Dick_Turpin Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Incredible Jeff Club introduce intelligent price bracket to encourage young(ish) fans to still come up and who will encourage a positive atmosphere: Club get slated for it Any excuse from some (And no, I won't be taking advantage of this ST opportunity, so no bias from me!) This is a price bracket tinker. It doesn't move me either way - prices across the board are what matters. We have very few details yet. On a personal level the shortness and timing of this window is a bit poo . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosleyowl Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 A lot of young people will jave different priorities at that age and may fall out of the routine of going to football in favour of other things. If its a few quid cheaper it might keep them going during that time so they then keep going forever. Also it hasnt stated the discount yet, it could be £20 for all anyone knows so there may be no need for the furore. Also if you are 27 with a mortgage, a wife and 2 kids, and dont have enough spare change for a season ticket then a small discount shouldnt make a difference anyway as financial priorotites will be elsewhere surely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all need to hang on until tomorrow but another reduced bracket and kids prices frozen can only be good things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent got a ST as my financual priorities are the family and mortgage. Although I'm only 23 so this new band might be perfevct for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingOwl Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Was brought up at the steering group meeting about the fact that 21-24 year olds can't cope with the massive jump from junior prices/student prices to adult ones. And this is where you see a lot of people drop off. Not just about helping them...but it is about keeping them hooked, from a business perspective. Glad they've listened on that.

Captain Sl-OWL-ly Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Be interesting to know if this is actually legal based on age discrimination ? I can understand concessions for u18's, those still in full time education and pensioners etc but this is just out and out age discrimination.. You can't advertise a job with that description so why should this be allowed ? Any one know the true legality of this (note, not the usual OT "I'm saying it, so it must be true brigade")...

You get 21-24 ticket brackets at away games all the time, Not a new thing we've done. Not that it surprises me that you've found a new thing to moan about though. Would you consider suing the club if you were right? I bet you would actually. Edited January 1, 2016 by FlyingOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose those holiday companies that offer a holiday package only to those over 50 are guilty of age discrimination too http://www.solosholidays.co.uk/singles-holidays-over-50s http://travel.saga.co.uk/over-50s-holidays.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minimum wage varies by age and that's just fine [its not but that's another discussion...] I'd say offering discounts like this is just fine too.

mosleyowl Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Right yeah lets potentially embroil the club in a legal suit because someone is paying £50 less than me. Car insurance is more expensive for under 25s because theyre more likely to crash, STs are cheaper for under 25s because theyre less likely to get a ST. Im sure SWFCs legal team is better than owlstalks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopswfc76 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Interesting point. It's a shuffle point brought up by somebody just to moan, whinge and try to boot the club. What a supporter!!! We have only announced at the minute - A cheaper bracket for tickets. Kids tickets either same or reduced. Option to buy for 3years and get at next seasons prices. Not sure how anybody can find a negative in that? Tomorrow when they announce the prices then they might be a reason to moan but not with the info we have so far.

Dick_Turpin Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I'm all for cheaper tickets for anyone - good luck to the young uns that still have their hair, few commitments and now cheap tickets. I don't begrudge them - it probably won't be a huge discount anyway. I don't like the timing and brevity of the window and would be interested to hear their arguments on this - when was the EB window last season? But the key is the overall pricing.

Mike Hunt Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I think people who have supported the club for more than 50 years should get free tickets . And a warm blanket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingOwl Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 when was the EB window last season? But the key is the overall pricing. Don't know the exact dates, think it may have been in March. But it's not a fair comparison considering MM was still chairman till early Feb and the hand over process is probably a lengthy one. It was a month long initial window though I think.
