I would have thought so ( Senior season ticket) but contact the ticket office first for confirmation.

I would add for a recount. Why would you pay full price when all the matches are when you are a senior?

For example, usually the season starts later than your birthday, so it would not be an issue.

Owing to winter world Cup, next season is 6th. Your birthday 8th.

Fixtures are unknown, even what league, so you are showing faith.

Say we are drawn away for the first Prem match? You will watch every home game as a senior!

Case rests m'lud!

The club in previous years have made it clear that the cut off date is 1st August

I got my OAP ticket last year and my birthday is 3rd August. It must be worth a phone call to check.

I was told that if you're 65 before the season starts then you qualify for an over 65 ticket.

Maybe it's changed.

And that’s how it should be but they did make it 1st August. No reference to it in yesterday’s release though.

Anyway, tomorrow is renewal and perhaps when an oap ticket is requested, the system may allow. If not, ask and make the case - even if it is one at full price plus a season ticket! Negotiate!😁

I'd go and buy it and make sure they know tyour date of birth (I presume it's on the application form). If they let you have one, as would be only reasonable, I really don't see them trying to go back on it later. It's never worth the bad publicity.

On this subject do they do disabled tickets ?

If they do have you got to sit in the disabled stand or can you keep your normal seat.
