That makes it seem like we need different printing
for the kids tickets. Surely it isn't an insurmountable problem?

The club could surely print the Under 12 season tickets in a different colour. It is not rocket science!

They are a different colour, but the person on the gate being paid nothing for doing a job isn't likely to challenge an adult who presents an under 12 season ticket - why should they risk getting abuse and possibly threats from such an individual? In the final analysis if the gate operator has 600 clicks and 600 stubs they don't care.

By the way I think the under 12 ticket is £1 - why would the club reduce that to half price? It's also conditional that the £1 ticket is purchased with a full price adult ticket so that's probably why they can't be available. I also believe it's restricted to two per full price adult ticket You can however buy a juvenile (12 - 16 YOA or in full time education) half priced ticket without needing an accompanying adult.

I agree though that it's a bit off not selling the £1 ticket for under 12 to an existing season ticket holder assuming that ticket holder hasn't already purchased the maximum two.

Deecom previously posted that he had already purchased an Under 12 season ticket for his older grandson so he still qualifies for the two Under 12 season tickets per Adult season ticket purchased.
In my opinion the Club need to use a bit of commonsense on the selling of half price season tickets for children aged Under 12.

I think the problem is that the turnstile operators don’t challenge the culprits.

No problem with an adult gaining entry with an OAP ticket as there shouldn't be any OAP concessions.

Agreed

Disagree. Sort out the alleged abuse.

You don't stop being an adult when you turn 65. Most pensioners are well enough off and can afford full price (of course some won't be). Discounts should be removed from adults that can afford it and increased for younger people with families and who might be more likely to struggle to afford the tickets.

The whole reduction for OAPs thing is a relic of a bygone age and society now needs to reject it.

You might change your tune when you become 65.
My wife’s GP (now retired) once told her to use her age to her advantage.

I won't, but as your GP advised your wife if it's there I'll take total advantage.
