Season tics

[Returnofrros]

100% ^^^^^

We should be looking at how to maximise the numbers of youngsters involved with our club. Helping families to see DFC as a value for money day out, competitively priced soft drinks and food being used as an better option than the cinema for example.

Anyone whose got one now AND is in receipt of pension credit (generally the poorest) I'd allow to keep, anyone who has one now but not in receipt of pension credit I'd equalise prices with adult tic over next 3 to 5 years.

Every reduction should be in the 16 to 22 or 23 age group imho.....and folk that want to take their bairns.

It would be interesting to know how many OAP (aged 65 and over) Dundee FC season ticket holders and the number of season ticket holders in the other categories including Adult season ticket holders.
One thing that annoys me is that when we were relegated at the end of the 2018-19 season FPS did not reduce the season ticket prices and PATG prices for home games in the Championship in the 2019-20 season.
If we are relegated at the end of this season I would not be surprised to see the current season ticket price and ticket prices for home games in the Championship to remain the same which is effectively a hidden price increase.
I have just had a discussion with my wife who is a football widow about some posters on this topic wanting to scrap the reduction for OAP season ticket holders and individual OAP ticket prices for each home game. She replied that OAPs who are more susceptible to illness than younger people would likely decide to pay per view sitting at home watching the game on their computer instead of freezing to death sitting in Dens Park.
I was an armchair supporter of Dundee Football Club for 28 years as I used to play golf at Downfield Golf Club on a Saturday afternoon teeing off at 1pm. During the autumn and winter months when the course was open I used to drive home listening to up to the minute reports on Radio Tay and watching the vidi printer when I got home.

Older people are not more susceptible to illness, that's a myth. They just have more time on their hands so they whinge a lot more about it.

That is a lot of rubbish.
A lot more older people suffer from heart failure, COPD, kidney failure, dementia etc than young people.
It is well known fact that as people get older their organs start to fail. It is just a part of getting old which comes to us all.

I agree for once with you , I’ve got an OAP season ticket but I’ve only been twice so far this season , I look out the window before the game and if the weather is Sh1te then I watch the game on my joeyed stick for free , I’ve had long Covid since September so don’t know when I’ll feel well enough to go back to dens , but I will still be renewing my OAP season ticket next season anyway , I’m not just a Dundee fan and a supporter , ps Covid is real guys since September I’ve gone from walking the dog 4 miles every morning to being breathless after drying myself after a shower and not being able to walk my pup

Sorry to hear about your illness. I had a similar problem over a year ago suffering from a chest infection and then four months later an upper respiratory tract infection. After using a peak flow meter for two weeks I was diagnosed suffering from asthma and I now use a Kelhale inhaler night and morning.
It has been a great success as I am now able to walk up Provost Road after the game with no problems whereas before my asthma was diagnosed I had stop half way up to catch my breath.
