The club have set 60 as a concession rate, the same as they have a young adult reduction, not heard any moans about that.
I fall in the full price category and couldn't care less what anyone else is paying. I feel my ticket offers good value. The club have setup the pricing structure that they see fit. Lets face it if they thought they were losing out they would change the prices.
Lets accept the prices the club have set.
Not all over 60's are minted.
If you are over 60 and feel you haven't paid enough then plough the extra £100 into the FPS so the club benefit.
What does James think? I jest, I jest!
Sorry, James, couldn't resist.
I wasnt in the services . 60 was my retirement age , and the company still has that retirement age. so i agree , not entirely accurate .Not entirely accurate.
I have to say that the renewal price of £229 for this category is far too low-and I do speak as a recent beneficiary of this pricing structure. There is a £100 reduction from the normal adult renewal of £329 ,which I feel is not justified. There is the argument that 60 is too low a cut off anyway-many clubs have 65 as age for concessions.
You could argue that justification for these concessions ,while it ,may have been appropriate in years gone by,does not apply today,given that over 60's are probably the richest demographic group of all.However I would keep the concession for disabled.
Bearing in mind that we are filling the ground,LCFC does not to look critically at this pricing structure,especially when we need to maximise gate revenue.
Don't care, only 53. I was reading Banter the other day, someone dared to say something bad about the JIC prices, they all jumped on his back as well for daring not to believe that the board shat milk chocolate.
Think you will find that you don't pay NI on pension payments but will do on salaries. Also you need 40 years on full NI payment to receive a full state pension.I agree with the last post - we have 2 season tickets, and whilst my wife, who is over 60, uses it more than most, we decided to pay full adult price for it on the basis that we could afford to do so - and it gave us some flexibility if we wanted to use it for a younger member of the family.
Additionally there are a number of universal benefits, including the non-payment of national insurance contributions for people over retirement age who are still working, that should perhaps be based more on need rather than universally available to all irrespective of means. The NHS and Social Care are crying out for funding and this would be a way of going someway to improving things for people when they get older and need help.
Rant over!

Be careful where you coming from. The club could loose even more income by people not renewing! Gain £50 pound but loose £229 makes sense.Because over 60's,generally speaking are much better off than young adults. While the opportunity for an over 60's individual exists to make a seperate donation,that is beside the point. The key thing is are the over 60,s pulling their weight financially ? At £10 gross per game,based on the renewal figure,many would say no. A promotion challenging side is very expensive and there will be times when we have no cup runs whatsoever.
If it is felt the pricing is inappropriate then this should be challenged and debated.It would be worth asking the question what difference to club revenue would result in the £ 229 renewal price being £279 (for sake of argument) .
