No. I'm 66 and I bought my first seasoncard with the discount this season. If you read the wording, it says 'over 65'.

Over 65 at the start of the season in August.
So if your 65th birthday is in September you won't get your concessionary season card untill the next August,when you with be almost 66.
My 65th birthday was in June 2021 and I got my over 65 concessionary season card for the season starting August 2021.
Likewise my pal who I sit with was 65 last May ( he was born in May 1958) and he got his over 65 card at the start of this current season.
 
FOC fight! FOC fight!

Who’s false nashers are flying out first?

Come on you 2 old timers, sort it out, make up, and be best FOC friends forever.

I’m 56, so I’m not too far behind you 2.

My birthday is in June. I was 66 years old last June, and I received the discount for the first time this season.

All I can add is the seasoncard on my phone states my ageband as being 'over 65', and it's quite clear on City's ticket site concessions are available for those aged 'over 65'.

I don't know when it starts.

No fight. It's all love, peace and respect.

I made the wrong conclusion myself a couple of years ago.

65 plus a day is over 65! My mate who sits next to me was 65 on the 20th February, he’s already got/had the discount for the Copenhagen and Newcastle games. Along with him, me and my mate are all 65 by the end of May and will definitely get the over 65 discount.
 
There'll be a massive (sorry) chunk of support who have been in it for the long run from the late 60's to mid 70's and we're all heading to OAP/ concession status.

As things stand that's an awful lot of income the money men are going to miss out on, just think if say 15k are in/due to go concession in the next few seasons the loss compared to a different tourist in their seats every game is err...game changing.

We've all been following for years and years & it's been our choice but, sadly I feel City for all the sound bites would throw us under a bus if they thought they'd get away with it.

At present, if you're 65th birthday falls after the season commences,you pay full season ticket prices for that season.
But during that season you will qualify for a concessionary ticket for any cup match once your birthday has occurred.
ie,if you're birthday is on October 1st you qualify from then.

I can see £930 in ES L2 and the over 65 price is £470

Thanks, yes as a 64 year old I’ve been paying £92.50 per month on a Direct Debit, turn 65 early May so hopefully get the discount.

My last Junior ticket was in 1976, £4.50 for the season as an under 18, still got the receipt somewhere and the book with the unused vouchers as you never knew what number was required until reaching the ground. If I can find it I’ll post a picture on here, it was for 23 home games as well so just over 19p per game!

You’re not taking into account that is somewhat offset each year by the number of juniors turning adult.

I imagine the adults to OAPs is higher. Maybe that’s the thinking behind the suggestions that junior STs only may be available next year?

To get the two figures to eventually totally offset each other.

It looks like something has gone wrong with the price on your season card.
If you were 66 last June, you have paid 1 year extra for an adult card,when in fact you were entitled to an over 65 discounted card .
As long as you are 65 when the season starts in mid- August,you are entitled to the over -65 discount.
( Which has already been stated by Chappie on the previous page of this thread).

Have you seen the number of kids that follow us now? We‘ve been getting more new supporters for the last 10 years & since Haaland it’s been astounding. That’s why other people on here complain about the number of “tourists” who are actually new fans who can’t get season tickets!

I thought the cut off was May - but not sure

No,you are wrong.
As Chappie has already stated,it's always mid - August,when the new season starts.
My birthday is the end of June ( I was 65 in 2021 ) and I got my first over- 65 discounted ticket for season 2021-22.
This current season is my 3rd season as an over 65.

Sorry. You’re right. Just looked on website & it’s says:

Your age on 1st August in the renewal year determines which of the categories below applies to you:

Cheers pal.
I remember reading that when I got my first discounted card.
It's a bit tough on someone who's birthday is in mid/late August,but they have to have a cut off at some point on the calendar and 1st August seems a reasonable date to have.
