your state pension, scrapped the triple lock last year and will quite happily do it again with that smirky smile etched on his face.On this topic,as a pensioner I have to say I paid towards my retirement for 49 years.
I remember wanting a Capri, I got an Allegro. Two cars was for the rich. Foreign holidays were out of the question when the kids were young.
There were no debts except for the mortgage, if we couldn’t afford to buy it, we did without.
Renting b&w televisions etc. Meals out was for birthdays, and a beer down the pub was Friday only.
A season ticket! you must be joking. Pick your games,and don’t go out on Friday that week.
Not trying to get into this debate again, but I don’t see my kids or any of their friends with that attitude. If you can’t afford it,use the credit card seems to be the way.
And what about the pensioners not as fortunate as me ? Followed the city all their life, but now they are on a pension do they have to give it up ?

Yet the coffin dodgers amongst us forget all this and some sort of patriotic duty to support this lot in power then moan when they struggle and many do.
Counting the days? Don’t wish your life awayIn 2 years I’ll get a cheap season ticket. Fully justified I think
Counting the days? Don’t wish your life away
Wish I was still paying full price, would not be a pensioner then.
Never was Gren, I fully expected it to be 65I do wonder why it’s 60 as that’s not a pensioner now - didn’t realise it was that age
It was for those with longer life expectancy (I.e women). Suppose CCFC were practicing equality - most clubs seniors start at 65.Never was Gren, I fully expected it to be 65
OoooHas there been any mention or update on what the club were compensating current season ticket holders for the rearranged games at the start of this season? I completely forgot about that until someone mentioned the other day.
Maybe a certain percentage off next years season ticket could work?

no - imagine the riff raff then on cheap ticketsCharge everyone 1% of their yearly income for a season ticket. Sorted.
Let it go.
I watch Oxford when City aren't playing and their senior price kicks in at 65.I do wonder why it’s 60 as that’s not a pensioner now - didn’t realise it was that age

like the striking teachers and their 13 weeks holidays? and yes i am only fishing, so no bitingWhy should I pay more than someone who couldn't be arsed at school?
For everything else, there's MasterCardThere are some things money can’t buy.
Feeling sorry for yourself. Talk to your dad, he may be able to offer some advice.Based on averages, people over the age of 60 have more wealth and spare money than those under 60. My Dad's final salary pension is higher than my working salary, and I have Nursery Fees and a mortgage to allow for. To see him turning up with cheaper tickets than me isn't quite right....!
What a great post. Life was never a bed of roses. The mortgage rates of the 1980’s were horrendous. I got in more financial trouble through me hiding it away from the Mrs. No that she’d have spent it. We saved for a rainy day.On this topic,as a pensioner I have to say I paid towards my retirement for 49 years.
