Griclesfield Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 was in the TO today picking up my Hull tickets when a father n son was in front of me in the que, renewing the season tickets. the dad turned to his son and asked him who his favourite player was, to which his son said Anthony Basso ...... his dad just stared at him and said " dont be silly lad, that pwick will be sold soon, choose again " the son looking slightly concerned then said .... " Roman Bednar " .... his dad then sighed and said no son ....... he played for WBA ... his son in the end named about another 15 names and had to finally settle with Robbie Neilson that his dad chose for him ...... was very funny indeed ..... ( TO are still useless as pre ordered ticket so i went along and just said my last name and got the tickets .... i could of just said smith .. ended up with about 50 tickets .... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids say the funniest things. many kids favourite player was elvis with many others saying harts and big craig. men who stood up and told the fans about the shambles that was hearts under romanov. now our new manager is telling us how it is and at last we seem to be getting some honesty from a man in management. let's hope our children and grandkids have many years of worshiping hearts hero's who don't get stabbed in the back for caring about our team.

CG was my wee lads ultimate favourite, hence why he took the route of supporting the next goalie in (the firing) line. Hope you're right with the rest of your post mate.

Griclesfield Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 it seems that 60 is the age for oap. ticketmaster confirmed this aswell when i phoned the ticket office. so i booked it. i would speak with them and get to refund the difference. it meant he got overcharged last season aswell then no .....

I think you are mistaken. If you read the terms and conditions of ST OAP Concession it clearly states that it is 65 for a man and 60 for a woman and Match Day Tickets terms and conditions clearly states that OAP Concession is over 65's. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumbles1874 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 so many players from the past where great but if you have a kid of say 3 or 4 who is just starting to take an intrest in the game then who have we got mayby larry when he can be a**ed i can see why robbie as been at the club 10years maybe glen in a few years time but i would hate to have my life on picking a player from last season and arguing the point why, my hero was alway gary mackay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Whittaker's Tache Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 It's illegal for it to be 65 for a man and 60 for a woman It's sex discrimination, thats why they brought the bus pass age down for men a few years ago.

K1874M Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Do the over sixties get a concession OAP season ticket. My Dad has renewed at full price. He's 61. Funny but true story... My old man paid full whack for his ticket two years ago even tho he was off age.... purely because the bird behind the counter was fit. My mum was over the moon when he came home pished and told her. Oh and he was over 60... not 65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toggie88 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 It appears the TO have no clue about it. My two cents: If you (or parent/grandparent) are over 60, just get an OAP. If Ticketmaster says it is and it's against the law, then the TO don't have a leg to stand on. Of course if you are a Super Fan you'll just pay full whack, and just get your monthly salary paid directly into Romanov's bank account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Des' Dad Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 It appears the TO have no clue about it. My two cents: If you (or parent/grandparent) are over 60, just get an OAP. If Ticketmaster says it is and it's against the law, then the TO don't have a leg to stand on. Of course if you are a Super Fan you'll just pay full whack, and just get your monthly salary paid directly into Romanov's bank account. Problem is that if you are an existing ST holder they have your date of birth. Anyway, it's ok for Hearts to decide 65 is the age for a concession ticket and, by the way, a man currently gets his state pension when he is 65. That will change over the next few years but that would be no reason for Hearts to change the age for concessions. Christ, I'm boring myself.
